We're back on-line......

......touch wood! and it didn't take as long as we thought it would. So what have we been doing whilst we've been off line? More painting and decorating and moving of furniture. Plus a lot of de-cluttering, re-cycling and boxing up and storing lots of things that we somehow don't want to part with but don't use very often. There have been trips to the local skip, B&Q and Ikea.

We've been working in the garden when possible but the rain has made it difficult to achieve very much!

There were lots of butterflies around on the sunny days

The Japanese anenomies are in flower - the pink ones always open first - the white ones are still in bud.

I've also been reading

Watching beautiful night skies

and the latest Harry Potter film - now showing at our city museum

Also trying, unsuccessfully, to repel gorgeous but unwanted visitors

Oh, Casper!

It's good to be back although I've got a lot to catch up on so I'll be popping along to visit everyone and reading about what you have been up to over the next few days.

    Hi Rosie,

    Welcome back!

    My Mum has buddleia in her garden and she told me that it always attracts the butterflies.

    The new Harry Potter film is on my list of things to do, but I was thinking of waiting until the children go back to school so that I can enjoy it in peace!

    Is Casper yours?? A most handsome cat! And your garden looks lovely, even with the rain.

    I loved Harry Potter! So much, I've seen it twice!! And do go see Julie and Julia when you get the chance. It's delightful and you will swear Meryl Streep IS Julia Child!!

    Hi Rosie
    Glad you are back on line. I love that sky. That would match my blog perfectly!! Casper is a beautiful cat.
    I went to see Harry Potter last weekend. I really enjoyed it and thought it was the best one yet but I was sad the see the Weasley's house get burnt down. I love that house.

    We'd have settled for back, but back with a stunning vengeance is a bonus.
