Weekend Hair.

Weekend hair and other treasures :)

Charity shop "Treasure"

Some things I found earlier this week:
yet another garment for the new baby......I tell you they are going to have to change her outfits at least 3 times a day to get the wear out of the mountain of clothes my mum, sister and I have gathered, not to mention anyone else's contributions.This is an irresistible little GAP baby coat, herringbone patterned velvet with flowery quilted lining.

and some technical and craft books with very nice illustrations and good clear instructions.

"Walkabout"

On Sunday we spent a glorious day on the outskirts of Manchester. We went to meet number 2 son from the airport, returning from China. We walked up through the village to Alderley Edge  "a prominent ridge of land with a small village nestled against its western flank. Thousands of people visit the Edge each year having been drawn by the legends and history of Alderley Edge. There are many unusual sites nestled amongst the ancient trees and many of these are linked to the legend of the Wizard and his knights" more history here

Found a perfect little dwelling in a nice setting.

"A little bundle of joy"

On Wednesday night sometime around 10pm in Prague...........................
born 3 weeks early, caught my brother out of the country, but he's there now.
Now all I have to do is send a card and all those baby clothes I've been collecting.
Have a joyous weekend :)

I do hope it's a girl!!

We (sis and I ) are expecting the arrival of a little niece in a few weeks time, Hope the scans are right - there is always a chance of error. I wonder if a little boy would look good in any of these outfits I have collected!! All have been charity shop purchases.

Mothering Sunday

I have had these lovely flowers and gifts for Mother's Day.....and the sun looks like it is coming out now after the rain so we are thinking of going out for a walk. We might even find a nice coffee stop. PS I have been eyeing up the cute little bag for some time with the thought of using it at my friends wedding next month.

Head in the Clouds

Number 2 son is off to China for 10 days. Flying to Beijing first. I think he arrives there tomorrow morning.
A 10 hour flight...... far too long to have your head in the clouds for my liking.
Alternatively these are the only clouds I wouldn't mind seeing at close quarters.

Spring clean

Last weekend the weather was lovely and warm and I managed to spend some of the time outside tidying up in the garden and also the first outdoor coffee this year......although i did sit in the greenhouse.
Oh and can you see my spring clean hasn't got round to tackling the glass in the greenhouse, hence the spotty effect on my white cup!

Short but Oh So Sweet!

Little did I realise that this post title would come to mean so much more.
Some time this afternoon our poor little Milly was knocked down and killed. We don't know where exactly or the exact circumstances only that a woman saw it happen and took her to the local vet's.
The receptionist rang me up to tell me.  The woman didn't leave her name and I am so grateful to her for taking Milly there because at least we know she has not just been left by the side of the road.
So dear Milly your friends were not watching after you closely enough and we are all so sorry you are gone.

A short life but a happy one.
