I think I need some new teeth...











For quite a while now as you know I have struggled with problems with my teeth! I am now at the point where I am going to ask the dental surgeon to remove not only the ones that are bothering me but also the rest which will probably bother me sooner rather than later. I have more gaps than teeth already and I cannot put in the false ones because of the pain from the remaining teeth.

 There's no wonder my youngest 2 grandkids don't come near me. Although my youngest granddaughter is always smiling no matter what,

The terrible trio, my youngest three grandchildren.

Tony has been to see the Doc at the hospital, he has to go for more tests and scans before they decide what to do about the hernia. That means that no arrangements can be made again until we know.

Garden Update:

We have seen a,
Grey Wagtail

in the garden again, we used to see them a few years ago regularly. Then they just disappeared, hopefully, it may stay for a while now one is back.

Then a few days later I spotted this little beauty in the big fir tree outside the bedroom window.

A Goldcrest in the tree.



The Goldcrest is Britains smallest bird, ( I always thought it was the wren ).

Often when out and about in the car we see a man on a mobility scooter with a trailer attached to it with gardening equipment in it. We have had discussions about whether we think this is legal or not but never actually decide on it. On this particular day, he had broken down and had called a friend to help him. It just really amused me and I could not resist taking a picture.

The weather has still been very cold wet and windy, however, we have had some very nice colours in the sky. I liked the orange and yellows in this picture because it made it feel warm just looking at it.

A Warming Sky.


Well, all that's left for me to say is,

enjoy the weekend.

Until the next time...

I can't stand the rain...


The weather has been atrocious but this squirrel was not bothered, these feeders had to be emptied before he could leave them.








Oop's looks like he missed one.

Even though it has done nothing but rain, blow a gale, thunder, lighten and even throw down a bit of snow Margarets garden is still showing signs of spring.

Even the Willow Tree has buds on it.



The next snap caught my eye while we were out in the car one day. It got me to thinking...


Which came first the garage or the tree?



Lynsey, her friend and x amount of children are today boarding a ferry to Holland. All I can say is rather them than me. She has already called me to say they cannot attach the walkway to the ferry, so they are being taken across by shuttle boat. Good start, I can't wait for the next instalment.

Health Update: Tony is slowly getting better after his back op, however, his driving is still not 100%. Now he is waiting for another op because he has a hernia so most things are back on hold for a while.
I am ok my usual cheerful, happy, laid back self. Ok, when you have all finished laughing, I will carry on, the biggest problem I have at the moment is my teeth again. Oh and not being able to keep warm, right that's enough waffling for now.

Until the next time...
