Week 12, visiting LOVED ones

 

I LOVE my camera, it still feels like a new one, however, this week it's thrown a bit of a wobbly and refuses to work properly. I've googled the error message, and it seems that it might be the battery. Batteries have a useful life of about 2-3 years, mine is 5 years old! So I've ordered a new battery which should arrive soon, and in the mean time I'm having to use my phone, so please excuse the not quite so good quality of the photos this week.

I collected GD5 from school one afternoon, she LOVES nothing better than to stop at the playpark, and I'm happy to let her burn off some energy. 

  The gorgeous little girl who lives opposite us seems to be LOVING her driving lessons

 

I LOVE seeing faces in strange places, this is my jigsaw lamp in my studio, which looks as if it's keeping an eye on me.

 

I don't often travel over the weekend period, however in order to see my GS1, it was necessary for me to travel on Sunday, which, to my surprise, was actually easier than on a weekday!

 

He's such a LOVELY man, I LOVE him to bits.

The following day my LOVELY DiL, CH, took me to Wisley, it was quite a chilly day, and rather overcast, CH had prepared a flask of tea and some lunch, and we made the most of it. We were unable to go into the glasshouse, as they appeared to be cleaning the glass roof. It was here that my camera objected, so all the rest of the photos are from my phone. Enjoy.

 I hope you've had a LOVE-filled week.

 

 

Week 11. What are you LOVING this week?

 

I spent some time with GO and his family while EG recovered from her appendectomy, and he gave me some LOVELY flowers. GM also thought I deserved flowers, so he gave me some as well. I had lots of fun playing with them all and deciding where best to put them. All vased up and in the kitchen

These for the dining table in the yarden room

These in the lounge

These on the windowsill in the library

And these in my studio

I really LOVE having lots of flowers around the house.

The weather has been pretty cold all week, which gave us some LOVELY frosty mornings and LOVELY colourful sunsets

I LOVE interesting number sequences, this, on my trip meter when I got home one day, really made me happy to see.

GM and I had our usual LOVELY weekly lunchtime outing, this week was back to Wetherspoons, with some interesting wall art

and what looked very much like a headless customer!

I forget the name of this plant, CH's mum gave it to me last autumn. I LOVE that it's taken so well to its spot in the lounge that it has given us a pretty flower.

Another finished jigsaw puzzle, quite difficult, shame about the missing piece.

And finally for this week, crocheting is one of my favourite pastimes, blankets are easy and can be done while watching TV, which is otherwise, I think, wasted time. Here is my latest effort, a LOVELY bright stashbuster. Still a way to go.

Spreading ripples of influence to change the global culture to one of LOVE. LOVE makes the world go round. Please put LOVE into everything you do. Please spread the LOVE, don't resort to fright, hate or any of the other feelings currently around us, choose LOVE.

Week 10, and the primary LOVE of my life has a birthday

 

Not one with a zero at the end, half way between one zero and the next, he was plenty five. He wanted nothing more than a quiet day, involving a beer at lunch time in a new location. So we took off to Bradford-on-Avon to visit The Three Feathers for the first time. We LOVEd it, as close as you can get to a good old fashioned pub, and the beer was first class too.

I fixed his favourite meal (he LOVEs roast pork) for tea, and we washed it down with some Fleurie.

His favourite card wasn't the one I gave him, he LOVEd the one from our GD7 the best (it looks just like him, don't you think?)

International Women's day happened a couple of days before. I'm hoping I'll still be around to see how the world copes with these two fiercely independent young ladies.

I'm LOV(E)ing that spring is just around the corner, my pop-up mini greenhouses are ready and waiting to be pressed into service

and for the first time ever, I have some LOVEly snowdrops 

I trust you've had a LOVE-filled week.

Week 9, I LOVE that winter is now behind us for another year

 

 

Rounding off February with some statistics

February's target was 76.72 miles, I LOVE that I have made 1.64 miles impact on January's shortfall.

It has been a strange week, GO needed my assistance, as EG spent a couple of days in hospital, so I got to spend time with two of my favourite people, which I LOVED.

Not forgetting a well-LOVEd Stanley, their very laid-back cat.

Other LOVEly happenings include: 

the completion of a double-sided jigsaw puzzle, my curiosity got the better of me and I had to know what the picture on the reverse looked like (it's just an advert for the puzzle-maker).

the first showing of trailing petunia seedlings

some colour in the pots

and the first sign of new growth on one of the clematises

I do hope you have enjoyed a LOVE-filled week.
