Holiday at Caister June 2012

Amy and Eloise at Caister Norfolk on a long weekend to celebrate her 31st Birthday (Amy) that is!  Eloise on the other hand is a mere 2 and a half years old. and enjoying the sunshine and seaside

Little miss wriggly

Eloise and me on Jublilee Day, we were going to celebrate by attending the street party in town, we had red/white and blue boa for her to wear and a little flower for her hair in the same colour, but true to british weather, it rained, all day long, it was cold and windy too, so we gave it a miss and watched it on TV instead. we were disappointed but we had fun anyway, we had a lovely weekend and little miss non-stop 90mile per hour was as wonderful, funny and adorable as always.

Our walk in the park

Another beautiful day here in Northamptonshire. Our walk in the park today included Jaz's trot along the stream, I'm sure she was loving the cool water on her hot little feet.

Cuckoo Pint

We, my little dog and I were on our daily walk in the local woodland park, when I came across this plant, I'd never seen it before and was intrigued to know what it was.  I sent a picture of it to the 'Woodland Trust' who kindly sent me a reply really quickly. Apparently it is commonly known as the Cuckoo pint. It also has several other names given to it over the years some of which are mentioned in their website (above link) . It seems to grow in the shade of the bigger trees and in soil rich with leaf mold.

After I gained all this information, on our walk today (a day later) I saw not one but about a dozen of them !!  Obviously I hadn't noticed them before. But I still think they're an unusual plant, and so I am told, they bear bright red/orange berries in the autumn which are poisonous.

See what you can gain from being retired? LOL!! I love it, just walking aimlessly through the woods with the dog, or wandering downtown mooching around the shops buying little bits and pieces, nothing gives me more pleasure.!

A Weekend at Nanny Glitter's House

Me, My granddaughter Eloise and her Mummy Amy, on a visit in April 2012, Eloise loves to paint in my craft room, she was having a blast, was in there for hours, it was as much as we could do to get her out of there. Doggy pee pads are a godsend for a quick clean up and for protecting the worktop.
