So we survived the Earthquake ,thankfully, not an experiance I would be keen to repeat .Then came February 29th ,wow an extra day ,and no I didnt propose to Maurice ,if its not broken dont fix it ! We are fine as we are ,in fact better than fine ,as near perfect as you can get .
March came in roaring like a lion in fact a whole pride of Lions ,causing alot of damage poor Kate was so upset to wake to find her calf and sheep ornaments in the garden had been broken in the wind ,they are lieing in our garden as Maurice has said he would ''try ''and fix them for her ,oh dear !.......
Then as soon as I threw out all my flowers from my Birthday ,and took down my cards along came Mothers day ...and Oh I am blessed ,more flowers cards choccies and presents ,I saw Daughter Kate and Martin on Saturday when they came to visit ,then on Sundayson Mark and Chrissie came over ,and my sister Jean and her husband Pete ,I had lovely phone calls from son Derek and daughter Sharon ,so a very lucky Mum am I .
Yesterday ,because I was going stir crazy we had a ride over to St Ives (Cambs)a lovely little town we enjoy ,and because I still had some birthday money from Kate that was burning a hole in my pocket I bought a skirt (per una) I love their stuff ...oh hurry up nice weather so I can wear them (I bought one with my Christmas money didnt I? )I am fed up with my winter things now .But will be wearing them abit longer I fear cos 'The March wind doth blow and we shall have snow ?please no ! and what will the Robin do then ? poor thing ,he'll stay in the barn to keep himself warm ,and hide his head under his wing ,poor thing '
Maurice is back at work ,so Im playing catch up but as Im not getting on very well ,so thought I'd sit and do an update here .Tomorrow being the first Wednesday in the month is the day for my club .Then on Friday I am off to the residents forum bi monthly meeting ,my they come around quickly .and so dear friends that is me up to date again so as usual love and

The March winds are really bitter aren`t they Jan? I took Jake out this morning and I`m sure the wind went right down to my bones....brrrr! One good thing is that I`ve got all my washing line dried and smelling really fresh, all ready to iron. Would you like to do mine when I`m away? I know it`s your favourite job...lol! Dan bought me a gift voucher from Next for Christmas and it`s burning a hole in my pocket too, what shall I get ....new shoes for Spring? new jeans? I`ll check out Next while I`m shopping with Kerry!
Love Sandra xxxx

I guess I'm going to be like the robin that hides his head under his wing ,poor thing ' More cold weather and snow here. Glad you had a great Mother's day.

I am glad that you had such a lovely Mother's Day. That skirt is very pretty. I know you will enjoy wearing it. Kizzy is so cute. Bet she ends up with Mommie's stuffed toy. Helen
No you had three others before mine got there ,you are a popular lady ...xxx
Glad you had a nice Mothers day and visit from Kate. It has been windy the last few days, as for the Earthquake I felt a bit of a tremor, but didn't know what it was ...lol but no damage done locally, Nice skirt I like Per Una too always have nice stuff.

Glad you enjoyed Morther's Day. Eileenx
Don't you worry about the Robin as he will be outside my parents' house being extremely well fed! lol. Mother's day sounded fab. I loved the picture's. The skirt looks lovely. I hope for better weather aswell. Love Pam xx
We had snow this morning, not much and it didn't stay for long, but it was very cold. I am looking forward to the spring and lighter evenings.
Jan
It is easy to see you have a very loving family. I'm glad you had such a nice Mother's Day and I enjoyed seeing all the pictures. I'll bet you share that stuffed toy with Kizzie after all, LOL! The shot of Kizzie peering over Kate's shoulder at the computer was just precious! I'll keep my fingers crossed that Spring and Summer come early for you this year.
Sam
I'm so glad that you had such a lovely Mother's Day Jan! Your daughter looks like a real sweetheart! We've had a sunny day here today, but very cold! I don't mind if it's cold as long as the sun shines!
Marie
It looks like you had a perfect Mothers day and your gifts are all so nice too. Your skirt is lovely, I have not seen one like it.... It should look nice on you too. maybe you can take a pic sometime of you wearing it
Sandra
That was a lovely weekend Jan!...you were spoiled rotten and deserved it!...I loved the pyjamas and fluffy toy that Kizzie has her eye on! lol ...The skirt you bought is a beautiful colour, it will look lovely, those are my favourite style of skirts because you can dress them up or down!...great tag! Linda x x
How comes all the choccies and you still have a lovely figure???
Jenny <><
I agree with comment #14. Doesnt seem quite fair to me ;-). I am praying we dont get March snow. I have done a lot of planting in the garden. Stay well! Sal.
I have some birthday money burning a hole in my purse too, about every 4 days! Huh? What's that? Keith eeps 'borrowing' it and I have to keep nicking it back. No respect some people!
A, xx
I'm new to your journal but wanted to come say hi. I heard you were a good read so I thought I would come read a while. :) I have a few journals but my main one is private. I added you in case you would like to come check it out.
Carrie
You've done quite well for yourself between the birthday and Mother's day. Poor Kate....I loved those ornaments. I hope Maurice can fix them. March is absolutely a mess here. I doubt that spring will be here for a good while. AOL is giving me problems tonight...grrrr. I can't see your pictures. Love xx Chris
you did do very well:) have a good week
Deb
We are very, very tired of snow! Hopefully, the daffodils that are creeping up out of the ground and the plump buds on the trees means that we'll have an early Spring!
Love and hugs,
Sheila
More clothes? LOL!!
It's so cold here, frosts every morning. But it's lovely to see the sunshine, soon be Spring proper!!
Linda x.
We were lucky on the east side of Scotland we did not get the snow but it is cold. You did do well on Mothers day. Love your skirt wish I was slim enough to wear one. Love Joan.
If the snow comes you can wear ALL your new clothes at once. ;O)
Be good.

How lovely to see a photo of 'Your Kate'. At last I know what she looks like Jan! She is beautiful and obviously takes after her dear Mum.
What about your skirt? It is fab! I want it! Mind you...I would have to grow a good few more inches to fit into it as I am only 5'1" You will look so elegant in it my friend.
Hurry up warmer weather.
