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.

Last weekend we went to a friend's for a barbeque but was enjoying it so much that I fogot to take any photos.

On Monday we went to get parts for my old girl.

She's looking a bit sad at the moment as she's at the body shop. There are a couple of bits, a sill and wing that need work doing on them but we decided to get new parts which should ensure no further rust for a while at least.

This might seem a bit serious and if you've never had a 'Classic Historical Car' you may wonder why we're bothering but she is 53 years old and we have had her for about 46 years so even with this work being done it's worth it and I hope to keep her until I can't manage to get in and out of it any more! So hopefully a few years to go yet. 

It's also the only car we've ever had that's worth more now than when we bought it.

 

Later in the week my friend from France came to see us and sent me a photo of the B and B she stayed at here in Lincoln.

If you like somewhere very modern you wont want this.

But this is just the sort of place I love.

It's not more than about a mile away from where we live and never even noticed it before.

And apparently the owners are lovely too.

Later in the year we're having a week away at Annecy in France and my friend sent us this too, it's called 'Jardins-secrets' and look like an interesting place to visit so we'll see.

We also went to Downtown for some shopping and of course I came home with a few things.

Daisy and Alfie have been for a hair cut ready for their week in the kennels while Des is away, as he starts his school visits next week.

And here they are enjoying the garden.

Our swans in the park have babies but can you see how many there are?

These are some of the Geece that live in the park but the Cob swan decided he didn't want them in the lake and so they moved out for a while, think they got fed up of being chased around.

 

These are just so gorgeous, in my garden.

Who couldn't love these gorgeous flowers.

I think that's enough for today

but here are a few funnies to make you smile.

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.

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.

Another busy week here, hubby was back from his meetings on Sunday then we fetched the dogs back from the kennels on Monday and off to the supermarket.

Alfie soon made himself comfy again at the bottom of the stairs. 

He likes it there as the sun shines in through the front door and onto the stairs, as soon as it goes away so does he. 

He's giving me that look because I woke him up when he was enjoying a nap in the sun, he doesn't look impressed either.

Tuesday went for the car, she is looking a bit sad at the moment but the old girl will look better when she's been to the body shop for her paint job and in the afternoon it was felting club.

The guys in the background are hubby and Paul the welder.

Hubby's the bald one with the short beard and Paul the welder is the one with the long beard. He is amazing. It was these two who rebuilt the car about twenty five years ago and Paul is the only one that I trust to work on her.

Not bad for a 1972 car, she was about six years old when we got her so she's definitely a family memeber.

Wednesday is WOYWW so spent some time visiting the blogs to see what everyone was up to and then went to see our friends for a catch up.

Thursday needed to get my bags ready for the Craft club on Saturday, one of the other ladies is doing the class this month so needed to make sure I have everything I need to join in.

Oh and my laptop decided to play up but it's sorted now.

Friday is housework day as I would normally do that on Saturday but hate having to do it when I get back from the craft club so try to get it done Friday if I can but don't worry I'll get round to see all of you first.

I'm off to get the stitches removed from my arm on Monday so fingers crossed that goes okay.

Look away now if you don't want to see the stitches.

The flowers in the garden are starting to show their faces.

The purple one is pretty but no idea what it is.

The Camillia are starting to flower too.

Better go now so I'll finish with a funny.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

WOYWW -579 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends. 
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk. 
I am here again to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Everything's back to normal, desk is a mess!

New stuff from Hobbycraft and a salad spinner, what fun I'll have with that! 

I think everything else is more or less the same as last week. There is a box of labels that I'm going to use on the storage in the cabin.

And if that'a not enough this arrived.

Full of gorgeous stuff from DecoArt. Can't wait to have a play with those.

And as many of you were admiring my MG rock last week: 

here is the real Mustard.

Naming the car I think is something that collectors tend to do as we don't normally call our cars anything unless it's a swear word because they've broken down!

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

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.

Hi all. I thought I'd finished all the photographs from the show that we went to but just had to include these.

It was a company at the show that design gardens and this is just a delight to see.

I just love this to bits.

This week started off with yet another wedding.

Sorry about the lighting, gorgeous dress though.

This was the daughter of my friend.

Maisie had no interest in this mole hill so guessing it was not a fresh one Lol!

Swan babies getting bigger every day!

Now something not so pretty and you'll either love it or hate it.

But it's certainly different.

The green beauty in the background is my old MG she has been in the garage for a little bit of work that needed to be done.

This Rat Rod belongs to my mechanic. 

He rebuilds VWs mostly but looks after my MG too in fact it was him and my hubby that rebuilt the car about twenty years ago. He is just brilliant. 

I have had the MG for about 38 years so you can guess it's part of the family if you can say that about a car Lol!

Couldn't resist it Lol! but don't think it will be going home with us.

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.

Lots of lovely walks in the park as the weather has been nice.
The Cygnets are growing though we have lost one but the other four are doing well.

 

As are the baby Water Hens.

 

So much so that they were rushing around so much that I had trouble photographing them!

 

There they are! No they're gone again!

And the Goslings which seem to grow over-night.

 

 

 Crazy paving is growing too.

 Runners were having a good time on Saturday.

 

Unusually for me I was early again as I needed to take my car to the garage as its having a new engine but at 45 years of age! I guess it deserves one.

 

This is her.

 

 

She's a lovely old girl and we've had this car since it was about eight years old so it's part of the family really.

 

Look she's smiling at you!

 And for any of my American friends you may recognise this car which sometimes visits down the street.

 

 So that's all for today.

 

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.
