What a noise!,a trip out the back door revealed what and who it was hovering quite low and you can see him hanging out of the door.We heard later that they were looking for an old person from the local care home who had gone walk-about,hope he didn’t spot the” weeds”growing in my back garden!!!.
Why not a trip to the Cane Workshop in Alston where you can see restored old chairs being re-caned, have a nice friendly chat with Louise and who knows you might just see something that catches your eye.
This years first full Moon its also known as the wolf Moon,apparently its the largest and brightest of the full Moons in 2010 due to its orbit it is (50,000km) closer to earth than any other full Moon making it 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter.I took this last night at about 8-30pm.
Christmas table decorations being put together by mother and son ready for taking up to Neils on Christmas day,very creative these two when they get together the last two pictures are of a large present loaded onto Santa’s Van (who could that be for !!!!) and a poor imitation of Santa!.
Makes ya sick dont it, here we are -4 last night while they (Pattie and Bruce that is) are living it up in Melbourne ,rumour has it the temperature is going to be 36 degrees C on Wednesday there in for a shock when they get home.They sent me a couple of pics one of the street where Patties daughter lives in Melbourne the tree in blossom is a Jacaranda tree” nice one Bruce”.
Ps Guys dont come home in ya shorts.
It must be that time of year when everyone goes on holiday!!our friends from Seaton Sluice “Sid and Lil” are down in York for a week with “Alice” (thats the motorhome folks) celebrating Sids birthday, too many numbers for me to remember! I think Sid parked “Alice”in a pub because they are always in one when they ring.
Tom and Jean are away in Majorca with the Grandchildren and dad Paul for a week,he must have felt he needed a holiday after sorting out our computers and installing my new program !!. Ta Mot.
Also Neil Kerry,Caitlin and Jake are on two weeks holiday in Florida ,however they managed to leave 5 yes 5 members of there family behind Molly,Polly,Dolly ,Holly and Wally in the care of Mam and Dad. (My these little Pigs can’t arf shift some stuff !!).
Yep you got it my mate” Mot”decided in his confused state of mind to update me Wordpress on me blog,its taken me years to learn how to use it in its old state so needless to say things did’nt run at all smoothly,ring” Mot” thats the answer” blast the buggers not in ” what now ! lady wife to the rescue reading help files ,burning Yorkshire puddings, house cleaning only half done but yes she got there in the end. Ta pet.
ps wait while I catch up with that Mot !!
Where to start well lets see,Bruce and Pattie are back from Australia and had a great time visiting Pattie’s family and getting smashing weather into the bargain,lots of photo’s with some rather nice ones of the local wildlife. Sid and Lil celebrated Lils 70 th at the Gosforth Park Hotel in the Ascot suite with good numbers of close friends there to wish her Happy Birthday and enjoy a great slap-up meal( yum-yum ) had to take a “provi”out for my bar tab tho and am still trying to catch me moths !.
My mate MOT had to do a re installation on yours truly’s computer which was rather hard going in fact him and Jean needed a holiday in Majorca to recover ,we collected them from the airport and said they had good weather and enjoyed the short break,that what its all about guys. This holiday business must be catching because Ang and Dan went off yesterday for a week in Lanzarote leaving us two to look after OTIS(thats the Guinea pig)
They left strict instructions on what and when to feed him ,exercise him ,and clean his dirty corner out every day.Carol and I are going to need a hol after this lot,in fact we are going over to Leighton Moss for a bit of walking and birding next week.
When the bulbs start flowering that’s the time to crank up the motorhome and get away for one of our short breaks which is just what we did last week,down the A19 into North Yorkshire stopping off just out of Osmotherly at Cod Beck for a short walk around Cod Beck Reservoir then back to the motorhome for a late lunch.Finally a short walk up the beck then off to the site to get parked up and settled for the night simple eh !. Arriving at the site there was nobody in so we decided to make ourselves at home and park up on the first pitch inspecting the ground as we do, swung the motorhome round to reverse onto the pitch halfway back I stopped (God knows why) but I ended up stuck and going no-where as you can see.
The last pic is showing yours truly delving into his wallet to pay the local farmer for his services ( o me moths !).Putting all that behind us the rest of the week was spent walking (climbing) Roseberry Topping ,the Capt Cook Monument,and spending a day with Aunty Glad.
Finally on the last day (fri) we had a look around Thirsk before making a short journey down to the Oaks fishery at Sessay to watch No 1 son having a practice session before fishing the big match on Sunday ( the smile says it all ).Sunday saw a section win with 45lb of fish. (Well done)
Yes he’s on the mend now from what we have been hearing,he was caught with his pants down and displaying his ………the other day by his good lady (gosh i hope they put them back in the right places??).However he seams quite nimble after his new hip (both sides done now) he.s nearly bionic, keep up the good work old lad and you will soon be out and about.
