Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week, well last week actually.

Some of you will recognise these places.

A bit further and we'll be at Maccelesfield.

This was the view from the hotel window, had we been staying for longer I would have liked to sit out there.

The following day we all got together to meet up with old friends that used to work together, mostly teachers.

It was great to see them all again.

This week has actually been spring cleaning which I am sure you don't want to see.

However, I have been in the garden too and the Bluebells are looking so pretty.

Pink ones here.

Blue and white.

Beautiful Lilac bushes.

They have done particularly well this year.

The tulips are coming to an end but they still look pretty.

We're down the bottom of the garden here where I keep the Bonsai which are waking up right now.

This is not a view I show you very often and yes we have a large garden. 

Our house is the one behind the tree in the distance.

We need a smile to finish I think.

And here's Alfred helping with the gardening with his favourite toy 'Little dog' and a stick.

Schnauzers are so clever.

When they are not being naughty!

Though sometimes being naughty may require some help from a companion.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

At the Craft Club this week.

 

 

If you were around on Wednesday you will have seen some of this.

Great company and a lovely place to craft too.

 

 

We were making Peekaboo cards.

 

How much fun was that.

 

And a nice surprise.

 

 

This was the card I entered for the challenge:

 

Seems to be all crafting today but I have been out in the garden too.

  

 

Gorgeous Camellia coming back to life. Ours are a bit later than some as it's a quite shelted where they are so they don't get so much sun.

 

Pretty tulips.

 

 

Fruit trees coming back to life too.

 

And my Bonsai are waking up. You have to be careful at this time of the year as the soil can start to dry up when the sun comes out.

 

And finally.....

 

Here's Alfie, he was watching me type this but obviously decided it's all too boring so he decided to sit on the bottom of the stairs in the sun which shines through the window of the front door.

He knows all the best places. 

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

More gardening, been getting the raised beds ready

and netting the fruit trees, that is the cherries and damsons as I'm fed up of the birds and squirrels taking every bit of fruit so who knows maybe this year we might be able to keep a few.

It doesn't look very pretty but I'm sure it will be worth it, we'll have to wait and see.

Bonsai looking good.

This Azalea isjust so beautiful.

I love watching these flowers coming to life.

And there you are...beautiful Alliums!

Love these too.

Fish looking good.

This time of the year is so colourful in the garden.

Other than the gardening I've been working on my felting again.

Not sure but think it's nearly finished. 

This is a Larch Bolete.

Just a few bits of good advice before I leave you.....

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.
