First of the seasons crops.

Most people don't like the rain, but us gardeners do because without it our crops will fail. However we also like the sun as this also helps our crops to  grow and thrive just like these radishes that i sowed earlier this year.
You can't beat home grown organic food , there's nothing like it..... 

I love to eat them just like this...with bread and butter and some strong cheese.

  

A walk in my garden.

Hi all you lovely  bloggers out there. ... Yes i am still alive and 
hope fully back blogging again after what seems to have been a long spell away.

My photography assignment is now finished and just waiting to be handed in to my tutor on Tuesday and then down to the pub i hope !!!
My course was City and Guilds level 1 in Photography. I did it at college for 2 hours a week plus 1 day home work. 

Although i have found my course quite hard going i have also thoroughly enjoyed it and have learn't a great deal on how to take great photos.
These photos were taken in my garden. Hope you like them..

    

Front cover of Weight Watchers

Hi everybody I've been very busy lately finishing my assignment for my photography course so have not been able to do much blogging.

However i just had take some time out to introduce my lovely daughter- in - law Stephanie Wilks.

Stephanie has been on the weight watchers diet for the last 16 months after the birth of her second daughter Darcey and has lost nearly two and a half stone. You can read her journey in the June addition of Weight Watchers.
So all you slimmers out there you must go and buy the June addition of Weight Watchers.
Her are some photos of Stephanie . I'm sure you will agree she looks stunning with her new image.

 Well done Stephanie we are all very proud of your achievement. Love you lots.xxxxxx

Memories in a box.

Its been a while since my lovely dad passed away and now we have the sadness of clearing the family home
.
 I thought i was finished with the tears, but going through 91 years of my dads beloved treasures has been more emotional than when he died. Things like family photos, fathers day and birthday cards, going back years are the worst.

 Its so heart breaking to break up a family home which had so many happy memories, but it has to be done.

We found some of his special photos and keepsakes from his past in an old wooden box which i would like to share with you all.

   How lovely that dad cherished these old cards enough to keep them. The one on the bottom right was from my mum to my dad.

 Some old coins and purses and a post office savings book.

 My lovely mum and dad during the war. Mum passed away 4 years ago leaving dad very sad. He missed her terribly.

 An old hand written envelope addressed to where dad was stationed during the war

 How lovely to find such a royal piece of memorabilia.

 Photos of my mum, dad and his mum and dad. The 2 babies are my sister and me.

 My granny and granddad Claydon. The silk postcards were sent to my gran from my granddad during the first war.

 Lovely hand written letter. Notice how old the stamp is.

 More photos of my family.

 Me with my twin sister Carole. I think i am the one on the left.

 Mum and Dad with both of us.

 I still have my teddy and rose bud doll.

 Mum always dressed us up in the same cloths so it was hard to tell which one was which.

 More of dads treasures in his box.

As you can see by these photos my mum and dad where very proud of us two girls and we were lucky enough to have such kind and caring parents.

God Bless you both.
