Is that what a Bull looks like Mum

Found some pictures of Nin when he was a puppy he is nearly eight years old now but still has that charming look ~

Roxy was a rescue dog ~ he was so obedient and really well behaved ~ he took to Nin the minute he saw him ~~ and they were great buddies.

Nins predessor was also a Jack Russell named Tiny he was 17 years old when he died ~  we were not going to replace him ~~

"So two weeks later we got Nin" lol.

We had to ~ as Roxy was missing his Buddy so much and was lost without him.

We took Roxy along and he chose Nin ~~ they were buddies for two years then Roxy Died.

We then did the same thing and took Nin along and he chose Barney - the Chap stood there holding 3 tiny puppies in his arms - Nin sniffed all three but Barney was his no 1choice.  By the time we got home Barney was this wet bundle of fur ~ where Nin had licked him from head to toe...and from that day on they have been like brothers.

Just slipped in this picture of Lyn ~ read the notice on the gate ~ made us smile...

 

 

Raft Race

 

We were entered into a Charity Raft Race - and the apprentices were given the task of building it.....

This took place on a Sunday,  so wearing my best clothes - A Sack Dress and a Life Jacket - hair in pigtails went down to the River.

Climbed aboard the raft - and waited for the go signal.

As soon as we took off we were bombed with flour bags - it just covered us all and we looked liked ghosts.

as we made our way up river - the Fire Brigade were very helpful getting rid of the flour for us - they waited for us to come along side of them and hosed us down with water...It was so strong that it knocked me and a couple of the other girls into the water...

We had a Great day and although we didn't win there were a lot behind us....As I have been told many times it is not the winning but the taking part that counts...

After the event finished we all trundled into the Pub soaking wet but very happy...

Fishing

 

My how photographs can bring back memories.....This was a day Match and a Sunny day as well - Otherwise I wouldn't have been fishing -

I only like Warm Sunny days - so you cannot call me a real fishing person...as a real fishing persons brave all Kinds of weather...

Can recall so clearly my catch that day...not the tiddlers but my best catch of the Season..A Bream....

The Lake we are fishing is a very short drive away from where we now live only takes 5 minutes in the car to get there...

This particular Lake is in the grounds of a Pub..

The Lake belonged to Dicks employers "A Brewery" who also owned the Pub..

and the Fishing Club were lucky enough to be able to have sole use of it...

  Reminder

Don't Forget Task: Optician
Tuesday 21 February 2006   17:56

Here is a classic - as I get my appointments all wrong I decided to use the "Remind Me" on my Toolbar.......For the first time ever...

Above is a reminder for my Optician's appointment - tomorrow.

I asked for it a day early - so I would be prepared...

Funny thing is they offered me an earlier appointment last week...so I now don't  need the reminder for to-morrow...

But it makes the future look brighter for my appointments - maybe, just maybe I will be on top of them all....

Proof if you need it

 

I have always believed that Children like Box's better than it's contents...and to prove my point the two pictures above clearly uphold my belief...

That Box was played with on every visit  the Grandchildren made.....It had a window so you could see out - and holes where the arms could go through..it was carefully put in the Garage each time before they left  -

Until the next visit  when it was the first thing to come out to be played with - it was a "Space Ship" - a "Boat "-A "plane" a "train" and  "Tank" - but it fitted in to every game they played whatever they wanted it to be It became..

Until it eventually fell apart and was disguarded to the rubbish bin.

Now they are looking for another box seems they must have one to continue there games.. but the box needs to be a bit bigger than the last one...as they have grown a few inches since then.

What fun they had with that old box...and their Grand dad

St Peters Mancroft and other things

When I went to Norwich last week I took these photographs of the Street where I spent my youth....and some of the happiest days of my life.

St Peters Mancroft - The Forum and the house where I lived are all on the same Street..

I was walking in front of the Forum although it seems quite empty there were crowds of Children who were on Half-term from school.

They were playing on their Skate Boards - which really isn't allowed as it can be quite dangerous to the public..

I stood admiring the Forum it really is a lovely building.

When all of a sudden I had this terrible pain in the back of my leg...one small lad was doing a spin and separated himself from his skate board which ended up hitting my leg..

He was of course full of apologies - and I could have cried (But I didn't)...

I was meeting Tom at two o'clock and only had a few minutes to get to our meeting place.

How I got there I really don't know, but I did..I then had a look at my leg which had already come up with a beautiful long Bruise..Which was turning to a horrible  purple colour.

Tom wanted to go back and have a go at the lad, but I was pretty sure he would have left the area. and they do not have anywhere to play on their skateboards. which is a shame as it leaves them no alternative but to play on the streets.

Anyway the bruising is subsiding now - still sore though...I was lucky as it could have broken my leg..(But it didn't)

The Children are back at school now so may make another visit soon.
