Week 52, and farewell, friends.

Well, what would you know? It's been raining again.


She loves her new 2014 brochure, I'm sure she'll be sharing it with you all soon on her own blog Daisy Row


We had pork for dinner on Christmas Day.

 
I tried to help them with their jigsaw puzzle, it's a very hard one, I think they need all the help they can get.


It was a lovely sunny day, so we took a walk around the lake in the park.


I love this, she has it on her studio door and at the top of her blog, it was made for her by Tracy (Mad About Bags).


Look at this card that he gave her, he's such a lovely man.


And here is one last picture of me for this year, contemplating the future.


I hope you've enjoyed my year as much as I have, I'm now going into retirement. She'll be doing another 365 for 2014 which she'll start tomorrow or sometime soon, you can find it here.

Happy New Year to all my followers, and thanks for joining me on my travels.

Week 51, almost there

My visit to see Santa, and to ask him for a peaceful New Year


I've enjoyed watching this blanket grow over the past couple of months, hope the recipient enjoys it too.


Our last pub visit of the year, to the Snooty Fox, love their tree lights.


The poinsettia doesn't smell of anything much, but it looks very nice


We really love this wine


A letter to our penfriend in U.S.A. although it wont go in the post now until after the celebrations and should arrive early next year.


My official portrait


Next week will be my last, then I'm going off to pastures green to enjoy my retirement. Wishing you all a very happy festive season and all good wishes for 2014

Love from Wanda x x

Week 50


Ooooh, look! New wallpaper on the bedroom wall.


One of our christmas cards, this one from Australia


The hyacinths are growing, but we don't hold out too much hope that they'll be open for christmas


I've spent a lot of time this year travelling around in HER handbag, I'm a bit grubby now


New reading lamps over the bed


"Times" for a bit of serious reading on a Saturday morning


The christmas tree is up


How was your week?

Week 49

I love to help with the gift wrapping


Our first card is from Nan


We were given this lovely tree decoration in our cracker swap


Thirsty work, this christmas lark (it's water!)


Took a drive out to Tisbury, and stopped in Fonthill Park on the way home for our picnic


Look what GM came home with, isn't he lovely?


He's also put the wiring in for new overhead reading lamps in the bedroom, watch out next week for wallpapering pictures!


How was your week?

Week 48

Hello again,  Happy Cyber Monday. Our hyacinths are showing, so they've come out of the cupboard, not sure they'll be in flower for Christmas though.


She loves a sweet potato now and again. Do you?


We've already eaten two boxes of mince pies, so she needed to buy another two boxes - I think the mice come out and eat them overnight (or maybe its GT?).


It was one of those lovely bright sunny days, so we took a picnic out with us in the car and found a nice spot to stop and watch the countryside.


We love getting letters in the post, this one is from Karen, in Cornwall.


I went with her to help at a Christmas Fayre that she attended in Westbury, we met lots of interesting people.


This lovely star was sent to us all the way from U.S.A., she took part in a Christmas decoration swap.


Hope you enjoy your week,

Wanda x x

Week 47

It's those girls again.


Gosh, is that the date already? How time flies.


A lunchtime trip out to Horningsham.


Look at all those leaves, I hope they don't expect me to sweep them up.


Celery soup? For a horse?


Ah, ketchup, much more to my taste.


Her little bottle of fairy dust hanging with the wind chimes.



How was your week?

Week 46

We had a lovely time away last week with the grandchildren, but now we are very pleased to be back home again.


It was a lovely bright sunny day, so we drove to the top of Cradle Hill with a picnic lunch to eat in the car - it was quite windy and cool!


Some vegan mayo for GO, from D.I.L.


Shop-bought cornish pasty for lunch, not as tasty as home-made, but much quicker when you're hungry


I've been helping her to stamp up some more Phoenix brochures and get them ready to distribute


These came from Australia, she has joined Post Circle and is one of a group of six people who send each other nice things in the post.


Our old washing machine died, and while we were away GM and GT fitted a new one, I'll just make sure it's working properly


How was your week?
