On the Camera

More catching up, as our lives continue through a "season" that we could not have forsaw... we tentatively step out one day at a time...

... been doing lots of this kind of thing...

 ... and getting up at unearthly hours has provided a lot of crochet time!...

 ... field trip for Bubs and I to the Black Country Living Museum... the fish and chips were very very yummy!...

 ... the train museum at Kiddy...

 ... it was meant to be a wet walk at the Wyre Forest, but the rain ran away as soon as we got out of the car!...

 ... our free return trip to the local  Safari Park... despite going round the Safari at the same time we did on our first visit, I think we saw more animals this time round! We also visited the animals we didn't see last time (Sealions, reptiles, leopards etc) and went on the little train... and we squeezed Grama and Grampa into the car this time too...

... making the most of a sunny day with a picnic in the Clent Hills...

... tea party in the 'den'...

 ... working hard...

 ... glasses for Spike... just for reading and close work... the novelty has already worn off!...

... the prettiest tree in the garden... I so so love Autumn...

 ... History club...

... taking time out with friends...

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...
