Mo was sitting in the garden the other evening, and there was a big black cloud overhead.  I thought I’d sneak out and take a photo of her, as it looked so funny.
Just for your information, I don’t wear slippers as such.  This is what I wear.  slipper socks with non slip under the feet.  [...]

Do you remember me telling you that our next door neighbour demolished his garden?  Then we found out that it was because he was going to renovate his house.  Well it’s all finished and they are now living there again.  I must admit that he has done a wonderful job of doubling the size of [...]

Remember the disappearing garden?  Well now we know why.  Just look at it now.  It obviously had to be cleared before work started.

This is not just an ordinary extension our neighbour is having built.  This is a house enlargement!  The extension was built higher than the house, and yesterday Mo said.  “It looks funny.  I [...]

We were really shocked, and sad, when we looked out of our back window today.  Our next door neighbour is having an extension built on the side of his house.  It’s a corner house and he has a very large back garden, which extends around the side, so we can see that a side extension [...]

Remember our invasion of the shrooms?
They came back a couple of months ago but the weather was too hot and they shrivelled up within a day.  I was a bit disappointed because they look quite nice in the garden.  Well they’re back again!  You can’t keep a good shroom down!

I promised you I’d get the camera next time there was an accident in our house didn’t I?  Well I am true to my word – this time.

My mum and dad loved their garden.  They tended it lovingly, planting all sorts of flowers and shrubs, including some lovely daisies that were mums pride and joy.  She loved them and they grew in abundance.
This photo was taken on August 4th 1984.  It was mums last birthday and we organized a garden party, inviting [...]

Look what we found in our front garden!

A baby blackbird, well Mo said his mum was a blackbird, so I must assume he was also.  He was in a tree right by our window and obviously couldn’t fly.  He was chirping away and his mother was circling around and coming down to feed him.
Then his [...]

At Christmas, our neighbour hung some fairy lights on a tree at the bottom of his garden which, in effect, is also the bottom of our garden.  They are still there, flashing and blinking at us each time we look out of the window.
It’s only a couple of months, you might say.  You’d be wrong!  [...]

If you haven’t already, you might want to read part 1 before reading this.
Part 2
Somehow we managed to clean the flat up and make is habitable.  Once we got our furniture in, it looked OK, though not as nice as our first flat.  We had made all our furniture to fit our previous flat and [...]
