June.

                  Good morning lovely people I do hope you are well.  Well the last day of May went out with a beautiful day and evening we had sunshine all of the day it was a special day me thinks. This morning the 1st of June and it is over cast but I'm not going to be negative we are going to get some sunshine today I just know we are I can feel it in me bones as my old grandma used to say.
    I haven't a lot planned for today just going to see what comes of the day, I do have to nip to the next village to get some vegetables our little shop in the village don't do veg's they say that not enough people buy them then they go off which is sense really but Id love to be able just to nip out of my door to the shop which is only 1minute away, that is if the railway don't see me and open the gates for the train , I'm sure that they have an alarm from my house door to the signal box that says" here she comes quick open the gates", because in the summer when I just need to nip quick to the shop for something which should take me all of 3 minutes ends up taking at least 10.Never mind if the boys are with me they love it seeing the train up close as it crosses the road they are impressive monsters just a little noisy sometimes. Billy eldest grandson will be 8yrs old  this month he is growing up so fast it really doesn't seem 5 Min's since we where waiting for his entrance into the world .He did surprise us by arriving 5 weeks early and having a few problems but he got over them and is a bright healthy happy nearly 8 yr old today. When he was small he had a mass of lovely blond curls but as he has got older his hair has got stronger and the curls have got a bit out of hand and don't curl like they used too. Billy has had his hair quite short for sometime now but has decided he wants it long and curly which is taking sometime to get where he wants it bless him, I think he sees himself as a little surfer dude which would be good as he has had a go at surfing when they where on holiday in Cornwall a couple of yrs ago and mummy said he was good at it. Here are a very small few of my favourite photos of Billy as he has got older I do have hundreds of photos of the boys and I'm sure I will be taking thousands more of them, well that's what grandmas do don't they?

 As you can see he is a happy fun little guy who is going to grow up handsome and break a few hearts with those eyes, but I would say that wouldn't I ?
    Well! that took me right off track of what I was saying and now Iv forgot like ya do! I think we have a bit of blue sky peeping out so that sunshine is going to come out and play. Its just 9am now so I'm going to get me bum off of me seat and leave you all in peace and go get me veg's. Have a lovely day and let me know what you are going to be doing this weekend.
Have fun love Jill xx

Hi folks!!

Hi folks!It is a miserable day here down or up in North Yorkshire,we have drizzle fog and its cold.But on the plus side my little garden is growing like the clappers!!Iv not done anything out there apart from pulling the weeds out and sweeping and its looking lovely.I'm going to just let you see for yourselves the lovely plants and the buds on them without me babbling on.

This little window is looking into the sitting room from the little lean too at the back of the house,it has my witches hat lamp in it,its a happy little window I think.

This little angel lives on the window sill in the lean too.

This is the window from the inside.

And this window is the back window in my kitchen that looks out on to my garden,the front windows look onto the steam trains.I see that Sir Nigel Gresley steam engine is out and about this morning taking the visitors to Whitby and Pickering,not a very good day to see the pretty views for them though,never mind they will be dry.
Well I'm going to go now and will be back in a couple of minutes with the pics I took of my kitchen when I painted it last week.Toddle pip for now xxx

A mixture.

      Hi lovely people,I now have my own laptop back thank goodness Iv been lost with out it,so I thought I would post some of the photos I have taken, my 3 cheeky beautiful grandsons Billy and Lewis with my glasses on,Scott with his dummy in and a face covered in cake and the other cheeky monkey, Billy's monkey which we bought him when he was 2 and goes everywhere with him and as you can see is always getting into bother,think grandad had something to do with that.

      This is Billy watching the train coming into the station.This engine is called the Bittern so Billy informed me,I didn't know until he told me honestly I'm not a train spotter lol.

       Remember the Thrush I told you that had built her nest outside my back door well these are photos of the little chicks as they have grown.There was 3 of them they have flown now so I do miss them cheeping away.

        Pussycat Patchouli asleep in the sunshine today.

             The next photos are of my garden 2 weeks ago, it has come on a lot more since I took these,it is starting to look pretty a bit more colour is needed but I do like pink and blues.

      My pots of Pansy's have been lovely but have got a bit battered with the rain.

      My little wisteria tree is coming on, wonder how long it will be before I get any flowers on it anybody know?

      Another cheeky monkey who likes sitting in the sun.

            I have done quite a bit of sewing this last 2 weeks when I have had time, these are a few of what I have done.

I have so enjoyed my time sewing lately I could sit for hours.I sit up at my sewing table doing what I can on the machine then I put what needs finishing by hand in a basket ready to take down stairs in front of the telly at night just so I don't neglect hubby too much.

     A few more of the garden and plants at the front and a lazy pussycat.


I bought this plague a couple of years ago its on the wall outside the front of the house,many people stop and read it and chuckle and lots have taken photos of it.Nice to make people smile.



            And more of sleeping beauty curled up next to me while I was sewing,she is good company.


               Hope this has not been a photo over load, I love showing you my bits and bobs and reading your comments.I do hope you have all had a good holiday weekend and are well,I'm off now to see what you have posted.Bye for now love Jill xxx
