Been to the garden centre this afternoon, with eldest son and DiL.

There were some people from a bird of prey sanctuary, raising awareness and collecting money.

They had four beautiful birds with them - an eagle, a barn owl, a harrier (forget which kind) and a little American kestrel.

The sanctuary isn't too far to travel, so I'm going to put it on my "places to visit" list.

They had lots of lovely decorations -  lots of new ones I'd never seen before.

Any good snowmen yogi? That's my theme this year The bird sanctuary sounds great, we're visiting a falconry ourselves next weekend!

Yes there were a few snowmen - some large and some smaller.

 

Oooh, I'll need all the details after you've been to the falconry, they are such beautiful birds.

Sure thing yogi, i'll upload a pic or 2 We're celebrating mr summers birthday next week and that's one of our plans

I've just been working on my Xmas cards

Great idea, he'll love it. Did you decide on the binoculars?

How many are you making?

Do you do a lot of craft stuff?

Summer, I keep getting the whirling cogs and it's driving me mad.

Going to sign out now, catch up tomorrow,

Goodnight Ros.

Nite Yogi  

I'm making 20 yogi, everyone else gets regular cards I have one storage container of craft stuff, but it's several years worth. I tend to buy as I create.. I can't currently find my hole punch though! Sweet dreams yogi, I hope the cogs are oiled overnight

yes - we had something like that here

night yogi and summer(again)

Good morning everyone

 

Another 2 days here are forecast of very warm weather, then it gets a lot cooler, close to normal. The plants must be getting very confused about this. Oh, and there's mention of some wintry weather over some of the Scottish mountains in the next week or so - crazy.

 

I and my brother saw the last episode of Dr Who and found it a bit confusing. It sort of made sense by the end, but where it goes from here is a puzzle. The real Dr Who is alive, but as far as history is concerned he's dead, so how can the series carry on because as soon as he appears anywhere that would conflict with history. And have Amy and Rory left the series or not?

 

Good morning everyone. It's still pouring down, up here.

 

Squiggle, I am thinking of you and your family today and send you lots of love.

Aww, sorry I missed you, Velvet.

 

I'm sure your cards will be lovely.

My DiL is quite artistic and creative and even made her own wedding invitations, which were beautiful.

I missed it last night. Looks like I need to watch on catch-up, asap.

good morning

 

Here's a candle for mr squiggle

 

with many for squiggle herself, and her family.

Yogi your DIL sounds creative like me I love making cards etc El, I hope you're enjoying your weekend with your brother

Good morning everyone, its another lovely morning here.  I have the family staying so I am all out of my morning routine. 

 

Thank you for your kind words and for thinking of us today, you are very special people

Thinking of you and the family on this special day Squiggle.   and  for you.  God bless.

Thinking of you today squiggle, sending you and the family much love  

We had this hymn today at our Harvest festival service and I thought I would post this clip, particularly for squiggle and family today I chose this one as other clips used different music.

 

I hope the roast dinner went well today squiggle Hi joyron & skylark hope you're both having a good weekend Mr summer and I have been out walking & geocaching today, now there's a chicken in the oven and the goonies has just started on tv

Evening all.

Had the family round for Sunday dinner and now getting ready to watch X Factor.

Squiggle, I hope today was filled with memories of happy times.

Thank you for that lovely clip EL and for everybody's kind words today, it all went well and my daughter seems more at peace with memories of her lovely dad and not so much the pain of losing him.  I am really tired now so I am off to read, thank you all again speak to you tomorrow.

So glad it went well for you, love to you and your family.

 

Off to bed, goodnight everyone.

Hugs for Ros, Summer and Velvet.

night yogi and same from me squiggle

Nite Yogi and Ros 

Good morning everyone

 

Squiggle, I'm glad yesterday went well for you and your family

 

Yogi, I hope my post about Dr Who didn't spoil it for you for when you watch it - I was assuming that everyone who watches it would have watched it on the night. I think when you watch it that you will see I haven't said anything which wasn't already implied.

Good morning everyone. T'is a bit windy up here, but no rain atm.

El, I am one of those people who always reads the spoilers for programmes (nosey and impatient) so you didn't spoil anything for me.

I didn't get the chance to watch it yesterday because I had the family over for Sunday dinner, but I am really looking forward to it.

Good morning everyone, a breezy morning and much cooler.

 

Having watched it since the start I have given up on Dr Who now I like the new Doctor (Matt Smith?) although not as much as David Tennant but I find the plotlines totally silly and difficult to understand now, such a shame.  I hope you enjoy it though Yogi.

good morning Cloudy & cooler here today I fell asleep straight after downtown last night the afternoons walk must have tired me out Hope you all have a good start to the week, squiggle I'm really pleased everything went well yesterday, and I'm happy to hear that your daughter is doing alright

Morning all 
Glad everything went well yesterday , squiggle 
Hope you are all well today x
Daughter on her way down to do an online grocery shop , her laptop not behaving today. See you later xx

I think the finest Dr Who stories were the 2 parter story (David Tennant) called Human Nature (part 1) and The Family of Blood (part 2) where he has lost his memory and becomes John Smith a teacher - set in WW1 - outstanding drama by any standard, and that story was followed by Blink, which was the one which was about Sally Sparrow and introduced the Weeping Angels. Those 3 episodes were released together on a single DVD, and is the only Dr Who DVD I have ever bought.

Dr who scares me

When I was wee, I was afraid of the daleks.

 

Good morning Squiggle, Skylark and Summer.

I think that's why I'm still scared of it now yogi

Good morning too btw

I'm brave now, I no longer hide behind the sofa.

Just behind Keira instead? Hehe
