Sunday Shoes

 
Catching up with myself today. We got back from Jen's last night and have had Oliver today.
The one thing I forgot to do was take a photo of her boys shoes so I took one of Olivers trainers today.

I bought these for Jennies wedding about 10 years ago and they have come out for every wedding since. I love them

Shoes

This week Roland and I are visiting our youngest daughter, Jen.
She had a bad leak in her shower which is now fixed and Roland is painting the kitchen ceiling to hide the water mark. He has also painted the bathroom ceiling because all the steam had made the paint peel.
The kitchen also needs some new paper in the corner of the room where the leak was.
 
 
I will need to catch up on my shoe photos when I get home
Every day shoes
 House shoes slippers really
 
Shoes Dream
These shoes are actually my daughters
It is hard to believe but I used to wear shoes like this when I was her age until well into my 40's
I hurt my back about then and couldn't wear stillettos any more.

Views from ground level

I'm really busy this week trying to decorate jigsaw pieces ready for a retreat I'm going to at the beginning of October. There are 12 pieces, each one with a different theme for a different person.

Changing Seasons

Catching up

We had a wonderful time in Bulgaria and it was lovely to see Borqna and her family.
Bulgaria is a beautiful country and I would recommend a visit to anyone.

So I am going to mix photos of our visit with the photos of the changing seasons that I have.
