St Ives part 2

The rest of the week. I did actually take 350 photographs, so narrowing them down took quite a while!

Feb. 21st - Every year we take a sunset picture of all the adults & children on our week away. This is the adults taken by the children.

Feb. 20th - There are always lovely daffodils on sale in St. Ives. Mark always buys me a couple of bunches.

A week in St. Ives

The first half of the week.
Feb. 17th - Sing-a-long Mama Mia night was a highlight of our holiday. We all had a good laugh singing loudly and, in my case, out of tune.

Feb. 16th - Grace playing in the surf. It was sunny but the water was COLD!

Feb. 15th - I could wake up every morning to that view. St. Ives harbour. Look how sunny it was.

Feb. 14th - I left Mark a little message in the sand. Luckily he saw it before the tide came in.

Feb. 9th onwards

I got really far behind because I did not have access to the internet when I was away. I managed to use my time to knit socks instead! Not quite finished yet.

Feb. 13th - Another loo roll card. I love making these.

Feb. 12th - snowflake wall display at school.

Feb. 11th - It is still quite snowy & icy around town. Poor ducks they must be frozen.

Feb. 10th - Another card for someone at work. It is made from loo rolls again.

Feb. 9th - Coffee at Costa. They are getting ready for Valentine Day. I posterized the image on http://www.picnik.com/ because I took the photo on my camera and it was pants!

Feb. 8th - a little sign of love I left on my husband's car. It made my finger very cold!

Shimelle's doing another brilliant class

Just a quick heads up for an online class that Shimelle Laine & the Garden Girls are doing is over at http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/ There is lots of info on Shimelle's websitewww.shimelle.com and the sign up is http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/74400/

For anyone who hasn't done one of these courses before I can thoroughly recommend them. They are great fun and good to do if your mojo is running a bit light.

Snowy week

This week we had snow off and on. The South has been at a standstill and children have had a lot of fun. There were many opportunities for photographs and I have been snapping madly. These are just a few to give you a taste of the week.

Feb. 7th The snow was still lying and was frozen hard. Note the bin men were unable to get down our street and we have had no mail for 4 days.

Feb. 6th Schools were all closed. The kids were delighted to have another day off. We walked into town but it was very slushy on the way back.

Feb. 5th Most schools were closed but we were at school. Pauline showed off her new wellies. We did snowball science, snow poetry, made sparkly snowflakes and build a snow scooby doo!

Feb 4th Church Green with a touch of frost.

Feb 3rd Just a little snow. Enough to make this little snowman for the Foundation class. They took him inside so he did not get cold!

Feb 2nd How did my gorgeous boy become 9! It seems like 5 mins ago that he was my baby.

The weekend

32/365 1st Feb. I had a little photo session with Rosie & her friend down at the lakes. There is a really cool underpass with lots of graffiti, which makes a good background. You just have to make sure you don't stand next to anything rude!

31/365 31st Jan. I thought I would periodically record the price of petrol. It was so changeable last year. At least it is now down to under £1.00 a litre. I paid 88.9p per litre of unleaded. That should last me the week.
