Good Afternoon Readers,

Well what about that rain we had yesterday, and the early hours of the morning, it was tipping it down here in my little corner of Cornwall, it woke me at about 03.30 this morning, banging against my landing window, and nothing normally wakes me........ hubby who usually is the light sleeper, slept right through it........ anyhoo, woke up this morning to a rather cloudy day, we have had a couple of light showers...... so up the yard as usual this morning, and yay, Ace and Whisper were in the right side of there field........ so the electric fence must of worked, so we went and attached the new battery we purchased yesterday and it now makes a rather loud clicking noise...... according to Anne that is what is supposed to happen, so hopefully we have cured it, so took Ace in to the school, first time this week, due to dog sitting and fencing...... and had a lovely time, Ace was even well behaved, which is a bit worrying, he usually throws some tantrum at me....... probably saving it for tomorrow.....  so once home, decided to join in with the fun over on  simplylessismoore. and my entry is below........

Good Afternoon readers

Well it's a dismal day here in my little corner of Cornwall........ rain...... started of ok, but got worse as the day went on, well up the yard this morning to electrify my horse's paddock...... once again the fence had been trashed by both of them, so we will see if the fence is down in the morning, I sincerely hope not, as this little lot has cost me and Julie £200.00 so far...... we had to go and buy a fencer battery this morning, £85.00, my truck battery was only £90.00, it's true what hubby say's put Equestrian in front of things and it will cost you an arm and a leg, but he's worth it bless...... at least we will have everything ready for next year........ Anne the owner of the yard has said the grass this year has been a problem, due to the glorious weather we have had,but it should begin to die back a bit now growth wise that is.... well my Kirsty Allsop, moment is continuing, I have baked an Apple Pie for Hubby, and in my Crock Pot, I have a chunky vegetable soup, simmering away, and the smell is delicious..... as my regular readers will now, I said in my blog yesterday, that I was going to make some of my Christmas Gifts this year, ie, hand made Chocolates and Hand Made Soap, so yesterday I ordered some molds for said item's  of good old E-Bay, so once they have arrived I will start....... of course I will have to have a practice run with the chocolates....... well today I have managed to join in with the fun over on  Winter Wonderland and my design is below.....

Good Afternoon Readers,

Well it's getting near the end of another week........ were does the time fly, my friend  Sherry said in conversation ,that we only have four more pay day's till Christmas..... FOUR, is that all....... I need at LEAST 12........ I am going to make as many Hand Made Gifts as I can this year........ firstly , yes to cut the cost, but not only that, I think more thought goes in to something  Hand Made, rather than going in to one of these large Department Stores, and picking something of the shelf, that will probably be opened on Christmas Day and shoved in a draw........ so my idea this year is to make some Hand made Chocolate and Hand Made Soap, these can be made even more special by the packaging... I feel a Kirsty Allsop moment coming on...... so anyone who has any ideas, please leave me a message in my comment box....... well to get me in the Christmas Spirit, Hmmm, I have joined in with the fun over on 52cct.blogspot I just love Bugaboo Stamps, as some of them hit the nail right on the head.......

Good Morning Readers,

Hope you are all well........ today the weather is sunny with a bit of cloud here in my little corner of Cornwall, and the leaves are all falling from my trees, even though it is sunny you can still feel Autumn is in the air...... and I must admit my most favorite season, I just love the crispness in the air and the most amazing  colour tones...... well this morning I went up the yard as usual, not planning to stay to long.....well you now what they say about the best laid plans....... well that was true today, got up the yard to find that both my horse Ace and my friends horse Whisper, had trashed the fencing that we had put up........ and were happily munching in the part of the field they should not have been in.......so I have always been told to make things visual to a horse, and as ALL horse owners now what scares there horse the most , no not huge lorries or loud noises......carrier bags yep you got it carrier bags, you could be out on a hack and pass a multitude of obstacles, and most horses would not bat an eyelid, but a carrier bag in a bush, well that's the scariest thing ever....... so once we had fixed the fencing, we tied carrier bags to the top rung of electric fencing, not sure if it will work, we will no tomorrow, but it does look quite funny, as all you can see along the middle of our field are flapping carrier bags...... when we told the owner Anne, what we had done she held her head in her hands... Can't see why..... but rest assured Anne that carrier bags are not staying as we have purchased the fittings to electrify the fence........ today I am joining the with the fun over on christmascardchallenges and my Design is below, the challenge is to use something new, and just in time, my New Nellie Snedden Christmas Embossing fold arrived.
