Belated Easter Greetings

 Ooooo hasn't the weather been smashing?

(Twiglet surveying the new lottie - above).

  

We've had a lovely Easter and I hope you have too.  

We've spent a lot of time with family and friends which was lovely, eating, playing, drinking, eating chocolate, gardening, eating chocolate, visiting, eating chocolate, you get the picture.

Twiglet's little cuz was up for the weekend so they had a fabby time, we went out for a lovely lunch on Friday, thanks Grandad Twigs.  Spent Sunday round at Nana and Grandad's while the children played very nicely together for 9, I repeat 9 hours, occasionally coming in for drinks, ice creams or to round up the grown ups to play tig or jump through the lawn sprinkler - and we did :)

We had a nice restful day at my Mums today after visiting friends this morning, so although we are tired, we are happy.

Mr Twigs is off for a week and a half now, so we're hoping to get out and about and do some more work up on the new lottie.

Have a super week.

The slacker returns.................

Thank you for your get well wishes after 2 and a half long weeks I'm finally bug free and it's the Easter hols hooray!!!

We are sooooooooo looking forward to some time off, Friday was manic in school, we had a big Easter Service/fundraiser, so along with my month end stuff, I had to count a LOT of money!!  

We managed to raise nearly £400 - pretty good for such a tiny school.

Twiglet and I have been quite productive considering the lurgy and being busy.

I'll have to show you next time as Mr Twigs has my photos on his PC and it's a bit poorly at the moment.

Great news, we finally got our new allotment on Saturday and spent most of Saturday and Sunday up there, here's a few pics from my camera.

I have the nettle stings, backache and sunburn to prove it, but it is SO good to be back in the saddle again.

Hopefully I'll have a bit more time to blog now we have a couple of weeks off school, that's the intention anyway.

Have a great week.

Bleurgh........

Sickness stops blogging.  

I've not had any time off work but have felt very dodgy for the last 2 weeks. 

Had a yucky, sicky, tired, poorly tum type bug.

Will be back later.

Old haunts.............

Do you have special places that bring back happy memories?  

I bet you do.  

This is one of ours, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal in North Yorkshire, so beautiful.

We used to spend loads of time up here many moons ago as Mr Twigs uncle used to live very nearby in a lovely little cottage.  

He was a very talented artist and did a lot of design work for Athena (remember them?), Marks and Sparks and many other companies.  

We spent such a lot of time in his little house, laughing, drinking and being silly. 

Sadly he died the year before Twiglet was born, but we have a lot of happy memories.  

Twiglet has never been here before and he loved it, so come and take a little walk with us.  

Hope you enjoy it, it really was a beautiful, sunny, warm day.  

We saw lots of little new born lambs and daffodils.  

A perfect day to enjoy the perfect place.

 Fab playground !!

 Amazing vaulted ceilings.

 My very favourite spot, the beautiful Moon Pond.

 We call this Zen Valley :)

 You can't beat a good tree trunk !!

If you are ever up in North Yorkshire, do visit.  

Here's a link

You won't be disappointed and did I mention that it has a fantastic cafe, with tiptop cakes!!!
