Been awol....

Sorry not been around, been a little busy with it being school holidays, and last week we decided to go away for a few days, just hubby, Steven and me... We went up to Lacock to visit my SIL as we've not visited her there since she moved there last year.. (where Harry Potter was filmed in Lacock Abby and the Christmas special of Cranford in the village, my SIL was pointing out how they changed the red pillar box into a petrol pump and where the jail was placed)...

We then stayed in a hotel at Tenbury Wells and then the next day onto Weshpool for the Weshpool & Llanfair light Railway ...

We had a fab day on the steam trains (photos to follow), and stayed a couple of nights in a Premier Inn in Oswestry, then the next day back to Llanfair for a model railway exhibit, by the way did I tell you that hubby and Steven like trains, lol...

Me, well I'll enjoy them to a certain extent, but think they beat me to loving them...

...my love is for looking and stroking paper, lol...

I didn't look for any craft shops, as not really the time, but did buy at the model railway exhibit, bought a chicken shed and some chickens, as I managed to persuade hubby that one of the train stations tenants looked after chickens for fresh eggs...



Oh and grow he's own veg, so needed a wheelbarrow, roller, trug with tools, flower pots, watering can, garden fork and spade and some rabbits...hehehe



Sorry not brilliant photos, as didn't want to take them out the bags for fear of losing the little pieces, will show you them again when hubby has made then up and painted them for me, lol... well got to keep him out of trouble in the winter evenings...


On Monday of this week, my baby started back at school, trouble is he's in he's final year, cannot believe where the time had gone, when he started school at the age of 4 and half, the thought of him being there till he was 19 seem so far away, but it's nearly here as Steven will be 19 next March, so making this he's last educational year....

He was a little agitated getting on the bus as the council have changed the transport firms, so not only a different colour bus, but different driver, escort and children on the bus, but he seems to get through he's first day OK, but time will tell, with Steven it's probably 'the calm before the storm' lol...

Well, have caught up with the holiday washing as lovely weather for drying, and the housework been done... so am taking tomorrow off, going to nip to the gym first thing, (as not been for a few weeks as Steven around), then going to pick my mum up, probably do some shopping and then we're hoping to meet my daughter for lunch and have a BBQ in the evening, courtesy of hubby, lol...

...and celebrate my daughter getting a permanent contract in her new job, (her 3 months trial was up last week, and her appraisal went well, resulting in a permanent contract)....
also her boyfriend has got another full time job, after being laid off last month, he starts work tomorrow...

So celebrations all round I think...

OH yes and I've ordered a little shed for the station tenant's garden...
