Day 175 - NATURE

 It is Xanthe's 2nd Birthday today, so this morning we went with our presents to see her.  We stayed for a quick lunch and saw her other grandparents and then had to leave as Peter had a bowls match away and then his choir are performing tonight in a concert for our local hospice. They are performing again next week so I shall go to that performance.
Here are a few photos I took on my phone as my camera had a flat battery!!
She had some new reins with a tiger on her back and would not take it off!!
 Today we had to take a photo from the word NATURE. I have many nature photos as have the rest of us.
Here are two taken when we visited an open garden day a few weeks ago 

 and today's from Xanthe's garden
When I came up to my craft room to blog this afternoon, look who I found curled up on my desk, one of our cats Florrie who is Daddy's girl! 
I now have the rest of the afternoon and evening to myself and do not have to cook tea either so it will be a bit of crafting and then watching recordings on the TV tonight, no football :)

  1. Have a lovely evening- hope you get to enjoy a nice 'crafty' time!!!!! I'm hoping to go out to see an open air dance/acrobatic event that was cancelled on Friday. But honestly I would love to curl up, have someone cook my tea and read a book!!!!

  4. Happy Birthday to Xanthe, she is one day younger than Alistair. I love her cake and the Tiger reins. We must look for some for Amber.
    Florrie looks so much like our Stella, I thought you had taken a photo of her.
