flowers




How do you like my Quatermass flowers? ( most of you will not remember the programme, Stuart calls them" Tryfidds"). Alan bought the plants for me a week ago they were only 3 inches high then. I have had to support them with three knitting needles, with one they just pulled it over. The perfume meets you as you come in the door.

On line again.

At last my Internet is working and thanks to Stuart have at last got my painting on the last blog.
I had a day out this week at Millstones with the residents of Rycroft Green including my friend Peggy and her daughter Christine. A good day was had by everybody in spite of a mix up in the leaving time. While we were there Peggy and I decided that we would like another holiday at the Long Eaton Hotel in Blackpool so when we came home we booked for June.
TODAY I GOT A NEW MOBILE PHONE! I traded my old phone in, paid £14.95 with £20 credit on the phone how is that for a bargain! I will probably never have to top it up again. Thanks again to Stuart for taking me and Louise for looking up the right place to go and her technical help.

I started my week by going to my exercise class at Pudsey Live @ Home scheme( specially evolved for geriatrics like me.) We meet at St. Andrews in Pudsey, I go with my friend Joyce on Monday mornings and we sit on chairs for an hour doing a "gentle" workout to music.
On Tuesday Alan came to stay for one of his regular hospital appointments and he is still here but going home on Monday.
Wednesday was my day for having lunch at Rycroft Green Sheltered housing with another friend Peggy, roast ham this week.
Thursday Joyce Peggy and I go to the Live at Home painting group where we meet people with similar interests and spend an enjoyable two hours painting and chatting. I finished a painting of Stonehenge this week Ihave tried to take a photograph to include but my hand is not very steady so I am afraid it is a bit out of focus.
Tonight I am going to Rycroft Green for a Pie and Pea supper and tomorrow Alan and I will be visiting Stuart and family so it has been a busy week.

New Blog


Just a quick post to announce my new blog, just got back from my holiday in Tenerife with John & Norma. Sun hat, sun screen and sit in the shade watching the fit young men surfing. Good food and sangria by the bucket load.
