Sennen (One day Run and holiday)

Hi all

Back again, my blog is a bit like busses, youll get used to it, promise. 

So June heralds the One day run, what is the One day One?  Well for those that dont know its a days Harley event which some friends of ours organised as a bit of an endurance ride.  The idea is at midsummer we set off  from Lowerstoft at sunrise and get to Landsend by sundown.  Inbetween we stop at all the riders and have a stamp on a passport designed for the ride.  If you get all the stamps you get a t shirt and a badge.  Now on the design of the badge is a rainbow and the organisers are doing it til the last colour, which sadly will be next year.  I havent done the ride myself but hubby has.  When one of the organisers had a have a hip replacement we said we would do the marshalling at Landsend.  It was then we decided we would make a weeks holiday of it and do it in the car so I could come to the event too.  so after the weekend we went to Hayle until the Friday and had a brilliant time dispite the weater being a bit unpredictable.  Enjoy the photos

The first few bikes to arrive at Landsend, there were 66 people in all that made the ride.

Brownsea Island

Hi all

Yes its been a while, I am so bad at remembering to do posts, I will get better.  Well as a belated birthday treat, a few weeks ago we went to Brownsea Island.  ITs somewhere I have always wanted to go and never got round to it.  We dont live that far from it, its typical isnt it, somewhere local and we never go.  We had a fabulous day, the only thing we forgot was that it was half term and as Brownsea Island was the founder of the Cubs, there were lots of activities but it was still lovely.  We saw a red squirrel, within minutes of our arrival, it was pointed out to us.  I did get some photos but not very good, he was far too quick. You can just make him out.

Hi everyone,
How are you all doing?  I have been a bit busy.  Back in May we went to a fairy ball to meet Brian Froud, my hero in the fairy art world.  He is responsible for the films The Dark Crystal and Labrynth.  There baby Toby was the little baby in the film Labryinth.

It was a wonderful day and evening.  The way home was marred by a problem with the car and we had to get Britania Rescue to get us home as it was a problem with the brakes all sorted now though thank goodness.

Flowers in my garden

Hi everyone, welcome to my new blog.   I havent blogged shamefully for about three years.  Lots has happened and I havent had time for one thing, but now I should be on here a lot more.  That is the plan at least.

So onto my post.  The flowers in my garden.  Well with all this strange weather we have been having nature has been all over the place.  Roses in December that kind of thing.  Spring is finally approaching and I am glad to see the crocus, snow drops, and grape hyathince.  We also have daffodils coming into flower, early for those I know. 

Hopefully the weather will settle down and we have a beautiful spring and summer.  I love how nature sorts itsself out in the end even though it must be confused.
