Lazy Saturday Afternoon

Today we didnt need to leave the house, we had so much fun in the garden and hardly came in the house all day....even had a little nap out doors too

Bluebells

We live in a beautiful part of the UK and near to out home is Ashridge Park, around the beginning of May the bluebells arrive, however because of the warm weather this April they have arrived early. This is the first time the twins have been visiting when they have been out. We had a lovely walk, the photos really dont so them justice and the aroma was amazing

Sabbatical

We have just returned home after a weeks sabbatical in Sussex. We stayed at a Christian retreat place called West Watch, in the Ashdown Forest which is run by some friends of ours, we have been before and always have a relaxing time. There is no mobile phone reception or internet which adds to the relaxation. We stay in a little cottage, the gardens are beautiful and are visited by many different birds. The weather was lovely and we took our sports car and travelled around the countryside with the hood down!

We took a trip to Hastings and visited my cousin, walking from her hosue down to the Old Town for fish and chips and a walk along the beach

Another day we went further along the South Coast and visited Eastbourne, eating sandwiches on the beach

We are now home and ready (did I say ready?) for a busy week ahead with family visitng and the Easter programme at church

Trip to visit the President

 GuGu, the Presidents daughter

President Jacob Zuma

This is what I wanted to post about yesterday but couldn't because of my uploading problems.

 If you check out my daughters blog she explains it all much better than I can

My son in law is now on his way back from visitng and spending the night with the President of South Africa! Quite an odd thought really. I have only received a brief message from my daughter saying that Martin had had an amazing time, they had dinner together and stayed up chatting until after 11pm. I am looking forward to hearing more.

Back to Normal!

Fantastic...I am back to normal thanks to someone who answered my question on 'help'. Just had to click the 'Compose' button and not the HTML one.

These are some chicks that have hatched on my daughters little farm...cute eh?
