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.

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.

 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.

As promised last week, what are they up to?

They are putting up bird and bat boxes.

It's great to know that so much is being cared for here in the park. I just hope they are careful as these boxes are a long way up the trees which you can probably guess by the length of that ladder. 

Maisie was watching but didn't seem terribly interested.

Look whose back again.

Like lots of places we've had some heavy winds recently and we noticed this had blown off the other day. It is not meant to stick out like that!

I have no idea what these workmen are looking at but they were there for at least half an hour. It sure takes a lot of men to look down a hole Lol!

Work is progressing behind us.

This gives a better idea of how far away the new houses will be.

And from the fence this is looking back at our house. That's my cabin on the left.

We finished off the week with a visit to the vet's for Maisie's monthly injection for her arthritis.

They were a bit behind and Maisie got a bit fed up waiting. She's having a good yawn here. Funny thing was that of the other three dogs we saw at the Vet's two of them were Schnauzers so she enjoyed meeting them too.

And Maisie says we need a few smiles after all that.

Dogs can be useful at times.

Silly man, he's just asking for trouble!

Doesn't he realise that dogs understand the word Walk! I even think they can spell it as we've tried saying it only using the letters but they still know what it means.

You wouldn't catch Maisie and Stan going out in the rain without their own coats which actually is more for our convenience as they come back clean rather than wet and muddy!

Hope that gave you a few smiles.

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.

 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.

Not much to show you but look carefully here, what do you see?

Not the most brilliant photo but knew you'd like to see our friend is still around.

Only just caught this when I was actually having a look to see how the building was progressing. As you can see the sun had been shining again and he/she had been sun bathing. They do like this warm spot.

Crocus this week in the garden.

We met these two in the park but what do you think they were up to. See if you can guess and I'll give you the answer next week.

Most of my spare time has been spent in the cabin as I've been working on some more resin projects.

These are little ring holders. You'll get to see them better when they've cured.

So back to the dog funnies.

Enjoy!

Not the best photograph of our foxy friend but as you can see he/she is still around despite the builders.

If you're not sure that's him/her to the left.

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.

This is the view over my fence at the bottom of the garden.

To the right you can just about see the building work that is taking place.

There's lots of noise and large equipment but lets go back a little.

Looking over the fence again.

Under those trees straight in front of us someone is watching!

Who could it be?

This was a lovely sunny day and someone was making the most of it.

They knew I was watching them but didn't seem that bothered and as yet the building work doesn't seem to have been a problem either. 

Interestingly the area was supposedly surveyed and we were told there was no wildlife living around this area obviously they were wrong! But we already knew this but what do they care!

I just hope that the loss of land for the foxes doesn't make them wonder into places where they are not welcome. Occasionally we saw them in the gardens but they were never a problem. 

I have to smile because they really don't seem bothered about what's  going on.

So it's time for another snooze!

Hope you enjoyed seeing our visitors, hopefully they'll be back again soon.

More gardening, this time over the garage. The Wisteria is lovely but goes mad every year so needs cutting back so him-indoors had to come out and climb the ladder.

Good collection of cuttings I'm sure you'll agree.

Stan came for a look to see what was going on. I cannot imagine what he's thinking!

These are fig leaves and they are massive but no figs I'm afraid.

Maisie came to check it all out too.

One more job before the winter, cleaning the pond filters, a bit messy but has to be done.

And a few dog funnies to finish.

This could be Maisie.

Thank goodness this is not Maisie and Stan though I'm sure they would if we let them.

Hope they made you smile.

Have a great weekend everyone and
