Hubby's week off







Well my husband had a week off last week as it was his birthday & even though we did'nt go awat we did go out some days. On monday we stayed close to home by going to a place called Godington house where they had a celebration of delphiniums which were fantastic.



the gardens were fantastic especially as there were stunning dragonflies on the lily ponds.



We took nettie and a friend called Wendy who is a fantastic artist who really makes you laugh.



I think we must have been slow as we missed out on the cream teas so ended up coming back here for Mr kiplings fondant fancies.



We also went to a place called whitstable which is a beautiful seaside town where we found a lovely place on the seafront to eat. It was a bit up market as fish and chips were fourteen pounds. ouch .



We also went to folkstone harbour where they have been doing a massive clean up on the harbour itself so we can now see the bottom of the beach , No rubbish so lets hope it remains this way.



I then finished off the week with the charity moonlight walk which was really good even though I only raised £155 pounds but every penny counts.



I believe we raised 50 thousand in total for our local hospice that Nettie and I help out at.

Fathers Day weekend

Well those fellas out there who love football have got it made this weekend as they have a good excuse to sit & watch the footie in peace.
Weather permitting we are doing the barbi thing on sunday with a few family & friends so I had better make sure there are some yummy puddings to go round. one at least best be banoffi which usually goes down well.
I have made some fathers day cards for others but sadly i left it too late with the light to photograph them so will have to post at a later date.
We took 2 of our grand children to chessington last weekend along with my husband & the biggest kid of all was chris with Nettie & I coming up the rear.
Nettie was the bag lady due to her size & not being able to get in most rides.
She did however come on the skylight ride which we all love.
As I said chris was the biggesr kid encouraging little sydney to stay put when the ride was over so that they went round again, I just happened to be on the runaway train at the end of the day & the controller sent us round 5 times without a break. Yes I came off feeling sick but not the others.
Have a fantastic weekend
LOL Mandy xx
