I've noticed that you have removed your blog and I just wanted to say, in case you still pop in, that I am thinking of you and yours and hope that all is well. Maybe our paths will cross again one day.

Best wishes are sent your way, Pj xx

Smiling is infectious

You catch it like the flu

When someone smiled at me today

I started smiling too

I walked around the corner

And someone saw me grin

When he smiled I realised

I had passed it on to him

I thought about the smile

And then realised its worth

A single smile like mine

Could travel round the earth

So if you feel a smile begin

Don't leave it undetected

Start an epidemic

And get the world infected.

The best place to sleep...

Maurice discovered my material bag whilst I was sewing.

The best food ...

He couldn't resist licking the bottom of the creme fraiche pot. 
Ella turned her back on him in disgust!

Help, my tongue isn't long enough!!

...Lettuce takes the opportunity to go exploring.

Maurice sunning himself on the flowerbed this morning and yes I did push him off - he was squashing the flower seedlings!

This is Ella, our absolutely scatty cat. 

And this is Maurice, her very chilled brother.

Please bear with me I'm a complete novice at this, but I'm trying not to be left behind by my children
