A family weekend

 I have Tam and Rosie here for the weekend.  Rosie still allergic to sleep and I was in bed before her last night!  We have promised to take her to the swings today, so hopefully it will stay dry.

I went to the butchers yesterday and got some of their sausages - their special lamb/mint/honey ones which were tasty.  Then lamb burgers for today's meal and bread and scrape the rest of the week!  


Some photos from Friday's walk.





I am hoping to finish the quilt off this evening, with a bit of help of course!  I have one and a half sides left to do.


I've just had a visit from part-time neighbour Sam.  He was telling me of his plans - holiday in Egypt with his Chinese girlfriend, then on to Portugal with his mate, then in December, 3 months in China, living with his girlfriend up in the mountains.  It sounds amazing.  Oh to be young, footloose and fancy free and newly in love again :)  I shall miss him - we've had some good chats.

  1. Lovely views on your walk. We have sunshine today in East Sussex but a stiff breeze blowing off the sea. Bread and scrape, that was something my old Dad used to say. Regards Sue H

  2. Your walk looks lovely in the sunshine and lovely to have a girls weekend. Hopefully all on the mend. I've eaten bread and scrape a few times in the past! As a child, ( a hundred years ago it feels! ), whenever I asked my nan ( born 1900 ) what was for dinner she would always reply " bread and pull it " very frustrating to a child who only really wanted to know if she had to face half a plateful of cabbage with her dinner!

  3. You have a real talent Fiordland framing lovely photos .
    I love the flavour of lamb but it’s very pricey isn’t it?

  4. Beautiful views. Poor Tam must be exhausted if Rosie isn't sleeping well/or not at all. Been there and got the t-shirt! Natalie was a terrible sleeper and so was Iris until she started school. Fortunately Christopher sleeps well, but wakes early. They've just bought his 1st pair of shoes and taken out a second mortgage on them, size 3F. Enjoy your bread and scrape. Xx
