Good Afternoon Readers,
How are you all doing ..... Today in my little corner of Cornwall, Winter has arrived ..... contrary to what today is supposed to be !!!!! I was quite surprised this morning as I was listening to the radio, while going up to the yard, I did not know that today is supposed to be the last day of Winter, has anybody actually told the weather this.... today we have had strong winds, hailstones the size of marbles, well alright not quite that big, but large enough,
 and it is very chilly .... how's it been were you are..... well have not been up to much the usual up the yard and riding my horse .... then returning home to the dry, the cold doesn't bother me just the rain ..... before going up the yard this morning, I did purchase three new digi sets, they were all 40% off, and I made my layout using all three of them, the picture is my three dogs, that I took before going to work on Tuesday, it's not often I can get a picture of all three them, unless they are fighting of course,

Good Afternoon Readers,

What a glorious day we have today in my little corner of Cornwall, the sun is shining with a slight breeze, the birds were singing when I left home this morning to go up the yard ...... gorgeous day 
long may it last !!!!! I hope were ever you are you are having some of this weather too, well took advantage of the weather and rode my boy this morning, he was soo sooo good, bless him although I do think he may be leading me in to a false sense of security...... then put him out in his field for a couple of hours in his NEW rug, that was nice and clean, for him to go and roll in the mud lovely ...... did my chores up the yard and then got Ace in, who was so reluctant to come in he made we walk right over the side of his field to fetch him.... returned home to get things ready for work tonight, this morning I went over to Luna Girl Moonbeams and decided to join in with there new challenge which is Goddess, and my Design is below.

Well peeps will speak to you all again on Thursday when I have finished my night shifts God willing.

Until then it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him....

Shopping Really !!!!!!!!!!!

Good Afternoon Readers,

Hope you are all enjoying what is left of the weekend, the weather in my little corner of Cornwall is rather on the windy side again today, 
no rain !!!!! yet, well did my usual this morning, rode my boy, ran the rabble then returned home to do something I very rarely do ...... I went shopping with Hubby, I have not done a weekly shop for nearly
 6 years !!!!!!!! well since I started working at my current job actually, not that I won't do it or though I would rather not, but because Hubby say's I buy to much rubbish ...... ie chocolate, biscuits , crisps, notice nothing healthy ...... and hardly anything for hubby to eat ..... my regular readers will now that I am a vegetarian and Brian (Hubby) is a vegan .... so he decided to take over the shopping role, and I have to admit he does a dam good job, the cupboards are stocked with healthy snacks and loads of fruit and veg.... but today I went with him, and Tesco's was packed, is that really what people do on a Sunday ..... shop, but when I looked around at them they actually looked as though they were enjoying themselves, me, all I wanted to do was to get out ..... hubby is soooo soooo organized, even his list was written out in the correct store layout...... me I was wandering from aisle to aisle..... I did however purchase a couple of things, a nice church candle with vase for my friend Julie's B'Day... and a Lime green spatula..... so see I can do shopping.....

Yesterday I had a lovely surprise I won the challenge over at  Digitally Sweet and my prize was some gorgeous images from lunagirlmoonbeams and they have a challenge blog, which I hope to be entering sometime today, below is my entry to the new challenge over at Digitally Sweet, which is a colour palette challenge....

Good Afternoon readers..

Well it is the start of the weekend again, can you believe it .....

It only seemed like yesterday I was saying the same thing, well what have you all been up to, the weather has been a bit better of late in my little corner of Cornwall, although on the chilly side ... up the yard this morning the first time since last Sunday , Hubby has been sorting the boy out for me while I have been waiting for the new Tumble to be delivered, which arrived yesterday, so I was expecting Ace to greet me with open arms, telling me how much he has missed me ...... but no, I did get the proverbial neigh, but I get that from him every time he see's me or hear's my voice ...... all he wanted was his brekkie, and he was not all that impressed when he saw me get his saddle out either, so after I had ridden and sorted a few things out, I returned home, but to my surprise on the way home, Noah ( that's the name of my truck) decided on taking over the steering wheel himself and drove me to my fav charity shop and stopped right outside,  I had no control so I couldn't have stopped him even if I had wanted to !!!!!!!! so not wanting to disappoint him I went inside ..... and came out with 2 tops for Hubby, 2 tops and a pair of trousers for me, 3 tops and a pair of jeans for my daughter Teresa and 3 soft toys for the rabble, total cost £5.00 ...... so I patted Noah on the bonnet and thanked him for taking control, as I was going to drive straight past !!!!!!! ( Honest) so I dropped items of to said Daughter who was pleased with the goodies, and came home......

Good Morning Readers,

I hope you are all well, and not working to hard, I have just finished my third night shift and I could not wait to get out of the door this morning ...... it has been  rather stressful the last two night's what with being short staffed , which we should be used to by now, so things were a bit tense at times, but we got through it yet again ....... anyhoo, my new tumble dryer arrived this morning, which I was so pleased to take delivery of, as my ironing was piling up..... as anybody who knows me will tell you I hate ironing with a vengeance nearly as much as I hate making sandwiches ..... so my shiny new iron has pride of place in the kitchen, and my real iron has been put back in the bottom of the cupboard...... while I was waiting for the lovely  delivery men to bring me my shiny new toy.... I whiled away the time by making my friend Sherry her Birthday Card, she loves purple and vintage, so I hope she likes my design.....

Does My Garden Look Big With This ........

Hi Guys,

I may have Fairies at the bottom of my garden, but I don't think I would like this

 scurrying about my bushes !!!!! 

Giant hedgehogs have landed in London demanding the servitude of the human race,

Not really.

Standing at 7ft tall, 12ft long and 8ft wide, the prickly creature that is bigger than a rhinoceros or 4x4 vehicle has been unveiled to mark the launch of a new Sir David Attenborough series.

Good Morning Readers

Hope you are all well on this dismal Monday morning, the rain has returned and so has the wind ...... it was so nice to have a couple of rain free day's made me think that Spring was on it's way at last, how wrong was I..... anyhoo, I am sitting at home waiting for a phone call to let me know when my Tumble Dryer will be delivered ,so hubby bless him went up the stables to sort the boy out again for me, so I have been busy doing..... nothing this morning, to while away the time I have done some chores and tend to tackle some of my craft studio this morning, one of the things I did  try and do, was to tidy up the rabble's toy box..... but as fast as I was tiding them Toby was getting them out again, he thought it was a good game ..... me not so much, his brother Chumleigh was lying on the sofa with Queen Smarty Pants not at all amused by this frivolity ..... I did however manage to get a photo of Toby which is so endearing I just had to do a layout for it, and of course I also had to buy a new digi kit for the occasion which is called Furry Friends .......

Oops ......

Good Afternoon readers,

I hope you are enjoying what is left of the weekend ...... the weather here in my little corner of Cornwall has been lovely today, quite a contrast from what we have had, although a bit on the nippy side the sun has been shining for most of the day, I did have to de-ice my truck windows this morning, but all in all a nice day, went up the yard as per usual this morning, ran the rabble, then put Ace out who resembled Zebade from the magic roundabout, he bounced down the lane this morning, like he had springs on all four of his feet, and as soon as his feet hit the fields he took of like a race horse, kicking and bucking around the field, it was a mixture of being stabled for two days, and the crisp air ...... but when I left he was munching, apart from going up the yard, have not really done much, have played around in my Craft Studio doing behind the scenes projects for my Challenge Blogs, then just happened to go over to Daisy Trail, Oops ..... and purchased a new digi kit ..... yes I now I said I would not buy anymore until the end of the month, but, I just had to have this one ......  I wanted to capture one of the photo's I took when we had some great waves at Portreath Beach, and this digi kit was ideal...

Good Morning Readers,
Hope you are all enjoying the weekend......, I have not been up the yard this morning hubby went up instead to sort the boy out, I have been waiting for a new Tumble Dryer to be delivered, but have just had a phone call to say it will not be here till Monday, due to the weather it is still at the depot in Wigan, which is a bit of a pain, but hardly the end of the world !!!!!! the most embarrassing  thing is that I use my tumble dryer a lot as I do not do ironing,  so you can imagine I how I felt when I had to ring Hubby at work and ask were the iron was, and did we even have one, I'm sure I could hear hubby chuckle to himself down the phone...... anyhoo found said iron hiding in the back of a cupboard, have been able to hang some washing on the line this morning, as it is not bad weather,  for how long it will be out there who 
know's !!!!, well how many of you were romanced yesterday what with it being Valentine's Day and all, were you wined and dined, flowers and choccies ..... I had none of the above, but Hubby is never one to fail me, and gave me a bottle of Samsara Perfume last night, he knows I have a penchant for expensive perfume,
So I am off out to reciprocate, and get Hubby a little something ......not sure what, as he is not the easiest to buy for, but I am sure I can find something with his name on.....

Good Afternoon Readers,

I hope you are all well and safe, from this terrible weather we are having at the moment, once again in my little corner of Cornwall we have strong winds and heavy rain, was up with the lark's again this morning, to go up the yard as per usual to sort out a rather bad tempered horse..... I think he thought he was going out, but he thought wrong, the weather was to bad so I took a rather sulky horse in to the indoor school and rode him, much to his disgust,  I had no sooner untacked him, and I was back up on to Cyril, so my legs at the moment are a bit on the sore side, and I am beginning to resemble John Wayne in the way I walk...... 1¾ hours of hard riding is a bit to much for me , I can manage an hour...... just. On the way home I could not resist popping in to my Fav charity shop, and came away with another carrier bag full for a £1.00, and popped in to the childrens bit and picked up 3 soft toys for the rabble..... then dashed on home to find my Valentine Flowers and Chocolates ....... only to find nothing, searched the house (slight exaggeration) still nothing, it is Valentine's Day today isn't it, I haven't got the date wrong have I !!!! maybe hubby will surprise me later ...... but hang on I haven't got him anything either, oh dear hopefully he will not twig what the day is, and totally be oblivious of the hearts and roses, smack bang in the entrance of Asda when he goes shopping later, 
just like I did !!!!!!!!!
