Good Morning my Lovlies...
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend....
The weather here in my little corner of Cornwall, has still been a mixed a bag,
but have still been able to do a lot of outside activities....
for me most of the weekend has been riding my two horses....
which has been thoroughly enjoyable, and yesterday myself and hubby spent all of the afternoon in to early evening in the garden....  Thursday afternoon hubby went to B&Q and purchased a
wood shredder, a large compost maker and a some stones......
we have a piece of garden that is really no good for anything... so we decided
to put some stones down....and make a feature of it..... so when I returned from the stables, hubby was already in the garden putting together his new toy.....
I left him to it and cut and strimmed the grass..... hubby still putting new toy together.....
finally...shredder ready to go...plugged it in and hubby instantly jammed it.... so after a few minutes it was shredding the old trees that we have cut down over the weeks.... hubby looked so happy with his new toy.... in the meantime the compost maker had been put in it's rightful place and we started to fill it with grass cuttings and shredded wood...I even brought home some horse manure for it, 
we then got started on the feature.... and run out of stones....so it was another trip to B&Q to get more, I also put four rose bushes on the trolley and four tubs for rose bushes to go in....
returned home to finish the feature.... dogs were not being at all helpful, thought they were at the beach and were running around and rolling in said stones...after a while we finally got it sort of how we want it.... just a bit of tinkering and some solar lights and think we have finished...
my greenhouse is looking rather cool, my seeds that I planted two weeks ago are well on there way...  this is the first time I have ever grown any salad or veg, so it is a learning curve for me at the mo... hubby is also busy clearing a large piece of the garden for a veg patch so fingers crossed
next year we are hopefully going to be self sufficient as regards veg and salad,
 and all will be organic..... 
 tonight I am back in to work after a glorious weeks holiday,
 So will Speak again soon God Willing...

I Made this card for a Friend who Loves Beatrix Potter



These are some pics I took of the nearly completed feature

Good Afternoon My Lovelies....
Well I hope you are all well.....
Have you all enjoyed the Sunshine we have had....Today in my little corner of
Cornwall is a mixed bag......but still very warm.....
we have had a few heavy downpours of rain...but you could practically hear my garden groaning
with delight..... things were starting to look a bit arid!!!! 
Well I have been on Annual Leave from work this week, and a glorious one I have had.....
at the beginning of the week I acquired another horse......
her name is Beauty and she is a 17 hands Irish Draught, jet Black, she is amazing...but huge,
as my regular viewers will now, I already have a horse called Ace of Spades who is also Black,
I did have a beautiful shire horse called Dazzle but I sadly lost her nearly two years ago...
and my heart still hurts...
So this week for me has been busy riding, but horses are my passion...
since I was a little girl, playing cowboy's and Indians in the garden with my Grandad, we used the push along lawnmower, as our stagecoach....Grandad used to lay out brooms and rakes on the floor,
as a make believe jumping arena and I used to jump over them pretending 
I was on Horse Back ...such happy memories....
but know I do not have to pretend, I have two beautiful horses and a very supportive husband..
I am a very lucky lady....my other passion as you are all aware is crafting.... when I have
the time...this week I have only done behind the scenes craft projects.
But today I have managed to join in with the fun over at 
Tonight I am off out with my daughters and a couple of friends from work, for a Birthday drink, as it is my
Birthday Saturday...
The theme for the challenge is inspired by your favourite book,
bet you can't guess what mine is !!!!!!
