and the last of Ewans birthdays:

Finally here is Ewans birthday party number 3! Yip, you highness had 3 parties/special days!


Harvest Time

Here is a little bit of video taken from the car park at work.

Harvest time at the farm is a bit late, I think it's because the boss has got a trucking business to run and is also building a natural gas plant (to make even more money)  as well as farming!




You Tube Link

There should be a link above to the video, I can't see it hopefully you can...

Going back in time and things kids have to say about the modern lifestyle:

On Saturday after doing our recycling bit for the planet and taking all our glass and card board to the recycling depot, afterwards we took the kids to the local park.

Ewan on his bike and Faye on her scooter. It was very busy, all the people there to watch Long Stratton FC play a bit of footie, kinds running around the play area. As Ewan goes into the kiddie play area a cute little girl shouts "There's my friend Ewan, Ewan!" and off they go hand in hand to play.

A short while later they come to where we are sitting and the little girl starts talking to Hayzel. The story went something like this, "It's summer holidays and my mummy is taking me to the beach tomorrow. My daddy doesn't stay with us anymore and he doesn't take me anywhere, he takes me to the pub...".

Aaah yes, life in the new millenium, how far we have advanced...

Here is another old video from March 2013, I quickly finished it, trying to catch up with the backlog. This was filmed using Hayzels ipod so it is only in 720p HD, sorry.

If you have forgotten, below is the link to the original post...

Butterflies and Antiques (not)

We decided to go down the road this afternoon to Dunstan Hall as there was an advertised "Antique Fair" on today.




Dunstan Hall is a 4 star hotel and was built in the current mock-Tudor style round about 1859, and it's erm quite larny. It's also a very popular wedding venue and there's a decent golf course as well.  Turns out they wanted to charge us 3 pounds each to enter (children free) ... just to wander around a room filled with old shit that dealers were selling at over-inflated prices.  We turned around and left.    |Then we tried to find Tasburgh Fishing Lakes on the way home but we had gone down the wrong road, so that was a non-event as well.  Next time we'll be a bit more prepared and take the maps (or Kevin) along with us.    Anyway, it's not all doom and gloom :) ... butterflies have been swarming all over a bush in our garden that's just come into flower, couldn't resist taking a few shots ...










I did a few more paintings, just have to glaze them now. 


Next week is going to be hectic   .... so looking forward to welcoming the arrival of little Peanut on Wednesday (?).   Allyson has also moved out of the place she was sharing with Ronnie the psycho and is now living with David and Mags.  Hope everything starts to turn around for you now Ally, you deserve a break.
