Our local park



Well the good weather is back, my garage roof has dried so out no more leaks and the insurance for the repair has been approved. Went along to see the final episode of Harry Potter in 3D, it was brilliant. Unfortunately I forgot my 3D specs so I had to buy some more to see the film. These specs are special Harry Potter 3D Specs and I love the rounded shape, they really suits me. Not the John Lennon thin wire specs but thick dark frames, sadly all the opticians are opting for squarish frames so I will have to keep looking. The film Australia with Hugh Jackman (very special guy) and Nicole Kidman (not to keen on her ) was on TV this month and I loved every minute even though I have seen it more than once. Its now on my machine forever along with Camelot, Titanic and Zivargo. Bought and downloaded my favourite singer/songwriter /pianist Peter Cincotti to my Kindle . I made a mistake in my last Blog I called it a Kimble because being my friends name I know it well.. Hahaha)

Shock and horror hearing about the massacre of the Norwegian children and the bomb blast that wrecked the city of Oslo. The fact that he was a white blue eyed blond national puts all the screening programmes for terrorist into the shade.


My best times are the beautiful early mornings when the sun is on the rise, I love to sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet. My apples are ripening fast, the experts put it down to the unusual weather earlier in the year. The apples are usually on the tree till September but it looks like a premature harvest may be on the cards if I can find the time to pick, blanch and freeze most of them before they fall off and make a mess on my patio..

The Library closures are still being debated at Council level, but the Library where I volunteer has been told it will close in March 2012. I just hope they can still use me as I really do look forward to my Friday mornings helping folks gain confidence with computers.

Various environmental organisations are asking that we all plant more wild flowers in our gardens to attract butterflies and bees as they have been in sharp decline for the past few years due to the destruction of local hedgerows and meadows. This year our local parks have had the most colourful display of wild flowers I have ever seen so I just had to take some pictures. I am sure it will encourage others to spread more of these wildflower seeds next year.

Going on holiday soon, really looking forward to seeing my friends again. Take care and enjoy whats left of the summer.
