Wonderful Weekending

A wonderful weekend of saying Goodbye to Summer and Hello, Welcome to Autumn.
A celebration of the Seasons.

Firstly, Saturday afternoon bought some much longed for new additions, years of N not being keen to add to the family,in the form of some feathered friends, ended with a small " For Sale " sign a couple of weekends ago at a local fete.
The sign turned out to have been placed by people we know, selling lock, stock and barrel ... the girls.

4 chickens .. now known as Yoko, Linda, Patty and Barbara, wives and girlfriends of The Beatles, inspired by L, my Beatle mad boy.


I have wanted chickens for as long as I can remember, so this really has been a dream come true.

O welcomed "the girls" by reading them all of his books that have chickens in, they seemed to appreciate it.



Sunday morning, up and out early, to Wragby Gala.
A day of country fare, plenty of farm animals for O, dream cars .. see above, Morris 1000 Traveller ( I'm working on it ! ) and sunshine.





Home for a cup of tea, pick up another picnic and to add some extra layers of clothes.
Then, off to a lovely Country Hotel for a Proms evening in the grounds with Cleethorpes Brass Band.


Fantastic setting and amazing music, loved the James Bond medley.





A rather dark and dramatic end to a fabulous evening and amazing weekend.

I still get a sense of excitement when I check for eggs. When I saw the photo of the Morris 1000 I thought it was yours packed with goodies you had bought. That would be lovely.
