Flowers in a neighbours garden …

Today I went to a  house,

in the next street to me

and asked if I could practice taking

flower photos in their garden ..

A lovely elderly couple that I have never

even spoken too.

It took a while to explain what I

was going to do with them ….

The blog …!!!!

The Cosmos is native to Mexico, but the lady of the house,

did say that they grow all over the land in South Africa,

where her friend lives.

Spot the bee flying !

 

Honesty Seed Pods

I think secretly they were very happy that

someone really notices their garden..

You cannot miss it .. it is beautiful when in

full bloom!!

Books, Books and More Books …

These photos were taken

in our local second hand

bookshop.

   

You could spend hours in here,

shame there is no coffee shop!

Whilst waiting for the bus ……..

  


  

Deep within ……….

We all have something that we would like to share, but

somehow blogging doesn’t seem right..

Sometimes the past catches up with you

and it can all go wrong ..

Sometimes the past can catch up with you

and it all goes RIGHT!!!!

I am so happy .

Flowers … taken in Cornwall last week.

My Latest Piece of Ceramic Painting ….

I am really happy how this has turned out.

It was an experiment of sorts,

I saw a design on a lovely top and adapted it.

A Quick Note …..

Having been away from the computer

for a whole week,

I have lots to catch up with.

I need to sort out

my photos, catch up with

people and blogs.

So I am going

to

leave you with these

beautiful words.

A little plaque I bought whilst in Cornwall

Hope you all have a wonderful week.

Barbara , this is for you :-) :-)

My one and only postcard from my hubby

 

He sent me this postcard in 2002 ..It is kept in my box of memories …..

The Shereton Maui, located on famous Ka’anapali Beach, Maui..

Funny when I read it ..

“Well I have remembered, after the excitement of the submarine yesterday”

Now that is where I would love to be right now..!!

 

Homemade Tortellini …

I am lucky enough to have

a son, who is a

top chef in the

Royal Air Force 

and the other day at work

they made this for dinner .

Tortellini

filled with

Goats Cheese and Sundried Tomatoes..

 

It was so delicious.

I would like to blog about him more, but he

doesn’t like it.

One day I will get a photo of him,

with all of his medals!!

Liverpool LiL’s

 

Liverpool Lil’s in San Francisco…

 

 

This lovely post card was sent to me by my wonderful friend

Britt-Arnild,  who lives in Trondheim, Norway.

She went to Califonia with her husband Terje and youngest daughter Marta

for three whole weeks ..

She met quite a few blogging friends too.. One in particular,

being Rachel who she met in San Francisco and they had

lunch in this charming pub.

Britt-Arnild was the first person to send me a hand written letter

April 2009 ,

and that is how my postcard collection started!!

She also has quite a few blogs, she LOVES travelling too.

Please go and have a look at her fantastic blogs,

where you will see fab photos and beautiful words.

A big big Thank You to Britt-Arnild.
