What a busy day it's been.....

This morning flossdog got woken by Craig using the new strimmer out on The Triangle and then woke me ( Read more... )

That makes a change......
I've just walked out into the back garden and it is sunny!!!

Good timing for the weather really as tabatha_yeddap is on her way back from Turkia where it has been hot, hot and more hot. The last thing she needs is to be met by cold and wet weather. Although after the temperatures she has been treated to anything this country has to ( Read more... )
