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.

This is actually just over a week ago but just getting round to sorting the photos. 

The one above is in the airport at Manchester.

We were on the plane here but many of you know I love clouds and this is a great photo.

We've arrived at Annecy in France and on our way to the hotel. Our dear friend Pascal came to pick us up from the airport.

Beautiful photo from our room.

And dinner, starter and dessert don't know what happened to the main course, must have eaten it and forgotten to take a photo.

Scrummy!

And a view from the dining room window.

Sunday was a lovely day so we went out with friends to their boat.

Lake Annecy is so beautiful and the cleanest lake in France being filtered all the way round.

This is my dear friend Margaret.

Here we are just setting off.

Margaret enjoying some water skiing and no we didn't join in, saving myself for the winter skiing.

And back on the boat again.

It was a lovely day.

And back for dinner.

I have lots more to show you here but they are for another day.

I'll finish now with some funnies.

This is definitely Daisy.

My two must have gone to this school for sure.

Mmmm.....my two again Lol!

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

   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.

Pond work. 

Filter cleaning and that's another job done.

Thanks to hubby!

I did buy him those nice long gloves especially for the job! Not sure he was too impressed at the gift until he started using them Lol!

These are the spongy bits from inside the filter that traps the waste stuff from the pond.

This type of filter only needs cleaning like this twise a year which I'm sure hubby is pleased about. 

You may remember this plant from last week and it's gradually opening and looks beautiful.

If you were around on Wednesday you will have seen this as I have spent some time in the cabin making ATCs.

With my little helpers.

Can you see the dog mat? it belongs in the cabin.....

and now it's in the garden!

Alfie might be little but when he gets it on him!

He's showing you how smart he is here, as if butter wouldn't melt!

I gave up trying to catch him and went for the dog biscuits. Every time I got near him he grabbed the mat and dragged it away. 

He was having a great time but can't resist a biscuit.

Funnies next I think.....

My two are going in the kennels soon.....

But don't think we'll need this as the kennel lady knows them well.

I would love all these but don't think it would go down well but it's true for sure except when someone's been eating stuff in the garden and decides to be sick and I will say no more than that.

One of Daisies favourite games...given half a chance that is!

She likes to catch you unaware and lick you nose. 

No idea why! 

Well that's not quite right, she like to get her tongue right up your nose! right up!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

 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.

Last Saturday was Craft and Chat day again, love it.

Always a happy day crafting with friends.

This card took me nearly all day to complete! but it does look good when finished. 

I used a stencil to draw the flip flops and then cut them out by hand (fussy cut if you like).

That beautiful orchid just gets better every day. The latest flower has some green in it too, might just use this colour palette for some art work soon.

Out in the greenhouse too, getting some plants ready for the raised beds.

And look at this beauty!

As it's Good Friday today I thought you might like this:

I'm sure you know what this is, they have become very popular around where we live.

Someone spends ages making these and they always make me smile when I see them.

Yes it's on the top of a post box.

A few funnies to finish off.......

Have a great Easter weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

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

A walk in the park but it was a bit dull.

This is becoming the home for dead trees.

And this is why, they have cut down so many recently.

Here's the gang out for their walk.

This is not the lake but another part of the park that doesn't usually have standing water. It's a good job we have places where the water can escape to.

Really Daisy that's not very lady-like!

This is what happens after their morning walk.

The flowers are starting to appear.

I wonder if you can see what I'm looking at here?

I took this photo from the bedroom window.

The hedge is several feet high but Mr/Mrs fox managed to get right up to the top.

And stayed there for over an hour.

It was enjoying a good preen.

Then turned and looked at me.

Then turned away obviously not interested in me at all.

Later in the evening I saw it again walking around the garden with a friend this time, but the light wasn't good enough to take a photograph.

And the following day we had this......

More like sleet than snow but it went very cold too.

One of our many visitors looking for his lunch.

Alfie wasn't impressed as he wanted to go out again! I think he likes the snow. He might feel different soon as he's booked in for a trim. You might know when you book them in the weather changes.

Must go and here are a few funnies to finish.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

 Annie sends appologies as she is unable to blog today due to internet problems.
