Me on Monday

Enjoying a stroll by the sea and recovering from a nasty fall out jogging. It’s dangerous trying to keep fit!

Hi to Sian and everyone else dropping by this week, looks like it’s going to be a hot one.

a couple of snaps

I've finally had time to think about Rinda's scavenger hunt so here are a couple of shots from the list.

1. A bouquet of flowers

3. A person walking a dog (or other animal)

This is such a fun thing to do over the summer so if you fancy joining in then do go over to http://gallorganico.blogspot.co.uk/ and join in.

Me on Monday

Today I am recovering from a busy but lovely week with my mum and smiling over the photos I took

 Mum was 92yrs old last week and came to us for a "little bit of sea air"

 Always happy to pose for her picture, I was able to snap away as she opened her presents.

 One of her favourites was a little dvd capturing some old cine film from years ago. Here she is at my sister's wedding with her three brothers and sister, her youngest brother died at 10yrs old having fallen from a cliff trying to get his football. Mum is now the only one left from her large family.

We had got a wheelchair for the week so were able to get out quite a bit. There were lots of walks by the sea followed of course by a little sit down with a coffee.

I'm very fortunate to still have mum around and apart from short term memory loss she is in good health. She always likes to tell us stories of her youth, she certainly led a much more exciting life than me. I do think it's important to record those stories while mum is still with us.

Joining in with Sian again and hoping you all have a good week x

Me on Monday

Enjoying sitting in the garden finishing a good book, The Martian by Andy Weir.

It's been a good weekend, enjoying a French Market in Sandwich

and taking in the beauty of an old church. I hope your weekend was as enjoyable.

Summer is here

I'm always pleased when June arrives and Rinda posts her Summertime Photography  Scavenger Hunt challenge. I've done this for a few years now and really enjoy it.

Julie has very kindly made this list for us to use which shows what an interesting challenge it is this year.

Me on Monday

Me on Monday in desperate need of a haircut. There has been a lot of knitting and reading over the weekend as the weather has been awful. My socks are coming on slowly and already I've started to think about what I will do next, another blanket I think.

It was a different story last Wednesday when the sun shone and everyone was enjoying the beach. We've been promised a good June so here's hoping they are right!

Joining in again with Sian   and wishing you all a good week.
