I can't believe it has been over a week since I posted! I have been a bit lacking in the mojo department, and that last week of the half term at school was really busy, including a twilight course, Staff meeting, valentine disco and Governors meeting, all after the school day finished. Needless to say I needed to switch off, and I spent most of Sunday reading (and finishing) a book that I had fallen asleep with several times during the week!
On Monday we were invited to the local Council Chambers where Meg was presented with a copy of the book in which her short story has been published (Proud Mum and Dad moment!).
Today we decided to take a trip to Dearne Valley and RSPB reserve at Old Moor. We were lucky to have some sun and we saw plenty of birds. It was lovely to get some fresh air and exercise!
As you can see the sun shone this morning and the blue sky was wonderful! It was a little less bright as the day went on, but we enjoyed watching the shovellers .
This was a rare moment when their heads were above the water and we could see those magnificent beaks. Most of the time we had this view!
There were still lots of berries in the hedgerows, but most were past their best now.
They still provided some lovely colour though.
Hope you enjoyed the photos. I will be back soon with some cards hopefully. I am still lacking in ideas, but hopefully a bit of pinterest surfing should sort me out!
Thanks for looking!
Look what I got! My dragon notes were a hit last week! Thanks Sarah (the lovely lady who gave it to me). That's twice now I've been in the top 5! Whooo hooo! Unfortunately I am not able to join in this week as I have no apricot. It feels like that song gone wrong...'Yes! I have no apricot...! Never mind! I can do the rest that are now up on the site.
If my posting gets a bit erratic you will have to excuse me, as I've got heaps to do for work. I just have to keep thinking that its all earning money to buy new stash!
A huge 'Thank You' to Lisa, who has given me these two awards. She is such a wonderful blog friend and her lovely comments are such an encouragement! I in turn want to pass them on to Lynne K, June, Lottie, Sue, Papoosue, Lisa and Guzziesue, who are all such lovely bloggers, and make blog land a better place!
I have recieved my first Blog award from Lisa. Thank you so much! I now have to think of ten people to award it to. Am I allowed to award it to people who already have one? Once I know the answer to this I will post who I intend to award it to!
