Where's August gone

Can it really be the end of August in just a few short days???
Goodness, where has this year gone?

Well it's been a rather good year when alls said and done.
Graham and I have been finding quality time together.

Mawgan kindly took this photo of us together whilst we watched the truck racing.. We don't actually have many of the two of us together. Something we are definitely going to have to change.

 It is almost liberating to get to spend time doing activities we can enjoy together. This is one of the many micro/nano geo-caches around Derby. We will soon be releasing our own travel bug out into the big world. (Travel bug - a small trackable item, similar to a dogtag, that is placed in a cache and is collected and relocated by another geo-cacher)



Anne and Connor celebrated their first wedding anniversary the other day.

 So nice to see them still agruing over pokemon/digimon......
Only joking, it's transformers now ;-)









Mawgan has finished her first year at senior school and been to France with school. She seemed to fit in very well.

She appeared on stage with the Drifters (right side of photo at the front of the group right by the mic).

Now all I need to do is make a start on my xmas cards............

Birthday weekend

Hello all,

I have had an amazing weekend.
Starting with friday:

Graham and I booked friday off and went cycling around Carsington. The weather was perfect

We also managed to find eight of the ten caches hidden around Carsington. I call that a very successful day.

 

Here is a photo I took whislt caching. I used photoshop to give it an oil-painting effect. 

My wonderful hubby oiled up....... lol

On Saturday we went to town and just relaxed. When we got home Mawgan gave me my present from her, a lovely new Eeyore mug. Then Graham gave me my present from him, a nice new camera lens

So of course when we went to Donington for the Truck racing I just had to try it out.

Even lorry drivers like to do a little rubbing now and then. I think it's a great little lens.
But Mawgan had a go too:-

and took this piccie of Gray and I. Which is absolutely wonderful, as we don't have many photos of us together.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to my dear friend Debs for the lovely birthday card.

Hope all of you are well and happy
Big Huggles
