It seems such an age since I last posted even though it’s only been a matter of days…but what days they have been!
We’ve had blog meets with lovely lovely people, a Victorian experience with my family, a weekend with friends ending in a fab day at Drayton Manor Park, and all while keeping relatively sane and not wanting to kill each other.
I blumming love school holidays. Lazy mornings, busy days and nights where sleep arrives so fast because the day has been so full and so good. We are seriously knackered but it’s been worth it.
So while I’ve not been around, we have been fermenting a ton of sweet smelling blog fodder that I will sprinkle liberally over my lovely Ostrich over the next week or so. You can expect smiles, trees, bloggers, coconuts, news of an exciting trip, rude signs, queasy grandmothers, trains, gurning children, a fabulous ‘joy’ picture for Tara’s Gallery Week 7, and a small child inside the mouth of a large crocodile. But for now I will leave you with a little something I could not resist snapping, even though I had to hide it from my Dad in case he blushed. (Bad Jo)

Is it not a thing of beauty? Sighhhhhhh.

Lovely gorgeous Jay, it made me larf. What was sad was how I was surrepticiously trying to grab a picture of it while chatting to my Dad.
And surrepticiously is probably spelt wrong but ack my brain is too tired to check it. Bad Jo. x

You just can’t beat good Cock Leather. Especially in Shrewsbury.
And Ms. Scribble – your comment made me snort tea onto the keyboard. And it is my husbands key board and he is not happy. YOu have some explaining to do

Little did they know what they said or wrote down in this matter. People were very naive back then.
