Welsh Greetings

Greetings to all, and especially big birthday greetings to Kev on his 85th Birthday. Sending you lots of love and  a huge hug.
Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice, the longest day. It's just as well really because we have a lot to do.
On Monday Ann Margaret, Andy and their daughter, Ruby, arrive for three nights. We throw them out on Thursday morning and we head to the ferry for Ireland to catch up with Ruth Todd and Co.
So today and tomorrow is cleaning and readying the house for our visitors. Jules then has to get the van ready for travel and staying in for two weeks. That's between a few other chores I have for him also.
Well, I survived my Go Ape experience. It was good fun in parts and terrifying in others. Glad I have done it but never again.
Last week we had a new wood burning stove fitted in our fireplace. It looks fabulous. Picture on my facebook page.
The sun has been shining and we are experiencing some summer. Hope it lasts.
Busy day ahead so best get on with it.
Love to All. xxxx

greetings from the south coast

Hi all,
Half way through june already. Scary how fast this year is flying by.
Believe it or not, I have increased my permanent days from 2 to 3 a week. Took me about 2 months to make this decision, and I still feel sick about it. All psychological of course, because for the past 7 years II have been working there 4 days a week anyway, but its the permanent thing!!

So we dusted down the scrabble board last weekend, with Marty down south. Annie was the winner, I was the definitely the loser, but it was good crack. Then mum decided we should play some trivial pursuit - that just ended in massive laughter.
Beautiful to hang out together, and of course Moo phoned in to the madness, so she doesn't miss out.

So Im just hanging out with mum this weekend. Time to catch up on some Escape to the country together, while sipping on some cream sherry. Oh yes its the simple things in life!

So I"ll leave it short and sweet.
Love to all reading this
