rocking on

is exactly way I have been doing this week. Kicked off with the AMAZING stage show of ROCK OF AGES, it was brilliant not like anything I have seen before funny, rude, loud and well rocking'. 


The rest of this week has been pretty rocking too - starting off with Mum and Margaret popping round to scrap - although really I should be moaning about how ill I feel cos Margaret had a nasty cough and cold and was worried about passing it on, however if I did I would be lying!! and Margaret would feel terrible :) I did scrap quite a bit and loved it.


I used this sketch on Sketchabilites #73 couldn't wait to use my new paper

I love you

 Basic Grey - Whats Up

I then got a bit bogged down with various meetings, reports and event plans and so on. However have a look here its all coming together so well.


Then tonight I am out with the girls, tomorrow I am at a cocktail party, then it's the weekend when I am going to a picnic :) - not bad huh

Surprise Surprise!!

me again!! Not blogged twice in as many days for ages, don't suppose for one second it will last hey ho. The reason I am blogging is that I so enjoyed my scrapping yesterday I have rushed around to get the errands and 'stuff' done so I could do more today. I have even braved the cold - not raining ...yet and fed the pigs and the chickens. It tales a while as we have 3 new chickens and they are all settling in OK ish except at feeding times,  I have to stand down there and ref for a while. One of the new ones is so friendly I have to watch her as she follows me everywhere including out of the run! We 3 new white chickens, a Silver Nick called Nick a Coral called Coral and a White Star called Star, do you get the feeling we are over the naming chickens stage lol

This is Coral - the others are, well much the same with less of a fan type tail!!

This is my LO - inspired by Sketchabilites Sketch #72 

Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks

Pink Paislee - Prairie Hill

and finally my invites, considering I stopped making Wedding Stationery I actually enjoyed making these

MONDAY ALREADY

why do the weekends go so flipping’ fast? Hey ho back to Monday morning, alarm clocks, packed lunches, and all round manic haste - especially if you sleep through said alarm clock - no not me - but Dan IDIOT!! Especially as I was up and it never occurred to me he was still in bed!!! he usually is out the door early.

Doug and I spent much of Saturday in the town market square with the Rotary Club selling

'FOOD FOR FLOODING'

Barbie for Brisbane - Burgers/sausages etc given to us by the local butcher and rolls donated from Gregg's
Samosas for Sri Lanka – an amazing 250 given free by Hitchin Gurdwara all cooked fresh Saturday morning
Caipirinhas for Brazil - again donated from the Off licence

Have to say the Caipirinhas (a Brazilian drink - never heard of it myself) - bit like a Mojito with crushed lime and sugar and ice managed to keep us warm

We raised an amazing £970.00 - aren’t folk fabulous?

Thanks to a couple of lovely mates I discovered I was a

Walk this way

We were so pleased that Sunday was a bright and sunny day - cold but fab for doing another London Walk - we now have 2 books so this year we can do even more. Plus I get to try out my new camera. We drove up to Ladbroke Grove tube - parking is never a problem on a sunday as we can park for free in the pay and display so we parked up and set off. The book called the walk “A Tale of Two Tribes” not sure why but think its a reference to past racial tensions. 

Anyway we set off through to 
Wornington Green
housing Estate which is dominated
 by this

We then turned into 

and confidently!! walked the wrong way - how dense are we? Anyway a quick map check and a bit of reading - the book has some great stories and we were back on track

I loved Portabello Road - we walked the whole length of it - FAB

 and then around the corner into Notting Hill

We mooched around here for a while had lunch then set off into Kensington Park Road - a fab road with gorgeous houses - and where, I have just read
in Chris Evans book, that he used to live. Loving theBiography BTW

Walk completed the book said we had done 4 miles but with our detours and the fact we walked up Portabello Road again we probably did 6 miles.

I am currently browsing my book for the next one

Before the weekend I managed the FABULOUS sketch over on Sketchabilities 38
