Hi there. Greetings from a hotel room in Düsseldorf. Got here eventually. We have been debating whether tis better to drive or fly… Do you prefer to sit at the airport? Or do you prefer to sit at leShuttle? Well, either way, trust me, sit you will! We opted for the Road-Route, the Sally Sat-Nav option. Yeah, well. We had a 50-50 chance, didn’t we? And who’s to say Gatwick would have been less of a farce. Is it me?…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How time flies, eh? This time last week, our wedding was in full flow! In fact, we were getting set for the safari, which was pretty special. I know. Sounds like a rather weird wedding. But it was actually epic! I shall never forget trundling through the wildlife park with all our friends and family in my wedding dress, with Mum and Dad in the truck in front! As I say, weird and wonderful….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a glorious day it is here! The wind chimes are tinkling away in the trees, the woodpecker is pecking away at the old Scots pine in the far corner of the garden and I am sat up here in my little art studio with the door open. Bliss. Now if the cars could just go round the other way, and air traffic control could redirect the planes, and the neighbour – aka PITA…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. It’s all go go go here. I was just enjoying a little down time with Dave for a couple of days, but those two pesky gits Wurka and Hollick crept in during the night, so I saddled up the old workhorse early. Never mind. We have had a wonderful break with our kids, families and friends. Yesterday, we opened all the cards and gifts which we received in peace too. Unbelievable generosity and thoughtfulness….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie to let you know about Tina’s Christmas Day on Hochanda today. We know how popular Tina’s designs always are, so I’m guessing that these brand new Christmas plates will fly today! They are the large A4 square plates, packed with funky and lovely Tina-esque designs. Christmas Baubles Christmas Pressies and Holly Snowman & Robins A4 sq. When are the TV shows? 11am and 3pm. So that means NOW!!! Yikes!! I…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. So that’s how it is… Months of nobody here except Dave and myself. Then a week of everybody here and wonderful craziness. Then, one by one, they all start leaving the nest again. Back to peace and quiet and months of nobody here except Dave and myself. Grace’s fella Mark left yesterday. Had to get back to work. What a charming and lovely young man he is! First time we had met him. Talk…
Hi there. Paul here, I hope you are all well. I’m taking over the blog for the day whilst Barbara & Dave have a family day in London. So it gives me the opportunity to introduce to you, my very first YouTube! You would think that I would be used to being in front of a camera, but filming a YouTube video is very different! So much so, that you will notice I keep repeating the word “so”. Soooooooo for a…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in! Just got back from the most wonderful weekend ever. We had the absolute best time! The sun was shining, our friends and family came together, – and we tied the knot! Signed, sealed and delivered! So it’s official. Dave and I are husband and wife (I shall be keeping my GRAY name though). Didn’t have a phone on me, nor an Ipad – nothing. Just an exquisite hat made by Mandy, and a beautiful…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Well, it’s pretty chaotic here now. About 12 people in the garden having breakfast, so I thought I’d just slope off to my little hidey hole and chat to you before we head off to the Wedding venue. We’re having a little crazy treat for the kids today. More will be revealed… In the meantime, here was I this morning, stamping up the last of the wedding favour bags (last minute.com!!!) Then my knight…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a lovely day we have had! And it ain’t over yet either! First of all, whilst we were having breakfast, who should turn up at the kitchen door but our darling friends Debby and Gill from Texas! Well, you can imagine the delight and excitement at seeing our dear pals after so long! Then Mark and Alex landed from San Francisco – and the party can start!!! So we went for a long…
