Now, where was I ?

I know Easter has gone but you can't blame these little girls for continuing to wear their charming Easter bonnets,thank you again Sugar for todays graphic ,I really couldn't wait a whole year to use it . Some of you asked what I have been doing all these months,so to address this I will make some random posts ,In order to catch up a bit.



In September Maurice had a Birthday

Then later in the month,Jean my sister and her husband Pete ,(Maurice was at work )and I went to plough Sunday,at the Rural museum in our town 


Beautiful Shire Horses ,with the ploughmen vieing with each other to plow the straightest furrow,these two handsome beasts enjoyed some Fox's Glacier mints ,I found at the bottom of my bag ,brave on lookers were invited to have a go at driving the plow and team,only to realise how difficult it could be .

This little chap was with the farrier

 

Look at the beautiful array of horse brasses


No queue for this loo !


Whoops!


A lovely country dance team ,we spent ages watching these ladies and Gentlemen


They were called the 'Heartsease dancers ',hence the pretty hand embroidered Pansies on the front of their Aprons


And here is Jean trying her luck at hoop la ,unfortunately she didn't win one of those flying pigs

Well I guess that is a few high lights from September ,I will be back soon to catch up on my absence .


Mean while, as ever my love, and for now  byeee
Jan  xx

Beautiful pictures Jan! I love days out in the UK. There is always so much to see and to do. As long as the weather co-operates! I have always said there is no finer place on earth when the sun shines. Despite some of our modern problems it is still one of the best places to live and has the finest people! So good to see you posting again! xxoo
