Long overdue update

Well, right to it then.
David and Mags
Yep, things are on the go!   Their house is on the market. Dave arrives here on the 4th May and starts work on the 7th (I think) ... can't quite believe it.   Mags will hang about a bit in SA to finalise the selling of their house, which hopefully goes through quickly.   More updates as and when things happen.
Andrew and Leigh
Have found a bigger house, also in Long Stratton but on the other side of the A140 and move in on the day that Dave arrives from the UK!   Yikes.   Going to be hectic couple of weeks, but great news that Andrew and Leigh have found a lovely home, with more space for their boys and them. 
School holidays
Are in full swing - not that I've had much of a holiday yet but it's nice to be able to lie in for a bit in the mornings.   I've eventually managed to get a referral for my eyes to see the Opthalmologist - in June - so relieved about that.
Allyson
Has managed (with Andrew's help) to secure a house share rental and she moves in this coming Sunday.  Really pleased for her and hope it's a pleasant place to live - we can visit at least, which is the first time in a long time.  She has also applied for a job and is trying every day to get her life back on track.  We have made appointment for her to see the dentist at the beginning of May, so hopefully she will get her front teeth sorted out.  She's such a lovely looking young woman, it's a pity that her teeth have fallen into disrepair.

Took some photos
It's a lovely blue and sunny day today, although the wind is still a bit on the chilly side.  Just to show the gorgeous daffodils that are growing in the middle of our estate and the rape seed field across the way behind our house.










 A boy with our daft dog.
 A bishy barnaby (ladybird) that sat still patiently waiting for me to focus.

 The walk back to our house (the light coloured house on the right) - I even managed to climb back over the ditch on our plank ...

Impromptu braai ... April 2018

You might notice funny looking spots on people's faces, they're stickers ... as you do.

More photos from Whatsapp ... and all over the place

Faye making biscuits

A hat I made for Ewan - I'd already made Faye a 'cat ears' one ...





Ewan lost another bottom baby tooth
Leigh at her new school ...
The chaps who now have my painting - the first one I did when I came to the UK!  I'm so chuffed, Toni took this over to the States (it was purchased in advance as a wedding present)



Allyson has been given a promotion, she is now in charge of other carers and will be training other people as well - so she is now a senior.  Well done sweetheart, that is such a great achievement.

I have at last started working again - after a very long Christmas holiday break.  My main client didn't contact me to do any typing until yesterday!!  I'm very behind on my turnover but hope to make it up between now and the end of this month. 

Faye is doing really well in her music lessons - learning the piano.  She is doing a GCSE recognised curriculum.

I sold more paintings - although one of the 'clients' paid me short £5 :(
I have some more work that's available for sale and some potential buyers lined up.
