Wet and windy Sunday

Good morning Ladies and Gents,

I haven't started the day in a while and as I couldn't sleep I thought I would.
I hope you are all well and have had no problems with the wind and rain.

Alan took me to a new craft shop in Clare Suffolk called Natty Netty, it's a small, pretty shop which stock a little of most things, I was looking for photo glue which had sold out and blank 12x12 card which she didn't stock, however I still manage to spend £33 mainly on peel offs and gems. Clare is a small villiage and I'm sure she has all they need, but was a bit too small for my needs so we went to the Range on the way home.

Have any of you been to the Range? they have branches all over the country and stock a large selection of craft products.

I have been doing loads of stamping and watercolouring, I love using H2O's and Cosmic shimmer's and I am really into flower stamps at the moment.

Well we are off to have breakfast and then some shopping followed by lunch at my friends, she does a wicked roast dinner, it always taste nicer when you haven't cooked it yourself.

Hugz

Morning Mikki, Andrea, Lou, all who follow, I hope things are well with you all and that Jayne is feeling better. I been to the Range in Kidderminster it was great, but I dont think there is one around here. Love the pictures Lou. Have a good day Andrea. Love to you all Janet.xxx

Good morning everyone Been very windy and wet overnight, but is now bright and sunny and the wind has dropped
Sounds like you had a good spend Mikki
Looked on the Range website and putting in my postcode it looks like the nearest one to me is at Clacton, there is one in Enfield though, when we go up to Mike's parents again will get Mike to take me there on the way up
Fab pics Lou, very impressive
Hope everyone is feeling better today, have a good day all

Good Morning to you all. Wet & windy here too last night. Just got into bed and the rain started beating against the window, it was so noisy so I said that I was off to Sally's room again and Martin said "I'm coming with you". It was so quiet that side of the house and I didn't wake up at all in the night waking at 7.30 went to loo then back to sleep til 9.00 Feel so much better this morning

Great photos Lou, thought the trees at the back of our house were tall Nice to see you back again Mikki, sounds like you had a good time craft shopping. We have been to the Range in Cheltenham. I like it as Martin has lots to look at too so we can both browse without the other getting bored Have a good day crafting Andrea, looking forward to seeing the cards you have made

Morning ladies, good to see you back on here Mikki The Range in Cardiff is in the process of expanding its craft section, to quote the Manager, " 6 times as big as it was" so let's hope they stock it with a larger selection rather than just more of what they had he he. I do go in there sometimes but don't tend to buy a lot there.

Those are impressive trees Lou, I bet the children were fascinated by them too

Looking forward to seeing your QVC spend all made up Andrea Did you know they have a craft day on Tuesday ? It follows Joanna Sheen on Sunday on C&C and a C&C craft day on Monday - wee loads to watch he he

Glad you managed to get some sleep regardless of the wind and rain Jacky, we had the same weather here but I have a reputation of being able to sleep through a hurricane without hearing a thing he he. I think they exaggerate .... he he

Jayne hun I hope you have started keeping food down now and are feeling a little better.

Hugs to all who need and even those who don't need store them up for when you do need them he he

Morning everyone. Had an awful night last night. The rain and strong winds started here at about 9pm and got worse througout the night. At one point I thought some of the roof was coming off but I can't see any damage this morning.
Great to see you back Mikki. I've never been to the Range so I will have to see if I have one near here. Have fun crafting Andrea. Great photos Lou, I love visiting the New Forest but I haven't been there for a few years now, perhaps it's about time I had another visit. I used to visit Burley to look at the antique shops and the fudge shop.

Hope all the poorly people feel better soon.

have a good day whatever you are doing

I have been watching the birds in the garden this morning as I noticed 2 little birds which I thought at first were pied wagtails but when they came nearer and went on the bird feeder realised they were longtailed tits. I have never seen one before They were so pretty. While watching the usual blue tits, robins & sparrows a little coal tit came too, which I have never seen in our garden but had seen in a friends. Then Martin came rushing upstairs and said there was a strange bird in the tree and it was a Great Spotted Woodpecker. I have seen them before in the garden, one came regularly, but haven't seen one for several years now. Martin has got quite enthusiastic now and has set up the tripod with his camcorder on and connected it to the tv so he is sat bird watching. Unfortunately he can never remember any of the names of birds Now show him a motorbike and he remembers everything

My son (Jake) has a Birthday party to go to this afternoon and true to form have left the card to the last minute. Got an hour to knock something up so its not too bad

Nice day here in Dover today which makes a very pleasant change

Hope you all have a lovely day and those that were felling poorly hope you are starting to feel better

Afternoon ladies. Lovely day here almost springlike! I get loads of coal tits Jacky and occasionally longtailed tits. Also got the greater spotted woodpecker briefly when it was so frosty. Haven't seen it since though. A nuthatch is also a regular visitor as well as all the usual tits, robins etc.

I like that one Sue, given me an idea for Sally's BF's birthday. Not til September though Does the horse just slide along or does he turn somersaults too like the Winnie the Pooh that Anne made

Turns somersaults!!

That will be great, cos that's what the horse he backed did at Kempton - not quite somersalts, but did fall.
