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.

 

Childrens Shoes

 Special purchase

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

 Never worn them Shoes

I bought these in a sale and they are waiting for the ones I am wearing now to wear out

 Summer Shoes



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.

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.

Friday

Activity or relaxing

Our holidays are neither very active or too relaxing

We love to visit places and hate lying in the sun

Our days of rambling holidays are past us now although I have a friend who is a few years older than me walked the Nepal Trail last year. She came to see us yesterday and said she didn't know how she did it

This holiday was in Tenerife last year staying with friends

Very relaxing

 

 

Saturday

Childhood Trips

Mum and dad took us away every year of our childhood.

I'm not sure which holiday this is.

I'm the older one with my baby sister, Mary

I would have been about 4 years old and look very serious because (it was discovered when I started school) I needed glasses and squinted to see.

Sunday

Fantasy Holiday guest

 

Jim Rockford was my hero when I was younger

I loved watching him in Maverick and The Rockford Files
