Welsh Greetings

Hi All and Happy New Year.
Hope you all enjoyed any celebrations and aren't suffering for it.
Not much happening here. The weather here has been s**t! It has rained for about 50 days straight. It is mild but think I would rather it be cold and dry. That's the weather out of the way!
Had a quiet Christmas. I cooked dinner though - first Christmas dinner I have done here.
I have a new Kindle courtesy of a raffle prize I won - £100 gift card from Amazon. Also won a onesie in a different raffle. Not so excited about that prize.
Been quiet on the work front over the Festive period. Hope that changes soon.
Not much else to tell.
Enjoy Clare's 21st all who attend - that means you too Clare!
Love to all. xxxxx

Welsh Greetings Addit

Was just wanting to apologize for not sending Christmas gifts yet. Thought we were buying for Kate & Annie. Lucky I checked the list on this blog. We are buying for Claire and Hasi. Sorry Peeps. Will get them to you but will be after Christmas. Good thing I'm a crap shopper and completely unorganised to get gifts in time for Christmas.
Love to All. xxxxx

Greetings to All from beautiful South Wales.Just a quick post to wish you all a very Happy Festive Season. Hope you all enjoy. We have no plans. I am available for work (as they pay silly amounts of money at Christmas). Had a few gatherings to celebrate in the lead up. Had a dinner with a few of the other full time agency staff. A small group but very enjoyable night. Also had a lunchtime Christmas dinner with a few friends, and we had a darts Christmas party. Have even been to a pantomime - although it was an adult version. Not what I would normally go to but Louise had a spare ticket. It was quite amusing actually and an enjoyable night overall.
The weather has been extremely mild for December. Mostly due to the rain! I hate December in Wales at the best of times, but this year has been particularly depressing. Winter solstice today so the days start getting longer!
Not a great deal of news really. Been working regularly, darts on a Tuesday, out for a spin on a Sunday, and the odd visit to the pub! No news is good news though so will leave it there.
Thinking of you all and sending much love. xxxxx

P.S. Great photos from the graduation. Thanks Annie. Very proud Aunty here as well! xxxx

another grandchild graduates

So here are some pictures from Lucy's graduation on Wednesday. It was a lovely day. I started crying as soon as she was in her cap and gown, and on and off throughout the ceremony. It was great that Kate was there as well. Yay for Lucy! Am very proud of our girl!

greetings from the south coast

Hi all
So what amazing bloggers we all are. OK everyone is on facebook, so I should just get with the program, is that it??

Well OK if someone cn think of an incredibly origin and interesting name for me to go by on facebook, I will sign up, but what bout dad and mum, they will miss all the news.

So its a beautiful Saturday morning, and Ive enjoyed a walk and swim on the beach. Very low low tide, great for running on the beach. Now its really a bti too warm to venture into gardening, so will head up to visit friends who have just made tiles  for their bathromm. Give me some inspiration to get cracking with my bathroom tiling. Hasi has started building some retaining walls in the garden so will probably mosaic them first. Actually should visit my friends via the demolition shop to see what quirky old tiles they have on offer.

Thank you to Lucy for having me as one of her guests at her graduation this last week. I was so damn proud of that gorgeous young woman.

Ok off to the demolition shop.
Annie did say she would throw up some grad photos on the blog, so stay tuned...

Love to anyone who is still reading this blog
Long live the blog
