woops!!!!


sorry - here is the "middle aged aunty" pic.....just to make some sense of the last bit of blurb.....and just so no one thinks i went to a black tie event in a red hairband and white shirt!!!

Some general pics....
















Phil did a charity auction the other week - a black tie number! But, fortunately he gave me PLENTY of notice...like the night before...to buy "a pretty". So i rushed out and bought a frock in about 5 mins. Do i look like a middle aged aunty? Yes, clearly i do.....dear me!










Anyway onto more important things - a pic of the boys sleeping in front of the fire (which unfortunately you can't see in the pic) - both fast asleep, very sweet.










And a few others. I can only upload about 4 pics at a time, hence the "more....." titles.










5 weeks to go before the due date. I finish work next week which i can't wait for. Other than that i swing between having bouts of energy (wripping out plants in the garden, wanting to paint the kitchen) to bouts of exhaustion and going to bed at 7. Time is a ticking......

even more autumn.....











More autumn.....











Autumn's here....
















A few pics of the autumnal colours - just starting - will no doubt get better in a few more weeks..and colder.

more picnic..











Easter picnic
















We have just said goodbye to the Brunings who stayed with us for a few days. We had a lovely few hours in the sun yesterday, the boys fished, kate and I drank tea from a thermos and hugo and archie searched the rocks for treasures. Followed by hot chocolate at She Chocolate cafe..a must for visitors..made with real chocolate and cream.....delish.
