This is a wonderful poem by our brilliant Pam Ayres. She writes so many funny poems, but this one had me laughing out loud. I do hope you all enjoy it. The missus bought a Paperback, down Shepton Mallet way, I had a look inside her bag;... T'was "Fifty

Thought another poem by Pam Ayres wouldn't go amiss - you have to hear her really because it's so funny with her accent..... Oh, I wish I’d looked after me teeth, And spotted the dangers beneath All the toffees I chewed, And the sweet sticky food. Oh, I

As you probably already know - my son and his lovely wife, Stevie, celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Sunday 1st March and they went away for a few days to enjoy themselves. They had this photo taken yesterday and I think it's one of the

Well Mandi is still in Turkey and she's applied for the residency permit and after a lot of struggling to go from one department to another with the necessary paperwork, they finally managed to get all done and notarised yesterday. So in about 2 weeks she

I've had to choose my photo for this week's theme, but yet again I've struggled to decide which one. I've spent hours looking through my albums this afternoon and in my mind I can see the photos I'm trying to find, but can I find them - er no..... So

Today arrived with gorgeous blue skies and sun to go with it. It was lovely and warm for the first time in months. .............. I decided to get out in the garden and see what's going on there.......... accompanied of course by two cats............

Well yesterday the sun came out and it was too enticing to stay indoors. So I picked the camera up and decided to visit Instow. At least there I can sit on the bench and watch the dogs having a great time on the beach. As you can see from my pictures -

I had to visit my gorgeous dentist today for my 6 monthly checkup. Yuri is from Bulgaria, not quite as gorgeous as Ivan but such a sweet nature and so it's a pleasure to go and see him - this is me talking about being quite happy to visit a dentist!

Mandi and Dogan have been trying for the last two years to get her a residential visa for Turkey and at last it's come............ The smiles say it all when you look at their happy faces............ This means that she can come and go as many times as

While I was thinking about it - I remembered how beautiful Yashi is [where Mandi lives] and this is the view you see of it when you come back down the hill after shopping.... Then it reminded me of what Mandi told me a couple of days ago - she was

Hi this is my final contribution to the theme. I have so many flowering and fruit trees in my garden and I have taken loads of photos of them at various times of the year, so I've had a hard job just deciding which one to show. I'll show two here, but

Oh I don't watch much sport, in fact very little really, but I do love my car racing. Formula 1 has been away from our sets since November and it's been really a very very long time for me. Withdrawal symptoms and all that ...... LOL Anyway today in

Busy day for me today in comparison to what I usually have going on. I had to visit the dentist again - last one until August - boo hoo.LOL. Dear Yuri did the final clean up of my teeth. He made me jump a couple of times - got the gum instead of the

Well today has come and almost gone, and it was supposed to be one to remember for a long time - an eclipse. I'd sorted out my camera and had got the calendar on my phone reminding me about the eclipse. The media has been banging on relentlessly about

This week is the start of a new project - and it's 'triangle' for week one. So here are my contributions to this week........... As we can only submit one picture per week - I am posting the last picture - the sea because it's a naturally shaped

I have been doing on-line grocery shopping lately because walking around the stores pushing an awkward trolley and then carrying the bags to the car and then into the house makes my back protest loudly and it means I have a couple of days when I'm fit for

The sun was shining beautifully today - I decided that I'd pop out down to the beach, just for a few minutes - but when I poked my head outdoors - brrrrrrrrrr the wind was strong and freezing............ I know they warned that it would be chilly, but

No easing up yet of the cold wind here, and I really didn't feel like going out in this weather. So while the car was running - to charge the battery - I decided to inspect the driveway to see if any new growth was appearing...... There were...........
