Water Games…

Water Games…

Thanks for popping in. Have been having a splendid time in a Kentish Spa with my dear friend Anita. This is her gift to me for my 60th. Very generous and very special! Been a total water baby today. There are several pools and water massage power shower things. One was pretty savage! I swear it would have knocked my face off if I had dared face it! More like water boarding than water games! I stuck at it though….

Evening everyone! Paul here. Barb is off having a bit of a girly weekend and she called me about an hour ago and asked if I could do the blog as she is struggling with an internet connection.

Anyway, tomorrow evening at 6pm on Hochanda it is the launch of…

Sew Happy! Tina’s back!

Sew Happy! Tina’s back!

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It is so wet today and rainy here today, which is not good for Tina. She has a substantial leak in her roof at home, and the water is pouring straight into the house. I spoke to her this morning and she was pretty distressed. Who wouldn’t be?! Blimey! I remember water pouring into our kitchen at Christmas – I tried to laugh it off, because we had a house full of friends and…

Stormy weather …

Stormy weather …

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Funny old day today. It was raining cats n dogs when I left the house this morning. Very black and murky indeed. And there’s a leak somewhere round the windscreen, so it even rained inside the car! Time to call a man who can with a van, a knight of the road! But I was looking at the clouds, and I thought. Now there’s a background we haven’t done for a while. So let’s….

Gold blend – and I don’t mean coffee!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got in from a lovely lunch and afternoon with the family. It was Dad’s birthday, so we went down to Folkestone, to a very nice restaurant called Rocksalt. I highly recommend it. Great view across the harbour, super friendly service, very, very good food. And it was great to see Mum and Dad on good form. They really are doing well! Mum will be at the Open Days in Ditton, selling her Dingle…

Funky Foliage Dies and Stencils coming up….

Hi there ! Thanks for joining me. Bit late this evening. Been to a super surprise party. It was Katie‘s 30th Birthday, and she was blissfully unaware of the brilliant celebrations that her parents And sisters has planned for her. You should have seen her face when she walked into the hall full of friends and family. It‘s tricky uploading pics from a phone to an iPad to a blog, so I shall build a little picture album for Katie…
