Another stunning day!!could this be summer!!I'm up early most mornings and i decided to make a lovely breakfast  for hubby who's off for a few days! Bacon on ,sausages cooking  hubby up ...then this!! The noise is terrible!! of course Rosa Sean and Kelsy didn't budge ,slept through the noise, clanging etc...joys of being teenagers and a lazy Sean! It seems every few month this happens or we have the water board around digging things up. Ive been concerned that the go warm builders may have blocked the  drains as  my poor neighbour had to have her drains Dino rodded twice!! Well cut a long story short we ended up here!



 The BAY LEAF  ! They do amazing food with amazing prices!Patrick just couldn't stand the noise at home! and it didn't break the bank




Beautiful flowers in bloom all over town,wish my garden looked like this it seems  every thing is stunted and refuses to grow!








I love the tiny nooks and cranny's  around Stockton  and love the flea market on a Saturday...must remember to take my camera!

Made our way to the weigh house for Cherry's!! What an exciting life i lead!But couldn't believe how much they were in a leading super market we visited last night!!! Morrison's how could you charge so much for a tiny carton of Cherry's!!! Ive promise to make cherry scones for the family!!

Loads of sales on !!!




Off we went for Penny's eye drops!!Thank you Home bargains!!i can get the drops for 89p  rather than two pound  odd at the chemist....i do love the bargain shops!! i love the pound shops and the charity shops!

then back to the car and home!!

Sean has always loved creepy crawlies!!from being a little boy!Hes never grown out of the fascination of bugs!! This was bought for him many Christmas ago and left unopened until today.What fun housework forgotten,and hours spent in the back lane  i felt like a little girl again...my son always has the gift of making things that seem silly  exciting!!thank you  Sean it was a hoot son xx


The ant farm!


The hunt!


The trap!

The critters!!


The flora

A bright hazy afternoon

In a messy builders strewn  mess!!

Watching one of my favourite people
