A Little Bit of Our New Year

At New Year, Paul's brother and nephew came to stay.

We don't see them very often, but B and Taz are similar age and they always have fun together.

Last time they came was about 18 months ago ~ time goes TOO fast ~ and we went cycling in the forest.

This time our van was/is in need of some repairs and so, as we're using my Nan's little tiny fiesta...

we had to keep local.

Everyone agreed that bowling would be fun for us all.

So, we booked two lanes, 

and a table at Pizza Hut

(that pretty young lady, is Bug's girlfriend ~ A) 

Of course Pizza always needs to be washed down with a bowl of Ice-Cream soup!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our New Year celebrations!

I hope you had lots of fun too :D

Join us TODAY ~ and show us a little slice of YOUR life...

over at COMMUNUALGLOBAL.

And as of Feb 1st the team over there are going to step up the pace again, and we will be posting EVERYDAY, 

so why not bookmark us and make us a daily habit ~ us and your morning cuppa :D

Party Time

Autumn on The Farm

It's harvest time here.

The little boys started out watching the spectacle from the top of our climbing frame.

I thought they should get a little closer to the action!

So we took a  little walk up our lane, to the next  field-but-one to our garden

to watch the harvesting of the corn field that we took pictures in the other day ...

It was really interesting, and Stitch was pretty insistent on staying to watch the whole field be done.

It was amazing how quickly it was all cut down, but we didn't quite stay till the end.

The sun was incredible and made shooting (and filming on a screen I couldn't see at all) a BIT of a challenge,

but ultimately it added to the atmosphere in the images!

I love living here!

Autumn in the Forest

You Capture ~ Autumn

Well I guess it really is here then...

~ time for early evening sundown...

~ weather that can't make up it's mind...

(rainbows with no rain!)

~ walks just to admire the colours...

~ animals bedding down for the winter...

(a badger set on our lane)

~ hedgerows feeding the birds ready for those cold days ahead...

~ fields getting ready to yield their crop, for us and the animals...

and time for us snuggle down with some comfort food!

(that's my very first toad-in-the-hole)
