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?

Hi Jayne,
Good to see you up and about again. We've missed you.

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.
