MO, his lost false teeth and blogs!!!

today i was in Suzicraft all day..we had loads of lovely customers in,some regulars , Kay and Karen came into craft for a few hours.Lots of lovely chats with loads of friendly faces.The  phone never stopped ringing everyone wanting Chloe stamps as shed been on create and craft yesterday!! But something wasn't quite right!!The day plodded on with searches for  butterfly acetate,talking about pens  and hot cuppas with new faces...yet things weren't really  normal!!Something was missing or should i say someone was missing!!WHERES MO!!! OMG wheres Mo!!I knew something was missing!!Mo is our most regular crafter  who's in the shop dead on nine o clock.Mo is hilarious....he sits in the corner on HIS seat and crafts from morning to night  only stopping for his packed lunch which  always consists of two salad buns from Gregg's! He drinks copious amounts of coffee white with no sugar cause I'm sweet enough coffee! Plays all day with his Hougie board and never stops cracking jokes and chatting!
It was  two o clock and he  hadn't arrived!!Where could he be ??Just as me and Karin were discussing  how strange it was in comes Mr Mohamed Kasim. He'd been chilling out!!or in other words he'd slept in.The lie in done him good he was on top form!!

Karin
He had us in stitches as he began to tell us about his PC and how he couldn't get his  google on!He actually hit his tower in temper and was so pleased when his false teeth flew off the top of it ,,, he'd been looking for them since the suzicraft night out....Karin laughed till she was purple and was still laughing half an hour later!

I know you ll be reading this Mo as you told me and Karin that you fancy starting your own blog .

Go for it Mo i think your blog would be  brilliant!!I promised  to mention you on here!!

Always smiling!!

SUNSHINE....

Today the sun shone and my poor baby is ill,two weeks shes been ill and today we had another trip to the doctors in the sunshine....Flowers were peeking out all over the place and i suddenly realised that every where i look there was colour! Flowers that evoked memory's of childhood past , buttercups!!
How many of us remember sitting in vast fields of buttercups and putting them under our chins to see if we liked butter!!I'm sure i read somewhere that there becoming rather rare....Making daisy chains in the summer and wearing them around our necks all day till they just  fell apart!!

Beautiful fat purple and white clover that we insisted if you sucked on them you would taste the honey and nectar sweet and sticky ...of course that was rubbish!!!But  it was such a magical time  ,we spent hours wandering over the farmers fields  and playing down the burn!!


We stopped  near the doctors and soaked up the sun for a while, a chance to give Rosa a rest.

The derelict houses were surrounded by colour

Splashes of scarlet and snowy white fought their way through dirt and rubble! These  streets were used not so long ago to film a German production of a war film, the local community being invited to dress up in 1940 style clothes and become extras on the set!It was so much fun watching and i must find the pictures i took that day to share with you.
We walked home slowly  in the sun

The heat  beating down on our backs!! what a lovely change from the depressing rain and gloom of the past five month!!

Past Mrs Alf's garden  with newly planted pots!
Into our tiny tiny garden with little flashes of colour! We sat in the sun  Rosa eating ice pops to cool down..penny  guarding her as usual!

We watched as Sam put up a giant England flag up above our local shop!


 The football is on every night and is driving all my  friends mad!! Football every night for hours!!

The flag  fluttered in the blazing sun and we laid back and soaked it up HEAVEN!!

I CAN SING A RAINBOW!!!
