Belated's

As I look back at my postings I realise a few things were missing, the biggest belated was to wish Kate and William a happy marriage, being a Brit I was most surprised to see I had forgotten such well wishes to the happy couple :


HRH Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge

 capturing more 'blooming lovelies' here are a few more from my garden:

Lillies and Poppies I love them ! The colours are so vibrant and pretty .

I have continued the flower theme at the front by planting two climbing roses, pictures to follow !

Weekend again

why why why does weekend go so quickly? and did i mention it always seems to rain on my days off.

I miss having 5 days off together, now i work five together and just get the two off, i don't have any me time how depressing, anyway i was determined not to spend Saturday in bed !

i was up with the lark, busy busy, off i went to the recycle bank and in returned got $10.20 for my 'empties' in the savings it went.

i treated myself to a caramel latte and chocolate chip muffin whilst waiting for Costco to open then got impatient and spent 2 hours in home sense, i just love that shop.

i bought some nice pics and a large mirror, yet more towels. I saw a couple of cute lamps may have to go back for them tomorrow :)

spent the afternoon preparing dinner and cleaning the man cave! enuf said.

hope its not raining tomorrow i have an urge to be gardening.

wonderful day

Mothers day in canada was beautiful, i called MY mum in the UK we giggled like little children, updating her about the last few months comings and goings in mine and my hubbys lives and boy its been busy!

went to rolly lake with hubby, tom and the dogs although they were leashed all the way around as its camping season, but a wonderful morning.

Hubby bought me flowers and a card- which was from the dogs, himself and step-son for mothers day... such a nice surprise ! then he made a breakfast lunch in good english style, bacon, eggs, beans, sausage, mushrooms, toast, tomatoes, orange juice and coffee...... it took everything in me to eat it hahahahha.

spent the afternoon planting my climbing rose bushes on the front porch, then watched Mrs.Doubtfire...i just love that film.

ready to go to sleep now, back to the grind stone in the morning !

Hope you mums had a wonderful day today

Happy Mother's Day

This is me and my mum on my wedding day, she is the best mother i could have hoped for, my best friend, guide in life and my confident.

I LOVE YOU MUM ! xxx

the gardening bug

Well after a wonderful lie in until 11.30 .. well i was up at 7 am doing the dog feeding and peeing/pooping at 7am! i decided to do some garden work, which started of with mowing the back lawn...this suddenly escalated into preparing the tortoises outdoor space... there i was with my gardening boots on, spade at the ready...started to dig...what is this i say to myself?

the whole space which was suppose to be lined with wire mesh then Doris and whistler cannot make the great escape, was already lined with mesh !!!!!! shriek with delight, the previous owners had a cute bunny which i had forgotten about...PERFECT! huge back breaking job saved, what now i thought..mmmm


'THE VEGGIE PATCH' and so here it is ....
waiting for the carrots, leaks and sweet onions to go in !
