Happy 10th Birthday Anya.

Happy Birthday Anya, we love you to the moon and back. 
It was Anya's 10th Birthday on Easter Sunday.  As we are not allowed to visit due to the coronavirus and social distancing rules I didn't get to take photos of her on her birthday this year.  These are a few from previous birthdays.

Easter 2020.

We are still social distancing and isolating so it was a very quiet Easter, stay home, stay safe. 

I saw this cute little Peter Rabbit in the IGA at Longford, so he came home with me.

I made Hot Cross Buns.

The Easter Bunny left gifts at work today.

My lovely friend Maureen, has been busy crocheting budgies.  How gorgeous are they.

We can't visit Mum at present, as the nursing home is in lockdown.  

I dropped some goodies off for her, and the nurses

 sent a text message with a photo.  Mum looks happy :-)

I hope you all had a lovely Easter too.

Autumn 2020

A lovely start to Autumn 2020, then things get busy with the Coronavirus.  Stay home, stay safe.

The beautiful crocuses are flowering early May/April.

We had a little visitor outside.

A morning in Stanley.

On our way home from Smithton we stopped at Stanley for the morning.  The weather was lovely and we had a great time.

First stop was Highfield House circa 1830.

Very nicely restored to a high standard.
