Summer out and about

I've had a busy week this week. Sewing Tuesday, Crafting Wednesday and to A Coeliac meeting tonight.

Summer Shopping

I finished making this bag this week and cut out about 4 more to make for presents

Summer Clothes

One of the girls in the group finished making this lovely little dress for her daughter.

Do you think it looks well on Roland.



Sunrise

 Sunset

A bit cloudy this week to take good photos of sunrise and sunset

I'll try again over the weekend.

Frequently visited place

This could have been Asda, Morrisons or Aldi, my bed, my seat or the garden but after thinking all week about this I have chosen this photo.

My Frequently Visited Place

The cupboard where I keep the tea and coffee.

 

Friends and Seasons Outfit

I went to Blackburn today to visit my friend Brenda.

We went to an outlet centre called Boundary Mill in Colne at the end of theM65.

There is a Fish and Chop there that does gluten free batter so of course we had to go and have fish and chips and a glass of Dandelion and Burdock.

We felt quite decadent.

Friends

My GF fish - really very tasty. I've not had Fish and Chips for a long time

We then went round the outlet centre and I found a cotton blouse in M&S that will do for both Summer and Winter for only £9 - a bargain.

Not exactly my favourite summer outfit

but certainly my coolest



Meal and feet first

I'm a bit mixed up this week (nothing new there)

 

Today we went to buy Olivers new shoes for school and while we are at the retail park we went into a new café. The Ultimate café inside the Ultimate Outdoor store. They made gluten free food that is very good so we had to try it.

This seasons favourite meal

 pancakes with Maple syrup and ice cream

catch up

It is going to take me a few days to catch up for the last 2 weeks.

I couldn't up load any photos while we were away.

We had a lovely holiday, but I've got a pile of ironing waiting and I don't feel like doing much at the moment.

 

Through my bedroom Window

Of course not the window at home but our apartment bedroom window in Soriana

The mirror in the second bedroom

A Shop Window

Not exactly a window or a shop, it's a restaurant but I loved this slogan

I hope you can see it.

Not What it Seems

A cupboard in the corner of our bedroom

 was not what it seemed

Something interesting seen through a window

Through the window of a car on one of our travels

That is a castle

There were lots of castles, mansions and towns on hills in Umbria.

Window View

The Alps from the plane window

Tomorrow I will catch up on this last week.

 



Through my kitchen window

This week we are looking through a window or in a mirror

Today it is

Through my kitchen window

My little box trees are in need of a trim

 

Today is our little grand daughters 1st Birthday. It doesn't seem like a year since she was born.

 

 



Sunday From Behind.

Catch up day today as I have been very busy.

Roland went to pick up our youngest daughter on Friday to bring her here so she could pick up the C1

She stayed over until today and we spent yesterday visiting the rest of the family, We visited a new house, Catherines, 2 toddlers, Jaynes,  and 2 new babies, Nikkis and Dans so Jen could have a cuddle.

She'd already visited young Roland and his family the evening before.

BEHIND A FLOWER

It had been raining this morning so I got a few drops of rain on me when I tried to take this photo.

I love the effect the raindrops have on the back of this poppy which has appeared from our birdseed.

 



Back View of a Landmark

We were going past Preston North End Football Ground today and I thought of how it would fit in to todays prompt so we went back so I could take some photos

Tom Finney is our local hero. He is a Prestonian and only ever played  football for Preston North End and for England in the 50's. This statue of him is out side the front of the Stadium and was erected when the Stadium was renovated a few years ago.

Tom Finney only died last year and the the whole city mourned for him

 The side of the football stadium as I couldn't get far enough away to take a photo of the back

All the buildings under the stands are used by businesses, ,this is a gym club, there is even a restaurant. The whole of the back of the stadium is used by the NHS to treat people with long term illnesses



A Group of people from behind

I haven't been anywhere much today so I have dug out a photo from my archives

This was from when we travelled on a steam train last year.
