Playing Catch up !

I cant believe its a week since I did an entry ,where does the time go ? It is also twenty four years since Mick  died ,my childrens father, and if things had been different we would be looking at a wedding aniversary of fifty years in three more years time, well it wasnt to be, and life went on .....

I had quite a busy week ,woke up to the snow on Wednesday morning ,though by the time I took my picture it had nearly all gone .Wednesday morning was the day Maurice came home bearing gifts. He is in management security ,and the company they are with ,have sales from time to time ,this time it was Debenhams ,see my lovely leather handbag ,that he bought at a greatly reduced price ,(its not quite as red as the picture suggests ,more like the wool I bought )he also bought two boxes of beads ,I have been incorporating beads into my patchwork ,the boxes of beads have given me ideas for some jewellery,feel another hobby coming on  ! Thursday and Karen picked me up and I went to the meeting with the complaints and compliments group,we are working on updating the procedures .This was held at the building of the companys newest venture ,An extra care home for the elderly,and what a magnificient place it is ,beautiful flats and facilitys,Princess Anne officially opened it a couple of months ago ,they have a computer suite ,a hobbies room, a gym ! and many other wonderful features .the interior decor would put a top grade hotel in the shade ,We are to have our next news letter meeting there next month I will see if I can take some pictures .

On Friday I caught an early bus over to the village where I worked as a manager,to attend the funeral of a very dear resident ,Rene was ninety five and  a very independant soul to the end ,she had brought up her Grandchildren ,when her daughter died with MS ,and they were all there as were her other daughter and Greatgrandchildren ,it was so rewarding to be greeted by them and told how their Nan missed me when I left ,and how pleased they were to see me there ,I told you about Rene in an earlier entry ,she kept po pourrie (sp) in her late husbands slippers in her bedroom  ! One of her Greatgrand daughters gave me a lift half way home ,and it was  while I was waiting for Maurice to get the car back from the garage ,after a successful MOT to bring me home ,I bought the wool ,that so matches my new handbag ,never miss a trick me ! and I found some gloves on the market on Sunday .....Maurice has gone fishing today ,with my sister Jeans husband Pete ,so I am playing catch up ,needless to say I have a pile of ironing needing my attention too ,Maurice goes back to work Thursday night so another holiday has whizzed by ,now Im pretty much up to date I will say bye for now and have a lovely day everyone with love from ....
