Another busy but productive week!




D day arrived nad it was time to take G &G to Southampton to set sail on a cruise to Portugal and back again. They were excited and nervous. As I write this at the end of the week, they are already back and had an awesome time!!

I did stop off at Lyndhurst for a cuppa and a cream tea - naughty but very nice!

I shouldn't have though as the journey home was slightly longer than anticipated and meant we were rushing to get to Jennie's Confirmation on time. We made it though and it was a lovely service.

We returned for lunch with the Wilson family the next day. I have no photo though, as I was in the pictures!

There has been some time for pebble painting and preparing stuff for Shay's family fun day.




Lots of preparations for our concert in July.
Posters have been prepared and laminated and some are adorning the windows of local shops already.
Tickets are printed and numbered. Let's hope we sell lots and lots and make pots of much-needed money!




While G &G were away and between the showers it was time to try and sort the garden out a bit!


There was some progress before the rain started again.






I couldn't get a photo, but a little robin kept me company that day!


There was a Sunday morning concert, a sunday afternoon tea party and time to do some filming in the park too. Busy but fun! Akl good things will really good people.



We have a new family member - make s a great coffee!!


The 2 Marys and their men came for dinner - fun night!


Damian went away to Bulgaria with uni mates.
Let's hope he has fun and lets his hair down - a weekend of no worry, no work, no computer, just laughing, eating, drinking and relaxing.

Looking forward to picking him up on Monday!! <3



Currently getting breakfast ready for Anja and co then off to Shays fun day!

Where did April go?


In no particular order .........

A visit to Ireland to support my sister and her family.
We had been trying to get a date in the diary, but circumstances predicted something else and so plans were brought forward.
Great to see her happy, so many great friends.Fabulous to watch M playing football and learning to find her way in the world. Growing up  too fast!

Glad to report that all is well :-)


 After Mass, Easter was celebrated at 383 with lots of delicious food, wine and fun and games.
It was a hoot to watch Diny laughing so hard at Doff doing her American impressions.
Kings Ginger should not have been invited to the party!



This is my new yoga corner of the garden - peaceful and sunny!
OM!!


A curry night with my boys!


An asparagus frittata


Made me laugh on my bike ride :-)

I love my new bike!



Manadala paints continue
I love my hobby!!


A couple of photographic exhibitions - a lovely way to spend a morning!

Inspiring - making us look at the world in a different way.




This was not a great start to the day!
Scales and exploding eggs - gggrrrrrr


Pebble painting and hiding continues, with extra being painted for Shays fundraising sale.
Literally not enough hours in a day!



800 followers in Instagram!!

There was a big party in Manchester!

Lots of fun
Lots of music
lots of dancing
Lots of laughter
Lots of glitter!

We stayed at a simple but clean hotel near the airport, not the brothel that I booked!!






Next project is our concert in July!!

Fundraising continues - and always will while there is a need.




Redemption - no money!

Thank you Kate for rescuing me :-)


Simon liked his presents :-)

Now to prepare his song -  what larks!
