Can you believe it???

(I've popped on some photos of a walk we took down the lane before the rains came - the hedgerows are full to bursting with blossom at the moment and our lottie has gone barmy - must be all the rain).

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY ..........

Our lovely boy was 9 recently!!  

9  I tell you!!  where has the time gone?

 (please ignore loo in background).

Anyway many happy returns to the gorgeous one.

We had a really lovely day at Lightwater Valley with one of his pals, thankfully before all this grotty rain arrived, it was glorious and we were there for 7 hours.  

It was great and so quiet we went on several rides 3 times!! (I didn't go on the big ones as I am a total wuss).

So here we are at a very soggy half term, we visited Magna for the first time on Sunday with Twiglet's little cuz, once we'd negotiated the flooded roads and rerouted through Rotherham - top fun.  

I will have to put some photos on here once Mr Twigs has loaded them up.

Went here for dinner on Sunday night, very nice it was too.

Old Twiggy doesn't go out that much but I even went out (whispers) on my own with the ladies from work last Friday for a retirement do - crikey, whatever next.

We spent the last dry day here on Bank Holiday Monday weeding the lottie, glad we did too as it's tipped down ever since.

Twiglet and I have spent the rest of our time so far, watching films, playing on the Wii, he tried to explain the complexities of Minecraft to me but as I'm not a 9  year old boy, I just don't get it ;)

We made cookies and hob nobs yesterday, it's lovely to have a bit of Mum and Twiglet time.

Last night saw Mr Twigs and I attending the opening of the Doncaster Literary Festival opened by Stephen Booth, what a lovely evening we had and what a thoroughly interesting and nice fella.  Like many of his fans I chat with him on Facebook so it was nice to meet in the real world so  to speak, and assure him I'm not a stalker - lol!!

I'm cracking on with the cross stitch - see photographic evidence, but still have a long way to go.  

I must admit I'm wasting far too much time online faffing about rather than doing stuff, must try harder.

On that note I feel I've neglected my blog but find myself using Facebook as I suppose it's quicker to use.  I don't seem to get many comments on my blog these days so I suppose really I keep it going as a kind of journal about Twiglet's childhood as I do enjoy looking back as what we've done.

Would you believe this is my 400th post!! what a gasbag.

I think I might well have a giveaway, watch this space.

I'm now going to try to figure out how to put a link to my Facebook page so  do feel free to come over and say Hello and tell me to stop wasting time playing on line games.

Have a good half term folks

Twiggy x
