OK, so I went back to Swansea to visit family. This is what I ended up sorting out over the weekend - it's fairly self explanatory!!! Notice the yellow sweet bag on the floor - they even took the jelly babies and mints from the drivers door!!! AutoGlass couldn't replace the window on Saturday and I had to take it to them on Sunday. This is what happened on the way to AutoGlass..... Dad to the rescue!! So thanks to those guys that gave me an expensive weekend - you did leave some nice fingerprints though so I hope this weekend comes back to haunt you!!1422 days ago
OK, So i've not added anything to my page since I went to North Wales back in November!! I did survive and I did come back!! Was a great holiday, got to the summit of Snowdon but it was cold and wet, actually it was Bloody Freeeezing!! After we packed up our picnic and descended a little though it was a spectacular clear view! For those who've been we went up the Miner's track and came down to Llanberis via the railway track. We returned to our massive rented house and enjoyed a lovely sauna! What a birthday!! I will add some pics when I found the disc.....!

Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions Author Unknown When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard. My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on. When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away. My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back. When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen. My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own. When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk. My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing. When I pray, ...1499 days ago
OK, I'll miss out this weekend as it's not particularly exciting. I worked yesterday then went to see Annie the Musical which was OK. Today I have had a VERY lazy day. One of those days you spend all day in PJs! BUT next weekend I am so excited about! Like a kid in a sweet shop! I am going to North Wales for a week! I love the mountains and am looking forward to going up Snowdon with my mates, some of whom have never been so they excited too! It might rain (probably) and be cold (probably) but when you're wrapped up nice and warm it's very refreshing being out in the fresh air. Then to come back to a warm house, or pub!, with real fire and bottle of red wine...... Sorry, I'm getting carried away! We're there for Halloween then it's my birthday! Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me...! So hopefully I'll have lots of pics and things to write about when I get back! ...1499 days ago
OK, so still trying to catch up with me blogs - last weekend I went on a walk around Riverford organic farm. Didn't see as many crops as last time I went though. Still managed to pick lettuce, celery, fennel, cherry tomatoes, chillies, raspberries, blackberries. um, think that's it!! Here's a pic of me with my goodies! Then we went for a meal in their 'Garden Kitchen'! Was very nice! Pretty informal as everyone sat together then food was dished out in serving bowls to pass around. The food was a bit posh but was very yummy and plenty of it! Felt very wholesome as all food was organic even though we'd eaten loads of it!! Then went to their farm shop and I bought some sausages with sundried tomatoes and also steak! That's a big thing for me as I used to be a veggie for quite a while. Anyway, managed to cook the steak to perfection probably by some fluke but my guinea pig, I mean friend was suitably impressed!
