What was it ??

    Good evening bloggers hope you are all well.
    A couple of weeks ago I had a strange experience which something very similar has happened again tonight.I do believe in the spirit world and that there is an afterlife and that when I die my loved ones will be there to meet me,I'm not getting all weird on you here promise. As I said a couple of weeks ago I was in the bathroom I had just had a shower and was running a bath for Grandson Billy,the door was shut and I had my back to the door as I was just stood doing nothing but watching the water run,when I felt what I thought was someone touch me on the hip.At first I thought Billy had crept up behind me to make me jump but when I turned around nobody was there and the door was still shut.No I was not scared by it I have felt things before but this was definitely a I felt a touch touch if you know what I mean.  Now tonight as I have sat at my dressing table to dry my hair after yet again just getting out of the shower,I had a feeling of someone putting their arm around me as if to comfort me,and in a strange way it did.Nobody was upstairs no windows open for a draft to have blown across me I have thought of all things like that,it wasn't the heat from my hairdryer as I had just switched it off, it was a feeling a comfort feeling.
  I am putting it all down to stress and the spirit world letting me know that everything is going to be ok and that things will get better,I do hope I'm right.There maybe another explanation for it I am open to any suggestion's that anyone may have.I have had feelings before of my face being touched and a medium once told me it was my Grandma giving me a kiss which I thought was lovely and maybe it is her that is comforting me,thank you Grandma if it is you I love and miss you .
  Well !!! now I have told you about that and you know a bit more about me I'll have a moan about this cold flaming weather we are having,just when is it going to go away????I am fed up of feeling cold and I  mean cold, freezing cold.For months now I have had a cold patch on my back and it just wont go away.I wear a t shirt and camisole under my tops that I have on as well as a jumper and I still feel it,is it old age creeping upon me, should I be wearing a shawl,l I do sometimes when I am sat and feel cold.WHEN ! we get some good weather and it starts heating up a bit I will not feel it but just when is it going to happen ? It started off here today dry with the odd blue bit of sky and a ray of sunshine but it did not last long before the gray sky put in its appearance and that was it sleet ,rain cold more cold and more rain,real misery weather which is what I think I am turning into a misery,always moaning about the weather I'm getting fed up of hearing me moan,so please can we have some sun and I promise I will never moan again.
  I am going to warm some milk up now and go to my bed and read my book my Mum has given me ,it is called Breaking the silence and is by Diane Chamberlain I'v not read any of her books before so its all new to me.
Hope you all sleep well and are keeping warm,night night sleep tight.Love Jill xx

Spring !!!!!

     Hello friends hope you are all well.This pic brought a smile to my face today when I spotted it just wish that it felt like it.Tuesday was a lovely day here in the little village the sun was shinning it was warm in the sunshine and there was no nasty cold north wind for a change. I was outside most of the day sorting out the pots at the front of the house,my lilies had got a bit pot bound and I should have done them last year but never got round to doing them so while it was nice I emptied the 2 pots out and replanted the bulbs into 5 pots all nicely spaced out,I just hope that I have not killed them off fingers crossed,I got lots of my little plants looking a bit happier with themselves and looking forward to the spring..When I get outside pottering I never know when to go back in again, I ended up doing all kinds of jobs including washing the windows scrubbing clean the window sills and steps cleaning the doors and sweeping the front and back paths.At 5.30pm I went in side and hubby said he fancied fish and chips from Whitby for dinner,(Whitby is only 15 Min's drive from us)In the car we went off leaving the sun shinning and by the time we got 1 mile down the road it was foggy, in Whitby you could not see a hand in front of you,what a different world it was.The lady in the F&C shop said it had being like it all day and it was forecast for the next few days,she could hardly believe it when I said it was beautiful at home.  The last few days have seen fog and more fog and today rain and more rain gray nasty sky's and not looking as if it will go anywhere soon.
      I have not been a good blogger lately Iv not had much good stuff to blog about,we have gone through a very stressful time of late and my head has being in a bad place with all that has gone on but I am now starting to feel that there is not much that I can do anymore about the stress so I have to pull myself out of the dark place Iv got into.Life does bring us some stress at times doesn't it? but somehow we just struggle through it and hope to come out the other end a stronger person I think I am stronger and wiser just hope it is going to get better.(I feel like I have told you this before,probably have.)
     I have not done much sewing lately just bits of this and bits of that not finished anything,so that is what I'm going to get stuck into as much as I can to take my mind off things.I have 2 quilts to finish off one I started before christmas and one I started about a yr ago.Then I want to do a denim one for my sons bed and one for a present.I am going to make some pj bags for the boys for  here and at home,so I have lots to keep me occupied as well as looking after hubby,son,house and garden and not forgetting my boys when they are here which is not as much as I or they would like.
    I have being going  to slimming world the past few weeks and lost a few pounds and then put a few on but I am still 1 stone 3lbs lighter than I was in January so I am pleased with that.I have tried new recipes mostly vegetarian ones as I am not eating meat at all now,I haven't stopped because I wanted to but because I just don't fancy meat anymore.I am enjoying trying new recipes for myself and still cooking for the family as usual it does takes up more of my time but I feel like I'm doing something for myself as well if you know what I mean,I am having veg moussaka for my dinner tonight and the men folk are having gammon and veg's.
    I'm going to go start the dinner now and make a cuppa,then after tidying up later its bath and pj time,feet up and sewing in front of the fire with the curtains closed and the weather can do what it wants.Hope you have a lovely warm cosy night in or a good time if you are going out.
    Take care of yourselves,love Jill xxx
