On the Camera

Bit distracted at the moment and the past 2 weeks have passed too quickly, here's what's on the camera...

... a lovely trip on our Severn Valley Railway with dear friends..
... a trip on a tram into Birmingham, and a whistle-stop tour of Birmingham, followed by a great meal with great company!

... lovely kiddies...

... Bubs and I went to Webbs of Wychbold to the Hobbycraft store, and then had a cuppa in the cafe while learning lines for Drama class...

... crocheted baby blanket finished... the colour doesn't show up well at all on my red carpet... really enjoyed working with this yarn and crocheting up the huge Granny Square...

 ... shopping deserves a tea-break... doesn't it?!... well, when at Merryhill Shopping centre you NEED a break when trying to shop...

... a bit of 'cookie therapy' in a somewhat fraught week...

... our sunflowers are a little late in flowering this year... probably because I managed to kill most of them off with weedkiller, duh!
... my Staghorn Sumac tree is always the first to show that Autumn is fast approaching...

... 2 weeks of this... piles of sicky clothes to wash and much time in bed :o( Poor old Spike is struggling with a huge overload of anxiety since returning to school and has been making himself sick every day, several times a day... it is heart-wrenching to watch, and so very difficult to know what to do... desperately seeking wisdom from the Lord...

On the camera...

Can't believe it's September already! How time flies! Here's what was on the camera for the past couple of weeks...

... kids completed the Library summer reading scheme...

... a wonderful time with special friends... too far away in miles, but close to our hearts...

... yay! we have tomatoes this year and no blight...
.. new hamster : Lola Muffin...

... outdoor swimming pool at Highley... bit cold (heated by solar power, and it wasn't the sunniest of days!), but enjoyed by us all...

... Croome Park... lots of fresh air... lovely day out...

... visit to Kenilworth castle... had a great time there, but got stuck in traffic on the way home - it took us an hour to get there and 3 to get home! T'was a loooong day!...

... at The Melting Pot with friends... great to share time together with friends, doing fun things...

... fun with playdoh... you're never too old for this!
