Shopping with Maddox

omg what a few weeks!!

What a few weeks...first my  blog wouldn't  allow me to post pictures! then my PC suddenly  conked out!!Apparently the drivers  wouldn't load after the PC had updated!! I was so  upset ...i really thought that maybe i had some sort of virus on my computer!!! Judging  by some of my face book friends their having the same problems!! I got up this morning  switched it on and  it had fixed itself???????I haven't a clue about PCs and my eldest son who always came to my rescue is just too busy with his splogeaway business to help!!

I visited Tyneside last week...i do miss my family and i had a bit of a titter when i saw this the BANK OF NANCY is still going strong!!My amazing mum  has looked after two generations of money...sorted bills  lent out money with no interest of course!!My lovely niece has been saving for Christmas gifts and it looks  like the bankers giving her  the money shes saved!!

Waiting for Santa ...Felix and Cosmo!!

Nana's tree...........

Lovely homemade decorations made by my clever cousin Liz................

Our beautiful Milo and Maddox ...it was a boy day as the girls were at school and wernt very happy that id come through in fact i was only stayed about three hours and had only told my sis and mum i was coming so the kids wouldn't be upset!!So i don't know who leaked it!!!!

What a pair of beautys!!

A very fuzzy picture  but i love it...my sis and brother and two nieces...FAMILY.....love you all and miss you more!!!

this week in pictures!!!

sunlight,,,,,,,,,

Today  was the start of our new Bible Study group.........This is what i was met with when i went outside!!

 Very cold and crunchy,crunchy!!!

I was so surprised to see our old and frankly run down bridge all spruced up...........

I knew it was going to happen as it had been discussed at a resident meeting many months ago!!!

i remember briefly thinking HOW MUCH!!! But today as i rounded the corner i thought how lovely it looked  i know its Vandal proof as that was the first thing i asked when we were told about it!! I'm very fussy when it comes to  art in and around  the town and think such a lot of it is a waste of space and money...but  i really do like this and it celebrates  the building of George Stevenson's Rocket.....

 I crunched my way down to Judith's house , in my trusty wellies my mum gave me three year ago!!! We had a really lovely first meeting lots of discussion and loads of laughs!!

An hour later everything was melted away, the winter sun spectacular in the mid morning sky!!It dominated the cold  almost black streets!!

 It reflected  silver lights on to everything.....and really reminded me of what  we had   been  talking about in our study group!!

The sun had melted everything!!Puddles every where filled with reflections.....

lovely  reflections....i am amazed at how you can find beauty every where if you just look....in this awful time of recession  when everyone i know is struggling, wrapped up in  the worries  of just making ends meet I'm  stunned by something as simple as the sunlight!! I don't know if I'm mad but it makes me realise  what a beautiful world we live in  ......................

Its here.......

Get me out of here!!

Are we the only sad family that are glued to this every night!!What a hoot its been  i loved Rosemary and Eric started to grow  on me a bit.......Dr who was amazing but they,ve all been sent over that big metal bridge!!

 A brilliant mix of characters this year!

 These two guys make the show love their humour there like a modern version of the late great Morcome and Wise  who my second son loves!!

The  now famous water challenge!!

Who goes you decide!! OOPS that's another show.....cant believe the last two standing are girls!!I  think there both great but i would love Charlie to win....and see Kiki crowned the jungle princess so sweet......reckon ill be glued tonight!!!
