Seasonal Busyness
A corner of my sofa .. full of the season .. knitting, sewing, brochures ( just booked tickets for a certain little lady to go see Strictly Live ) ribbon, beads, magazines.
Trying to keep all of this out of O's little grasp is busyness in it's self !
A delightful Sunday afternoon gp forum style, much chatter, soup & bread, cake ( lots ! ) much laughter, children playing ( they were 19 of them ) cups of coffee and tea aplenty and swapping of jams and chutneys ..... perfect.

Counting my Smiles
Today seems like a good time to " count my smiles "
Naughty giggles at Home Ed Drama Group with the other Mamas.
A fantastic Son through to the Regional Finals for Enterprise Week .... and boy has he come up with a good idea.
Sneaking out Circle Dancing tonight.
My wonderful "Mother Friends" ..... who are all just the Best.
A Husband returning from a week away in Africa, tomorrow ... counting down the hours.
These gorgeous Sunflowers sent from Emma & her wonderful family.
A new-to-Me bread maker ( I stupidly Freecycled mine and regretted it as the lady pulled out of our drive ! ) how happy was I to be offered another ... 2 loaves made and eaten so far.
Watching my incredible Daughter grow into a wonderful young Woman ... She's playing Eliza Scrooge in our Home Ed take on A Christmas Carol, fantastic.
New & old friendships ... all so very special.
A happy, healthy nursing Babe.
How blessed am I.
