After a worrying few weeks I'm pleased to say that, after his BIG operation, only yesterday, our Dad is doing very well and up for visitors! That's the best Christmas present we could wish for. His heart will be even better now than before! x

more prints done, dusted, printed and about to be posted for my friends……

I have this Festive debate every year! To Tinsel or not to Tinsel..that is the question.

I did put some tinsel on the tree last night to please 'him indoors' but it's
posh tinsel and only around the bottom- one has to compromise with these things..... x

For my Father in Laws 70th Birthday.

I missed off his hair on the first draft & quickly had to add some...thanks to 'him indoors' pointing out my mistake...oops, nearly a very embarrassing gift......Can you tell he likes golf?

Christmas card completed for my friends dog.....he'll even write them himself I think?

Merry Christmas from Henry the labradoodle.

Wedding of the Year !

The Bride was more beautiful than ever, the groom, just dashing and I co-ordinated my outfit with a few large glasses of red wine...My 9 year old niece did a choice impression of my ' wobblyness' the next day ! Must have been the last one I had that did it..........must have been ?

The Beauty Bug

Good luck to my sister Katherine Fowler who has opened her new & improved salon area for The Beauty Bug in Ansdell, Lancashire. She'll do your nails, pluck your eyebrows and even get rid of unsightly nasal hair...but I have no idea what kind of woman would get that done? honest I don't !

for lovely Laura....

Meeting a Mayoress..
