We love the beach and the view from the house.



We wont miss the steps to get up to the house!


We went to Paradise park 


Nats did some scrapbooking


Never get tired of this

Lovely house

More stunning views.

No steps to get to the house

Lovely balcony

Not Been on here for a while- two years!! ( not too much happened) 
We did go to Liverpool to see family and hubby changed his job and now works for Waitrose.
These photos are from our Holiday in Marazion , Cornwall this year. 
On the way down we stopped at Bridgwater Premier Inn to break the journey.  


We visited Boscastle and Tintagel on the journey down.

We also stopped at the cider farm - we go there every time we go to Cornwall but where disappointed to find the it now costs £14.99 a head to look around , so we only went to the shop this time.


We went for morning walks along the beach at Marazion - the sand is not as lovely as Praa sands ( just round the corner ) and there is always lots of seaweed on the beach.

Great view though.

Of course we went to Praa Sands a couple of times - my fav place in the UK.

We wandered around Truro and had Pizza for lunch.



The second time we went to Praa sands we bumped into Greg Davies - I feel like a Hobbit!!

one of the best things about the holiday home was the tot tub at the bottom of the garden. It was SO big and we used it every evening - I DO miss it!

Can't go to Cornwall without a trip to Lands End

poor Derek's knee was playing up so he needed his stick.

An evening walk along Penzance Promenade


we left it almost till the last day to go to St Michael's Mount. Dan and Nats didn't want  to go - good job as it now costs &10 a head to get onto the island. ohh well - we took Meg and had a wander around. 


 

may be back soon - who knows!

Keep Calm and Carry on

 I have lost count of the weeks in lock down - think this is week 7 but might be 8.
This week people were encourage to go back to work if they cannot work from home unless they are shielding. The weather has got warmer over the last couple of days , so i have resumed my walks with Dex. Green is my fav colour.

 We usually walk along Brome avenue and go around the fields using the footpath.

 Two of the four "whirly gigs " in Eye.

 We rarely see anyone else.

 My hair has got long and straggly and the pink is almost gone.

 Phill , dads support worker , brought him some plants to re pot. He left them on the door step.

 A rare pic of Dan in daylight - just to prove he is in fact NOT a vampire!!

I made him re pot them himself and tidy up afterwards. To be fair , he then hoovered Dex's car and washed it .

In other news, Poor Meg has had problems with her tooth, she has a wisdom tooth that is growing the wrong way , pressing on a nerve and has been infected twice.  She was due to have it removed under a general anesthetic at hospital but that got put on hold for now. Being type one diabetic - hospital is nit the best place for her right now. We had to call 111 two weeks ago as she was in pain and refusing to eat, eventually we were able to give her some cocodamol and ibuprofen, this helped. Of course it was the weekend! We called her dentist on the Monday , he said if it was still bad on Weds, to call back and he was prescribe antibiotic. In the mean time she broke up with her 3 month internet BF and was inconsolable. We got the antibiotic and started them last weds. 
Yesterday she said she felt really dizzy and ill and her blood sugars were high - she tested high for key tones so i called the diabetic clinic.   The nurse said to test for key tones and blood every too hours though the night time too. We discussed insulin injections and when to increase. We did that - She was not happy about it and I had to be firm - have you tried to get someone up for a urine test at 3 am ??! Today we are still testing but blood sugars and Key tones are much better , also the BF is back on the scene , so she is much happier - we will see when it gets to 3 or 4 am!! 
****
thats enough for now - back soon - maybe

Today's walk and lock down baking

 It's such a lovely sunny day today - I have three loads of washing on the line .

 Dex and I walk along Brome Avenue most days - He still goes if I am busy or my knee is playing up.

 Today we also walked along one of the footpaths leading off and around a couple of fields.

 We only met a tractor or two - there were loads on the fields today.

 It was quiet and pretty 

 Its amazing that these walks are so close to home.

 Pretty blossom.



In the distance we could see 6 tractors . We walked around 3 miles in about 45 mins - which was good going with my knee.



 Lots of Baking during the 7 weeks (so far) of lock down. Raspberry and white chocolate muffins - an old fav.

 pancakes- Dex cooked some bacon to go with these for our brekki .

 CoConut cake - also made a chocolate cake with Nats and a fruits crumble.

 I made loads of Bread , including a plait and a loaf.
Lemon drizzle cake - already cut so they don't go too mad.
This week ( not photographed ) I made a Strawberry cheesecake and the second batch of Rocy road tray bake .

Back Soon
