ROCKING YOUR WORLD FRIDAY - 14TH OF 2022

 Morning all tis Friday time for

Well let's note the positives from the last 7 days, first up is catching up on scrapbooking, I'm determined to catch up which involves in the first instance catching up on 2021 to begin with, I've had great fun doing layouts recently. 

I was unsure about this one but it turned out to be one of my favourites. 

and this is the current stack of 2021 I have about 13 layouts still to complete and then I can get them put away in albums and make a start on 2022. 

Strangely last weekend we had nothing planned (I know most unlike us), we spent a few hours at my Mum's on Friday catching up and putting the world to rights and caught up with my sister. 

On Saturday we decided to have a split day of jobs around the house and garden and then a chilled out afternoon. 

Hubby cleared the moss off the extension room and cleaned out the guttering, I cleared out the garden store, he also trimmed the little conifers on the front and we both tidied up afterwards. 

In the afternoon I made some scrapbook layouts. 

Hubby made a very very naughty dessert of a bread and butter pudding but made with hot cross buns and we had it with vanilla ice cream. 

Sunday we woke and had booked to go to YSP, we did the long route despite the fact that there is nothing in the long gallery which we recently learned is actually owned by the Arts Council.

The lake looked beautiful with the blue skies, but the wind was decidedly bracing. 

We stopped for a rest at the top of the David Nash steps and enjoyed the sky above us

We saw the original Andy Goldsworthy hanging trees

and came across one of the felled trees from recent storm damage

The man is still up on the hill 

The highland cows said hello

We could see the new Andy Goldsworthy piece from a fair distance

and we were pleased to find it wasn't fully enclosed (he has another piece in the park that is and it drives hubby nuts). 

Other happy moments is just having time with hubby we genuinely have spent a huge amount of time recently laughing and it makes my heart sing. 

Spending time with my future daughter in law also makes me feel very blessed

Said 21 year old still grafting really hard with his final brief for Uni and holding down 2 jobs - I really could not be prouder of him. 

I hope you have had a lovely week. 

ROCKING YOUR WORLD FRIDAY - 13TH OF 2022

 

Good Morning lovely people tis Friday time for

First up is spending some quality time with my Mum in her garden, it was a beautiful warm spring day so we set to on her greenhouse, my Mum had great fun growing lots of lovely vegetables in it last year, but it needed a good spring clean, this was before

and this was after and as you can see my Mum was very very happy. 

Last Thursday night me and hubby headed out to the local theatre and had pre-theatre dining again which was lovely, hubby looks a bit pensive but I promise the pudding was lovely! 

The play was Goodnight Mister Tom and was really well done I honestly shed a few tears.  

On Sunday said 21 was working and so hubby treated me to a tapas Mother's Day lunch

I received flowers from hubby

And said 21 year old and his fiancee bought me this (which I've not tried yet but very excited)

and these beautiful flowers (and a chocolate bar - but that didn't last long enough to photograph)

The next positive was the road was clear despite this view this morning. 

Work proved pretty as well but it really was incredibly cold. 

We also had a lovely visit to Chatsworth last Friday which I almost forgot about, the interior of the house has lots of artwork which is fantastic

We went up the Belvedere and saw some great sights off the roof and spotted this Blue John crystal window on the way up

We enjoyed the pretty rainbow near the weeping willow and had a lovely walk around, it was a fabulous day. 

I hope you have had a lovely week.
