Camera crisis...

... a bottle of water in my bag... the camera in my bag... water emptied itself in my bag... need I say more?

Managed to retrieve some pics before it died, and now we are camera-less until next week sometime.

... outside Kidderminster Police Station... we went in to show our Cop Cards, all 25 of them, but the competition had ended :o( O well c'est la vie!

... a sunny afternoon at the park... we also played tag and had icecream...

... always picking up the many craft books I have around, Bubs decided to try out the making of Bobby Pins... here's the finished result of a daisy, very pretty!

... I love looking at this picture carved in the stone work in Sainsburys coffee shop... it depicts the carpet industry...

... Bubs and I actually saw a canal boat coming up the lochs outside Sainsburys, the first time we've got there in time to see it!

On the camera...

Here's what's been on the camera from the last couple of weeks...

... shrub at the front of the house... it's been lovely - it didn't bloom last year... 

... garden of poppies at Spike's school... I really love poppies!

... a field of buttercups at the Severn Valley Country Park... I really love buttercups too!!

... hot days = playing in the sprinkler, running in and out!

... drinking from Ethelfleda's well...

... and icecream and rolling down hills at the Severn Valley Country Park...

... the weather turned... heavy rain and thunder (hence Spike's earmuffs!)... blocked drains = swimming pool in the drive and wellies in order to get to the car!

... what we see from the kitchen window... a train passing!! (it was on a lorry!) and an army ambulance...

... a bit of spare time work for a card... it was fun, and I was pleased with the finished result...

... Bubs went off to bowling with a friend on their birthday, so Spike and I went bowling too... the camera never seems to take good photos in the bowling alley. Spike beat me! But it was a set-up... when it was his turn the bumper bars came up; the instant it was my go, the bumpers went down - so unfair!

... helping out at Hartlebury Castle with the History Club...

Bank Holiday Monday

We headed for Avoncroft, to see a bit of re-enactment to do with the Wars of the Roses, and for a look around...

Bubs in the Mission Hall... they use it for CofE services from time to time now...

Bubs and Grama in the windmill... Spike refused to go up! But I managed to get a sneaky of picture of him whilst we waited for the others to come down...

The soldiers drilling... it was fun to watch, and a little scary too when they came charging toward us! The place is so much more fun to walk around when there are folk in period costumes wandering around - it makes it come to life more...

... tut tut... naughty girl!

They always have most fun in the telephone kiosks, phoning each other up!

A fun ride on a wee train... this wasn't open last time we went, so a nice treat...

... some beautiful blossom... no idea what it is, but it was all over the place and the bees were really enjoying it!
