I was sat talking to my husband John who is researching our family tree just how happy it would have made my mum to see a photograph of her grandmother . I have mum’s photograph in the lounge and often talk to her. I said “ you would have loved to see what John is bringing up in our family tree Mum” when a butterfly flew on to our patio door.
It sat there for ages even when I walked up close to take a photograph.❤️
This is the photograph of my great grandmother ❤️
I’m coming back as a cat 🐈
After getting up this morning I decided enough was enough. It’s four and a half months ago tomorrow since I had my surgery and I’ve never felt better, the only problem is I now enjoy eating again and I’ve piled on sixteen pounds 😬
So after a hearty breakfast 🙄 ( I have to eat ) I set off to do a walk . We are very lucky where we live because nearby we have a river, a canal, a train station, the countryside and a small town with a large new Lidl supermarket. So basically we have everything on our doorstep.
I took some photographs with my phone to show you what is nearby.
The allotments, we live in the apartment block shown at the top right hand corner, I usually take my photographs from there!
There’s nothing like the sea to lift your spirits. ☺️
The day started off quietly
Dark clouds looming
it’s looking very green outside the apartment with all the recent rain
The chickens appear to be growing bigger by the day!
They are getting very adventurous, they like to squeeze through the railings. I went to our car the other day they surrounded the car 🚗
I thought they were going to climb in the car at one point. 😳
The perfect view from Holme Moss, Holmfirth, England
The chickens were happily walking around the field this morning
Then the children came into the field to play. The chickens were not happy so now they’re keeping out of the way whilst plotting their revenge!
The chickens are busy planning what to have for Sunday lunch 😏 perhaps it’s a game called last on the table 😬
I knew there was a reason for last nights chicken meeting!
She won the draw to ride in the pedal car! “……………
Meanwhile the other four were not impressed and refused to push her around the field!
The chickens are having a meeting inside the large swing outside my apartment window. I wonder what’s on the eggenda 🐔 😉
It’s absolutely pouring down which I love, the chickens however are now sheltering under the trampoline .
Meanwhile in Greece my granddaughter is ….
It’s much cooler here today thank goodness. We managed to get a good sleep 😴
Meanwhile the chickens after walking around the field a few times are now sat on top of their home! Chickens are quite fascinating to watch!
I had to smile when I looked out of the window this morning when I saw one of the free range hens had somehow got into the children’s trampoline!
When it had finished bouncing all the chickens decided to walk towards the fence where the cat was sat watching! there was no casualties because the cat just likes to observe 🤭
It’s been raining most of the day today ☔️☔️ which has cooled the apartment down a little thank goodness. Hopefully I will get a good nights sleep 😴
My grandson was soon on my iPad painting 😇
A chip off the old block for flower paintings 😊
My granddaughter was busy writing lists in preparation for going on holiday.
and then …………..
Wait for it …………………..
she then decided to do a bit of photography.
Here is a beautiful photograph of me and her brother!!!
we look so alike 😉
Only six weeks left to go!
I took these photographs at 10.15pm last night, the moon looked orange to the naked eye but not through my iPad lens.
The view from my window. Amazing clouds today and the allotments ( market gardens) are looking good.
I had the door open today in our apartment it was so lovely . I love how the tree is framed by the doors.
I had to be quick and grab my iPad to take a photo of this heron who took a stroll up the brook today. It’s a bit blurry because my glasses are in the opticians for a week to ten days. I can use my painting glasses but I need my arms stretched out to capacity to focus on anything 😉
By 12.30 am the car park had dried up due to the strong winds. This morning the view out of my window looks almost back to normal
Unfortunately the allotments/ market gardens which are just to the side of our building took a hit with the overflow. I feel so sorry for the individuals who tend their small holdings.
Everyone has moved their cars now from outside the apartment block because the river is now overflowing! I wonder if there will be any ducks 🦆 swimming on it tomorrow. Thank goodness we live on the second floor and we have plenty of biscuits and chocolate in the apartment 😉
