Walking over the Cricket Field
The River Nidd Christmas Morning
Well hello! its been ages since I felt like writing again. Happy New Year to everyone 2011 has to be a better year, even with all the financial restrictions and threatened unemployment, we must strive make it better. Yes the thaw has come there are still some mounds of snow along the road side but its good to see the grass again , my poor Hydrangeas have been hit by the frost and I fear they will never recover. I hope you have enjoyed yourselves over the festive two weeks . I found the long weekends a bit of a drag, after all the initial excitement, over eating and frenzied activities. I did manage to get over to stay with Stu & family for Christmas, the motorway was clear, with blue skies and sunshine I made good time, there and back. No snow after all, I had a wonderful time, it felt very special to spend Christmas with them.. I will post some photos of our walk by the river Christmas day with Bob Stu’s four legged best mate . I received some great gifts and saw almost everyone I had hoped to see. Cathi rang and we had a nice long chat, they are having a heat wave and extensive flooding in Western Australia as well as in Queensland, the weather has gone crazy.. New Years Eve my friend Betty and I saw ‘We Will Rock You’ at the Palace Theatre Manchester a musical based on Queen’s songs. There was a Rock Band playing and boy it was loud, but after a while we became accustomed to it and enjoyed ourselves singing and acting like teenagers, it was a good show.
I have had a look round the Sales,70% off in some stores, but I wasn’t tempted I feel a bit jaded after all the pre Christmas shopping. Thankfully all the extra food in the house has been eaten but some temptations are is still around . I need to cut back on the chocolate as I can’t go to the gym for a while as they are closed due to a flood, so I will have to walk more this next week, hope it doesn’t rain.
