LUNAGIRL BLOG CHALLENGE VINTAGE GOTHIC -- ends June 1

Good Afternoon My lovelies...

I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend...

I know I did.. spent time up the stables riding, then Sunday afternoon

myself and hubby spent it out in the garden... chopping and clearing...

when I first think of the garden chores ahead, my initial reaction is, 

I don't really want to do this....

but then when I get started , there is something very therapeutic about it, and then when you look at the end result, you realize it was well worth it....

This morning I went down my lovely mum's for a coffee and guess what the topic of conversation was...... gardening... I was telling Mum about my plans for a veg patch...

and that I have never been able to grow a wisteria bush.....

and I am sooo glad that I can't only when Mum Googled it, they are poisonous......

So that is one bush I won't be having my Garden....

When I returned home, I found out that I had won the challenge over

at lunagirlmoonbeamsge-winner.

So decided to join in with the New Challenge, and my entry is below.....

Sunshine Saturday ........

Good Afternoon My lovelies

Well what another glorious day we have had here in my little corner

of Cornwall.... glorious Sunshine and very hot...

I was up with the the larks again this morning, to go up the stables

rode quite early to escape some of the heat..... Ace was glad 

to get back in the cool of his stable.... and I was glad to go and have a coffee....

On the return home, stopped and got some seeds... so this

afternoon has been spent in the garden planting

 Carrots, Spring Onions, Mint and Rocket Salad, I cut the grass topped up the pond

and then collapsed on the sun lounger with a cold drink....

decided to join in with my most fav challenge blog, lunagirlmoonbeams

And here is my Design...

Good Afternoon Folks

I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend....

I had a good one, out with friends on Saturday, Riding Sunday Morning, and then spent most of the afternoon out in a rather windy garden...

But this morning has been a completely different kettle of fish.....

As my regular readers will now, I have got myself another job working in the Hospital....

subject to references and a CRB check..... well when I got my present job my references were written out by hand by the relevant person, and posted back ..... not so today, I spent most of the morning, taking more info to the hospital RE how long I have lived at my present address, bank statements, marriage certs, passport, and the list goes on..... all these were not to be sent or photo copies.... the thing is I took all this to the interview a week and a half ago ARGHHH, and then was told this morning that my references were to be e-mailed, not sent.....

If this carries on pens and pencils will be collectables.....and you will see them popping up in

 Flog It.... and sold for some silly amount.....
