This Week........

My baby has had her eleventh birthday. She celebrated with some friends last weekend. Today she dragged me around her favourite shops with birthday money burning a hole in her pocket. I think she enjoyed buying some special things though.

My sweet Mitchell turned 15 this week . He is about to begin learning the bass guitar, so no doubt that will be interesting (and loud) for all of us!

I couldn't wait any longer for my stocks to flower, so I treated myself to a bunch this week. They are just beautiful, I love their perfume!

I had a really enjoyable day this week and had some much needed stitching time with a lovely group of ladies. We had a lovely time at The Quilters Angel at Highfields. It is in a lovely complex with a coffee shop and other delightful shops.

I do however have this beautiful tulip in my garden. I have three pots of them all coming into flower, this being the first one. I havn't grown tulips before. They seem to be doing really well and should put on a delightful display.

On my way down the backstairs this morning (and there are quite a few of them), somehow I miss the last few. Well, I was a crying heap at the bottom - I can tell you!!!

Two skinned knees and a very big bruise coming out on my arm. I can feel my body becoming stiffer and stiffer.

The things we do for a picture for our Blogs!!!! I hope you enjoy this tulip very, very, very much!!

Not much else here other than much pie making at the bakery. Hoping for a more enjoyable week this coming one!
