I'm hopefully back now.
Im using a laptop at the moment,and these old fingers of mine are finding it difficult.
My main computer, my faithful old friend, as been out of action for most of that time,and although it as been given a new lease of life a few weeks ago..its still having a rough time trying to get going properly...so hence until its 100% sorted out..ill just have to try doing my blog with this contraption..the keys are so close together, and my old hands are getting clumsy, i keep hitting two together and spend most of the time correcting my mistakes...you'll soon get used to it, is what i've been told for the past several months !!
I will get into doing my blog again as i have missed it, IF anyone gets to read this,please drop me a quick comment please,that will make me feel as if its all worthwhile.
My wrist is sore and my fingers are going stiff so ill stop for now...but im going to read some of the blogs of my old friends now..that's something else i've missed these past months.

The cats hate it as well..only Moses ventures out for more than a few minutes..the rest just stay inside.<br />I am looking at the garden thinking i really must get all the dead debris and old leaves removed from the plants it would look better if i did that,but these old bones have other idea's at the moment...Doc's Surgery just rang i have to go in next week about my diabetes..will ask if i can have some stronger pain killers, then maybe ill be able to tackle it...Oh well must stop moaning..it doesn't really help, and i KNOW there are so many worse off, My lovely Ness & dear Kerry for starters...im sure they cant wait for the warmer weather as well we all feel better with some sunshine..going to get myself a cuppa...BYEJoy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-46551317446168803232011-02-02T23:28:00.003+00:002011-02-02T23:38:21.679+00:00As it really been over 7 months ??As it really been over 7 months since i last wrote on my blog ??...apparently it has.<br />So much as happened in that time, some of it good, some quite bad.<br />I really must start blogging again..i used to really enjoy both writing my own, and reading the blogs of others (friends mostly)<br />Reading a few of them today, i realise just how much i have missed them..so i am going to start blogging again, and will sort out some pictures as well.<br />Just wanted to put this on to make a start...<br />So watch this space..it probably wont be literary brilliance..( no Probably about it, it won't be..lol)..but i'll make an effort and fill you in on my life these past months...it may be therapeutic for me to start to write again anyway.<br />I'm going to bed now..must get some sleep..then tomorrow..put my thinking cap on.<br />Night night, to anyone who passes through.Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-9110299374921672412010-05-17T18:04:00.004+01:002010-05-17T18:41:50.505+01:00A Mosque on the 9/11 site !!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgQpUEhKXZPSBJZ1CXw8BmHIMyCyyeEwOC-8hJ8B21UezdGoLfhzMxy0y2dBkMY_FmguW_XTnwvhD72-vB7M6ehbCKUmg5Z86YZ9N5XVuC51LZLw1D0T0BXoOOwV-y9VRlZB3S/s1600/Ground+Zero+at+the+time.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgQpUEhKXZPSBJZ1CXw8BmHIMyCyyeEwOC-8hJ8B21UezdGoLfhzMxy0y2dBkMY_FmguW_XTnwvhD72-vB7M6ehbCKUmg5Z86YZ9N5XVuC51LZLw1D0T0BXoOOwV-y9VRlZB3S/s320/Ground+Zero+at+the+time.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472286265098019682" /></a><br />I can not believe that they are even thinking of building a Mosque on the site of the 9/11 terrorist attack.!! and planning to start work on the SAME day as it happened!!!!To me that is unthinkable. I am not prejudiced neither am i rascist or against Islam in anyway, but WHY there !!!..New York is a HUGE city, to choose a spot where thousands lost there lives is unbelievable me. What about the relatives of all the innocent people who lost their lives on that terrible day. It is just an insult to them..more importantly who on earth agreed to such a thing? I am sure some Muslims lost loved ones there as well,and i imagine they will feel exactly the same!! Leave that place as it is, where people can go to quietly reflect & remember...To build a Mosque,there is so very insensitive and i imagine would do New York no good whatsoever. It as already caused a lot of upset over here..many saying it is Evil and totally unnecessary. This is not been rascist,everyone knows that it was of course a very small minority of terrorists who attacked the Twin Towers that terrible day, and of course they are not reflective of Islam in general, but surely the very fact that it happened at all is enough to NOT want a Mosque built on the site..Please,Please leave that site as it is..build nothing there, least of all a Mosque..that is too inflammatory. Go ahead and Build a Mosque in New York, it is after all just a place of Worship, but never,never on the site of ground Zero.Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-4559682378738001462010-05-08T19:51:00.002+01:002010-05-08T19:54:52.303+01:00My Cockerel Clock.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoHihbuwpu5-rpQMWE31IymcSSTv_nyqCr38mi9NNCPdJsLv23WDJLPWkIHyIPhLz6EkC-LYaoUh3ZsOQ4rCKaPx13JDbgOU0E1zE7VJS4LpwyVPVCLN01d3qVHNXGe9p0tAGk/s1600/Cockeral+Clock.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoHihbuwpu5-rpQMWE31IymcSSTv_nyqCr38mi9NNCPdJsLv23WDJLPWkIHyIPhLz6EkC-LYaoUh3ZsOQ4rCKaPx13JDbgOU0E1zE7VJS4LpwyVPVCLN01d3qVHNXGe9p0tAGk/s320/Cockeral+Clock.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468973931952045490" /></a><br />Here is a picture of my Cockerel Clock for Kerry, as i know she likes Chickens etc. I am going to put it up in my shed (once i have renewed its batteries)..then i can see it when i am having a cup of tea up there (or a Glass of Wine)..LoLJoy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-55458451719199861722010-04-28T11:59:00.004+01:002010-04-28T12:06:17.887+01:00I've heard of Chicken in the Basket !!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7OpK5jnxvfoQd66KMQ_5u6otWwfJtkJ5dZKSIOjv_VymVXYTlctA6M94Ko_6wvYGlHyaRHmJhyE6-5aeEyPCGoKlSC_brp9l08UeUGPNUMg_tJR_tR1zrUCIIduW0e_G_0-x/s1600/Bailey+in+toy+basket..jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7OpK5jnxvfoQd66KMQ_5u6otWwfJtkJ5dZKSIOjv_VymVXYTlctA6M94Ko_6wvYGlHyaRHmJhyE6-5aeEyPCGoKlSC_brp9l08UeUGPNUMg_tJR_tR1zrUCIIduW0e_G_0-x/s320/Bailey+in+toy+basket..jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465141635234317618" /></a><br />Bailey seems to love to lie in this basket of Soft toys, he'll sleep here for hours..or until one of the little ones desides they wants to play with them..then he is off like lightening, i dont think he fancies been picked up and wrapped in a blanket, pushed around in a dolls pram, or fed artificial milk from a toy bottle !!Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-26483267557517898262010-04-28T11:54:00.002+01:002010-04-28T11:58:01.452+01:00Prevous Post RemovedI removed my prevous Post, thank you to the kind folk who commented, i am going to keep my Doctors appointment next week..but must pull myself together..i am going out in a few minutes will Blog on the day later.Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-31049104770812479982010-04-25T19:19:00.005+01:002010-04-25T19:31:26.031+01:00My Rooster<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0mUBVYrGUbk9PyEPEsLO57OhAgCLts0h5X_O5tjzh7H9Rk-T_wq2dczeRMM7lhnnhNzMTpC9870Ve6-k61GXYwqV0eGVuhpqg_Axm43dnPsogMzz0TT233Wv9L_tGyem1Ryuy/s1600/My+rooster.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0mUBVYrGUbk9PyEPEsLO57OhAgCLts0h5X_O5tjzh7H9Rk-T_wq2dczeRMM7lhnnhNzMTpC9870Ve6-k61GXYwqV0eGVuhpqg_Axm43dnPsogMzz0TT233Wv9L_tGyem1Ryuy/s320/My+rooster.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464141821014540434" /></a><br />This is just a pic of my 'Door Stop Rooster'.

Jacey sleeps in it each night. <br />Mo resembles a minature Black Panther now he is growing up, his face as a similar shape, his tail is also very long...and his walk is panther like as well..but thats where the similarity ends..Momo is a gentle cat and very friendly.Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-42071398218415674332010-04-15T21:44:00.004+01:002010-04-15T21:54:26.110+01:00more pics of Simba the Maine Coon<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkvDeJbDTu0ECkuBYaKjv63J5hz9k2zeIv-3LBF37FeuKnsBiy4J2mu8bGDJLuWbyl7dCqB3B6wNeobovFpUK4HwS-PYpuwwp1H1FYjTIhlH3_CbAC8sD6CRx4hDkGEC1B37rZ/s1600/Simba+with+drink+can.bmp"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkvDeJbDTu0ECkuBYaKjv63J5hz9k2zeIv-3LBF37FeuKnsBiy4J2mu8bGDJLuWbyl7dCqB3B6wNeobovFpUK4HwS-PYpuwwp1H1FYjTIhlH3_CbAC8sD6CRx4hDkGEC1B37rZ/s320/Simba+with+drink+can.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460468361181173570" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4DNve2qZ6_jkOn9Db8nJJSiYfK-Nhb6zt3eoi21K2stILCUMeht6lYMxDH_eHvfiIrytGOapIbdmdi3LsPxiMiVl7OVUF6R-rtRM8MzvpYygETwVqOWjUuQwDHfdgP5uO5PhS/s1600/SIMBA.bmp"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4DNve2qZ6_jkOn9Db8nJJSiYfK-Nhb6zt3eoi21K2stILCUMeht6lYMxDH_eHvfiIrytGOapIbdmdi3LsPxiMiVl7OVUF6R-rtRM8MzvpYygETwVqOWjUuQwDHfdgP5uO5PhS/s320/SIMBA.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460468359051264498" /></a><br />Thought i'd put another couple of pics of Simba on my blog,(Please see the one below)..he really is a very big boy for his age..and already weighs as much as a fully grown normal cat...but he is such a character..and very 'different' looking isn't he..i can see why they called him Simba..its his ears that make me laugh...and his personality, Ness says he is ugly ( that is cruel)..i just think he's different..but lovely...what do you think ??Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-78887532418868324112010-04-15T21:29:00.002+01:002010-04-15T21:41:00.680+01:00I just HAD to put this one on !!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwpnjfOqc8hHJRg2CpItkuGgm5bW_rsz7wLiEOrVpDiGrqGrepnMcTqWCklLifSBlKnwUywuLM6jK34TYH_O0ulFwOPW-DM47UnWjsBXGWKLnFAfzwgzEPi441IuFieyusTAJE/s1600/Very+funny+simba+pic.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwpnjfOqc8hHJRg2CpItkuGgm5bW_rsz7wLiEOrVpDiGrqGrepnMcTqWCklLifSBlKnwUywuLM6jK34TYH_O0ulFwOPW-DM47UnWjsBXGWKLnFAfzwgzEPi441IuFieyusTAJE/s320/Very+funny+simba+pic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460464435614346658" /></a><br />I had to put this picture on as i think it is SO funny..this is Simba..he is Adam & Nessa's..youngest cat,he is only 5 months old..but already HUGE.

I have wanted one for a long time..i'll hang it in my bedroom...The other picture was a Sewerage (dirty water) treatment plant in Llangollen..we are looking at it from the top of the Aquaduct..just think all the sewerage from the area goes into this and is then purified and comes out the other end..travels a short distance down the valley..into the river..then a little further down it is scooped up again and is taken to a Clean water treament works..from there it is completely purified and comes back out in huge pipes and is then pumped to all the homes in the area..pure clean water....i hope i'm not waffling here..but i learned all this from a friend of mine who worked in the Industry for 50 years and used to love to talk about it..i suppose its something i would never really give a second thought to...but it does make you think when you look at a simple plant like this one here..that the water/sewage is almost black when it goes in..and totally PURE when filtration is complete...HHHHmmm perhaps its better NOT to think about it...must go and get myself a BOTTLE of water..think i'll give the tap a miss tonught..LoL.Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-46458502410904223312010-04-10T20:39:00.004+01:002010-04-10T20:56:57.697+01:00More Wales Pictures.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj99lF0dFI0qP4qnDfXxeYZ3JGrbTZHgltCRtLmqtOnUPop4BhnkAuHINDlobNCap93n42vmwjnC7JRV01Q-bJbJVVgis75XjXJ3RZSmL89PMxPNYQXQs-QJE7Wu26ytEU_pBln/s1600/LangollenLes.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj99lF0dFI0qP4qnDfXxeYZ3JGrbTZHgltCRtLmqtOnUPop4BhnkAuHINDlobNCap93n42vmwjnC7JRV01Q-bJbJVVgis75XjXJ3RZSmL89PMxPNYQXQs-QJE7Wu26ytEU_pBln/s320/LangollenLes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458597368595760178" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZwnlbzPMT5yukVepr3R-1NUA3QNBVDD2vszeyg4n8BmRtgJK16O5310n5OTcXfbxkonHzZjQ89m1xAABEInbeX5q6Pb1YwrjEnZh0LxhsUyOZ3a-4dbG0NJ13h_v-CPBZvoi4/s1600/langollen+Station.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZwnlbzPMT5yukVepr3R-1NUA3QNBVDD2vszeyg4n8BmRtgJK16O5310n5OTcXfbxkonHzZjQ89m1xAABEInbeX5q6Pb1YwrjEnZh0LxhsUyOZ3a-4dbG0NJ13h_v-CPBZvoi4/s320/langollen+Station.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458597362209603490" /></a><br />This is the railway station that was over the river, from the restaurant. It was lovely to watch the steam train come in while we were eating outside..i LOVE steam, even the smell brings back so many happy memories of when i was a child, and Mom used to take me to visit my aunty on the big old steam trains in The Stations in Birmingham...the other picture is Les..looking very windblown..we were up on the Aquaduct and the sign there tells us that it was built by Thomas Telford and was completed in 1805, after 10 years under construction !!..It amazes me how they must have been able to build these Huge structures so many years ago..they hadn't got the machinery we have today..and the Gorge that it runs across is so deep...i had to hold onto the rails as we walked across..i'm really not very good with heights..but i so wanted to see the wonderful scenery below..the Pictures dont do it justice though..it is much better to actually be there..a wonderful day out...more pics tomorrowJoy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-34002209983555435302010-04-09T11:17:00.006+01:002010-04-09T12:00:14.049+01:00Day Out in Wales<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJiYrYhLiEW06HBEm8lYw_MGadBax_LLzD-6P8X7Ps5lHD2zvYOcMtZA-KT8ktAJ4zg64HE1lkjoBRwNDJhC_hjYWf_e9Tdhpm_aZCF2nls1U3A1Tg6CapS0Vxu4z6XteSG_eQ/s1600/Langollen+1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJiYrYhLiEW06HBEm8lYw_MGadBax_LLzD-6P8X7Ps5lHD2zvYOcMtZA-KT8ktAJ4zg64HE1lkjoBRwNDJhC_hjYWf_e9Tdhpm_aZCF2nls1U3A1Tg6CapS0Vxu4z6XteSG_eQ/s320/Langollen+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458082098422063906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqS2bRLZQHgXdKYfMx19fIXUBt2bh2xXYSaX0FK7HdN2hpxpkgmJoPHIjHme-bFDws1x1lDiP6FWEE5ZsMAlQUmzf33EHvtnVMZ38td7LfJT6L8-S5nfzfxF53W9wNYKDfcFZk/s1600/Langollen.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqS2bRLZQHgXdKYfMx19fIXUBt2bh2xXYSaX0FK7HdN2hpxpkgmJoPHIjHme-bFDws1x1lDiP6FWEE5ZsMAlQUmzf33EHvtnVMZ38td7LfJT6L8-S5nfzfxF53W9wNYKDfcFZk/s320/Langollen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458082095898830034" /></a><br />My friend Leslie, who lives in Germany is over in the U.K. for a few days visiting her Dad & friends. We had a lovely day out in Wales yesterday, went to Llangollen, where she was born, and lived for many years of her life. Leslie wanted to get a new Kayak..as she goes kayaking all over the World and they have a special Sports shop there that sells them, along with all the clothing that you need as well, wet suits etc. <br />Then we went to the Aquaducts..(will put some pics of those in the next post)..These 2 pics are of the whitewater repids...we had lunch in that old building that runs along the side of them..its a lovely restaurant and there are outside gardens to eat in the warm weather,(although you cant see them from this angle)....It was packed yesterday as it WAS a lovely warm day in Wales..so we had dinner overlooking the river...Leslie as kayaked down these rapids...but she said they are not as strong as some in other parts of the World..on the opposite side of the river was the railway station..it was like stepping back in time, as most of the trains where the old Steam trains..i loved them..we watched those as we ate our meal as well.I came home feeling so much better than i have lately..its amazing what just getting out in the sunshine and fresh air can do...it was colder back home though, even though its less than two hours away, although probably its because it was fairly late when we got back...cant wait to go again when the trees and flowers are out, its even nicer then. At least the rain as stopped now..,am going to hopefully get into the garden today.Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-34015886930110285812010-04-06T18:23:00.004+01:002010-04-06T18:56:12.609+01:00Some Spring Colour at Last.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtx3UPwxTHWV9eL-qHSFitQNmzv3q23Y1IKpKgsnYAnlN2OS2XIrFoc0TvFeRGMaWJYoXDLXvqZArZkmq9d_ZoastBpAuJpEwq_0x3w-GW1eVexMY16ivcITXte-KHBLWWiXax/s1600/early+spring+2010.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078933639485234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtx3UPwxTHWV9eL-qHSFitQNmzv3q23Y1IKpKgsnYAnlN2OS2XIrFoc0TvFeRGMaWJYoXDLXvqZArZkmq9d_ZoastBpAuJpEwq_0x3w-GW1eVexMY16ivcITXte-KHBLWWiXax/s320/early+spring+2010.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaD03VLPUVyUOnurqm46ftx_uv54ECuwn2YXDEAKwFsb4SV3ezSmmn7z-lq_J_tiA4azBiHh0F9CUzbyPRMCC9k-SjYBOiPKOaMeEEciDXJPdU8Mo3v6J7n-JFenGbqPyPVz-o/s1600/laburnum.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457076968203999458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaD03VLPUVyUOnurqm46ftx_uv54ECuwn2YXDEAKwFsb4SV3ezSmmn7z-lq_J_tiA4azBiHh0F9CUzbyPRMCC9k-SjYBOiPKOaMeEEciDXJPdU8Mo3v6J7n-JFenGbqPyPVz-o/s320/laburnum.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Spring at long last !!...i have been whining about how depressing my garden is for the last couple of weeks ( with just a couple of colourful blooms but NO bright yellows, that always say spring to me) :)......I dont know if its a combination of all the rain and then some recent sunshine..but my Forsythia as obliged by giving some much needed bright colour, and i now also have a FEW mini Daffodils and Polyanthus etc showing off their pretty faces (more to come hopefully)..so i feel as if my garden is at last waking up !!...I love it when all the, blues come out along with the yellows.... The Aquilegia's (grannies Bonnets) and Campanula's..and now my Dicentra (bleeding heart) have started poking their little heads through as well..hopefully in the next few weeks my small garden will have awoke from its Winter slumber....Spring is my favourite Season, I like it better than Summer, early Summer is nice, but when it gets too hot and we need to get the hose pipes out, i sometimes find it very tiring...but Spring is a sign of 'New Life' and i always start to feel a little better about things at this time....does that make me fickle ??..i hope not..but i do have to admit to been a bit on the 'grumpy' side when the weather is cold & grey..especially after we have had a long winter that seemed to drag on....The weather forcast for the next week ahead seems very good too...apparently it will be very warm on Thursday & that will herald a brighter season hopefully..cant wait !!</div></div>Joy Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028725246425710253noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26239587.post-69129355433632463272010-04-04T17:23:00.003+01:002010-04-04T17:35:31.598+01:00Happy Easter<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSsrPep2fIa-6pa2JFVPU_EctXrNL2mtfsEKch-KZuFskMINymkexfIryYV28ZDk50YhcfF7j-YhZ4xUaWuinfnxxXX4DGhVJvF12qz4qP7oUK2VXfDO0oD3pHqESU28UA_KZg/s1600/Easter+eggs.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 143px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 107px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456321616818873234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSsrPep2fIa-6pa2JFVPU_EctXrNL2mtfsEKch-KZuFskMINymkexfIryYV28ZDk50YhcfF7j-YhZ4xUaWuinfnxxXX4DGhVJvF12qz4qP7oUK2VXfDO0oD3pHqESU28UA_KZg/s320/Easter+eggs.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfMFXCURo1GV2gyuSsHhrqKo84AwavNNYJkX9k7nj3XogddL_aQtG5Wrv7Iy4LVGE3-ohNOGaMkvvK8X8X6tWzb-rM85znlhlDscfxnKnLl-PMO1u0VcNEGrst6lU0JBK1VPA/s1600/Jesus+on+cross.gif"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 314px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456320357646325378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfMFXCURo1GV2gyuSsHhrqKo84AwavNNYJkX9k7nj3XogddL_aQtG5Wrv7Iy4LVGE3-ohNOGaMkvvK8X8X6tWzb-rM85znlhlDscfxnKnLl-PMO1u0VcNEGrst6lU0JBK1VPA/s320/Jesus+on+cross.gif" /></a><br /><br /><div>Happy Easter to anyone who stumbles upon my blog today..i hope you have a peaceful and happy Day.</div><div> </div><div>And if you love chocolate..i hope you have lots of eggs or chocolate bunnies...but i will remember the real reason we celebrate this day as well.</div><br /><div></div><div>Its lovely and sunny today..a real spring day at long last...i just hope it lasts, i feel so much better when the sun is shining..My daughter reckons i suffer from that illness S.A.D.
