I am shattered but it was a lovely day and I am now ready for my bed..

I am adding a few pics and there will be more in my stuff over the next couple of days..enjoy,

Morning Jen

Sounds like you had a good sleep and obviously needed it after all that walking :faint:

Great pics, that statue is a bit odd stuck in the middle, who is it?

Did the weather stay dry for you?, it is bucketing it down here and lots of flood warnings around, I am just so glad I live at the top of a big hill ;)

We were very lucky with the weather Sally and only felt about 2/3 spots all day , it was very warm and quite humid by the later part of the day ... i wasnt going to go because i dont like going to things by myself , so glad i went though!

I must say , I was very dgood and just bought 1 lovely orangey yellow day lilly and a very beautiful white Incarvillea


The weather here today is diabolical ... I feel so sorry for all our wildlife... we are to expect thunder and lightening , (my dread!)

I think I might clean my upstairs today then try and improve my latest wax pic of the flowers!! I might paint a WC Peacock or a Black Swan ... cant make my mind up!!



Have a nice day whatever you do Sally,

Just had a quick nosey at your other pics Jen, it looks stunning, and you were so lucky with the weather :thumbup;

It hasnt stopped raining here yet today, and it is soo cold, I have got my big chunky snuggle cardi on :rolleyes: And poor little Florence had an accident in the hallway, bless her I have to keep pushing her outside and she just looks at me as though to say "But mum I dont want to go outside, its freezing" :cry:

Have you taken Jet out? at least my 2 little uns dont need a walk every day, they are quite happy going for a drive in the car :lol:

Stay Dry and Safe

I dont like thunder storms so Roy too Jet out for an hour in the rain , bless him .... this afternoon it continued to rain and it has been awfully wet and thundery but not cold here , still in short sleeves! Mind you I have been cleaning!!

Re done my flower wax pic .. no batteries for camera yet so will put on later...


I think I will have my dinner and take Jet out as the sun is out , yipee and she has been playing up something awful!!!


Thanks Sharon ...All the places we visited were really beautiful and I went , even though I was basically by myself.. I am going to the one in December too, should be good,
