A whole week

I cant believe it has been a whole week since I last sat and updated my blog properly. Well today is my day off and it is grey and raining & I have to go to the dreaded dentist, so not a good start to my day.
We had a lovely weekend with the grandchildren we took them to the East Anglian game & country fair, it was an excellent day out & they got to see & try all sorts of things, my grandson Bradley had a go on the archery & he loved it.

Bradley then got suited up to try his climbing technique on the clibing wall, I think he did well as he's only small.

We did take a picnic, but there was no need as you could eat your way around the show, with speciality food & drink from every corner of the globe.

I wasn't feeling at my best on Saturday & nearly didn't go as I awoke at 4.20 am with a migraine & was woken again at 6.30 by two little people playing on the trampoline in the garden, which is under my bedroom window.



I dont seem to have had any time for cardmaking so I must finish the new baby welcome to the world card I started for my new grandaughter,I stated it on Thursday after we got the news of her safe arrival, but it is quite time consuming, I decided to make a chipboard book from scratch that spells the word baby.

I had a sad phone call last night that my daughter in laws dad had died, when she was here at the weekend we talked about her Dad & I didn't realise that the end was that close, but looking back her words were very similar to mine when my dad was in the late stages on cancer. So i have to make a couple of sad cards today, I have known my daughter in law since she was just 2 years old, so we will go down for the funeral as well.

Then a happy card Bradley is 7 on saturday so I must make his birthday card & get that in the post. Although it will be a hard day for them having just lost grandad.
