Time has caught up with us and it is now Christmas Eve. The house is straight (well my tidy) and all the food is ready to be cooked. All I need to do is get up at 5.00 (that is not a typing error!!!) to put the turkey in then back to bed. There is only Peter and I here but things still need to be done properly. Can't see my present under the tree yet!
Hope every one has a wonderful Christmas

Photos with a little instruction - no problem
What a lovely car!!!
Uploading photos from the PC is no problem - all I need to solve now is uploading them from my Ipad as that is where most of my photos are.

Bath time for some of the ducks. It doesn't get any better in our household.

A dilemma with nature
Peter and I were in the summer house (read garden shed but was originally built to be my summer house), making kitchen doors! When I saw a streak of bright blue above the pond. Seconds later out from the pond flew a kingfish bright blue and orange. Unfortunately in its mouth it had one of my fish.
Now I like birds and I do think we should let nature take its course but over the next 30 mins he came back and took 2 more fish. That decided it, out came the netting. He came back again for a fourth time but saw the netting. He made a further 4 attempts before he gave up for the afternoon.
It is lovely to see such beautiful birds but I also want to keep my fish. I am afraid he will have to go fishing in Rutland Water where are plenty of fish but of course these are probably more of a challenge as they are much bigger.
Doors are progressing!

2013 nearly over
What a busy year we have had and now it is time to look forward to next year. That is of course after Christmas! All our travels have meant that work at home is very slow but at least we can remember this year as one where we were away at least once every month. Our latest weekend away was up in the Harrogate area and what a great weekend we had, even had afternoon teas at Betty's ( and we don't "do" tea)
This month is a lot quieter only one weekend away and that was down in Milton Keynes - all the best places. Now we are looking forward to the new year with so many trips planned for 2014.
My new hobby is certainly taking up a lot of time and now I have no shortage so all sorts of jewellery. If only I could work out how to upload photos to this blog I would be able to show you.
It's a very slow learning curve for me!!!!!

Catching up
At last I am sitting down trying to catch up on what we have been doing
Travel is the most prominent thing. September saw us in Germany and then the State, Boston area. We were a little early for fall colours but some were creeping through and were spectacular.
Tonight is just my trial input so tomorrow I will get photos organised, I know you are all really keen to see holiday snaps!!!!
Home is just the same except now P is finally doing the kitchen.
love to hear your comments

Good weekend in Aachen
Just back from an excellent trip to Aachen, driving down and back was slow because it seems that all of Belgium's roads are being repaired!
We meet with lots of friends and on Friday visited the NATO base there which was very interesting
Saturday was drives in the countryside with lunch in a very nice lakeside restaurant.
Dinner on Saturday evening was in Tivoli, the local football stadium - I even managed to stand in the middle of the pitch (never been on a large football pitch before!)
Sunday's drive back to the tunnel was again slow but we finally got the train back to they UK

Another restful day
Lazy start then 2 tours of wineries. Very peasant
Black skies now looks like we are in for a thunder storm
Tomorrow we want more sunshine
