Bunny has arrived at her new home

I was pleaed to heat that this bunny arrived safely in her new home. I just hope that her new owner will love her!

Where have I been?

Sorry for not being about lately, I was in Devon last week and am still catching up on everything that needs doing at home.

I willb e back later to post some photos and to tell you about our antics!

The riding school fair

We went to the riding school's fair over the weekend, but the day before Leah decided to lounge in the garden with a mini milk....
...lounge is definitely the right word!

I took some photos of the ponies....(I don't know this one's name - as I don't ever ride them that small)...

..this is Denver one of the escort horses...

...then Guiness and Columbus.....

....and last of all my favourite Dandini!

we went for a walk afterwards in the woods and came across this little chap...

and more of Leah!

A busy, busy weekend

I really can't believe how much we crammed into this weekend, it just seemed so busy for a change!

Friday night I organised a hen party for my Brother in law's fiancee, so a few of us went to our local curry house for a few drinks and a girly night out. It was good fun and I bought Gill the usual dodgy tiara with a veil, learner plates and got us all bright pink feather boas to wear!

She had a good time, as did we all LOL!

Saturday we were invited to a retirement barbecue so we went there for a few hours and had a bite to eat. The food was soooo tasty, we had tandoori chicken breast, salmon kebabs, steak, sausages, jacket potatoes, salad, coleslaw and even finished off with cheese cake yummy :o)

There were a few people entertaining so we had our caricatures drawn....
..not bad really but Leah's picture was definitely the best!

Inthe evening we went to Mum's 60th party and had more to eat there! Leah was good and I took her home at about 10ish, although she was still wide awake......

Sunday was a bit quieter, we just went back to Mum and Dad's for a late breakfast - for 12 of us in the garden, not including Leah and William. It was lovely especially as the sun was shining.

I went for a two hour ride on Monday and rode one of my favourite horses, Dandini. He was such a good boy despite a few over excited bucks along the way. He really was going for it and I loved it!

To top it all off we have had the airshow over the Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday, so from our house we have been able to see some of the planes. We even had a Red Arrows formation fly past our front door (well almost!)

So now I feel like going back to work was almost a rest for me!

A little gift for my friend's new baby....

I was told recently that one of my friend's gave birth to a little girl, so I decided to knit this and get it in the post to her. I don't know whether it has arrived yet, but I do hope she likes it!


I think it's really cute myself LOL!

I think I've started something.....

Leah has got the knitting bug too (well crochet in this case!) If I ask her if she wants to do some knitting she grins and says 'yes' whilst vigorously nodding her head!!

This morning I gave her an old plastic crochet hook and some DK yarn and this is what she did....


... she looks totally engrossed haha!

My Scraps Chap is here.....

I got round to making one of Fuzzy Mitten's scraps chaps and I really love how he turned out! You can download the pattern for a small fee here on ravelry and you get three patterns in one. I was planning to sell this little chap, but I think Leah has her eyes on him....
