Bernie

this has to be my most favourite picture of Bernie, taken in our back garden one summer

New Moon

Today I was taken to see 'New Moon' by my teenage daughter. Last week I watched 'Twilight' at home so I would understand the plot! Teenage angst with vampires. Actually I like fantasy books, and also fantasy films - but am not convinced the plot line here is strong enough to support 4 books (and therefore presumably 4 films). Vampires seem to be the 'in thing' for teenagers at present as every other book she reads is about them. I guess it could be worse.

By the Sea

in my endless browse though photos I came across these, part of many thousands (!) taken on our walks around the coastal path. I've never really done anything with them - so decided it was time to start on another project!  As if I didn't have enough to do - so they will gradually appear.

More Christmas Memories

still working on Christmas memories. Unfortunately this pair of cats are no longer with us - but they did manage to reach the age of 20 years. Alice was determined that the cats should not miss out on Christmas Day!

slightly older here - but still very excited about this time of year

Old Photos

I have aquired some copies of old (early 20th C) family photos from a cousin - so I am gradually working on them.

this is my grandfather who I never met - he was a Special Constable in WW1 as he was too old be be in the forces. I think he's very handsome

this is the cycle shop he owned in the south of England somewhere

both made with the help of Christina Renee Designs available at Oscraps

still looking though the old photos - we don't often have this much snow - so when it happens the kids make much of it (or at least they used to - maybe they will all be too old and staid if it snows this year!)
