A day in the life.......


Now I must admit to feeling rather guilty about my poor blog. I've been dreadfully neglectful this past month! Time seems to fly by regardless, so here I am again - apologising to my readers for my lack of attention. Sorry :)

Life has become more complicated lately with the girl child's 'O' level exams upon us and a timetable designed by some mad person in Cambridge! I spend all my days running up and down between the house and the school with little respite. It had better be worth it - all As or nothing is my motto! LOL We did the art exam last month (see picture of one final piece inserted!). I am very proud of her work - sadly they don't get them returned to deepest, darkest Africa so a photo is all I get to keep. Oh well only three more weeks to go and we are FREE - halleluya!

I am planning our annual trip to civilisation! This is the highlight of the year and takes up a considerable amount of internet surfing time. The girl child has demanded a respite from Milton Keynes and is off to Rome with a few mates for a week. Hubby and I are thinking of a trip to Scotland to do a spot of Nessie spotting! All still in the planning stages but should be fun I think.

Winter is sneaking up on us at last! Positively chilly this morning, even the dogs didn't want to get up. The garden is looking lovely in its 'in-between' stage. After the rain and before the cold. I've been inspired to plant some petunias - the ginger cat immediately 'unplanted' them for me! So I planted them again :) And I am thinking 'water feature' again this year! Maybe! There are lots of birds in the garden making use of the bird bath - lovely to sit on the verandah and watch them twittering about.

So life is good!

Coffee anyone?

And it's good to be back! Life has just been a bit hectic lately but I shall make more effort to keep the blog up to date. Seems so much else to do at the moment :)

Hi Jayne,

It's the same here. That time of the year I guess.
