Where have i been? What have i been up to? well....sadly not very much :)
Since my last post the weather has gone down-hill, it didn't stay lovely on the sunday it decided straight after i had posted about how wonderful the weather was to throw down a bunch of hailstones at an angle pounding windows, doors and any small unlucky animals that happened to be out in it. I actually saw a small Sparrow fly directly into the path of pelting Ice and be swept backwards and round in a small loop the loop poor little thing he did make it into the safety of a big holly tree though after my mum and i stood there cheering him on.
Since then i have been working at my day job and then in my spare time doodling really, drawing lighthouses, little boys, mums dads and cottages trying to think up some illustrations for a story i have written. Here's a badly scanned version of the lighthouse design i've settled on.
Ive also been knitting and i now have at least 9inches of a scarf haha!
Ive been enjoying Hot Pots, Cassaroles, Roast dinners, and anything warming to the system after the long chilly dark days we've been having, all washed down with plenty of cups of Tea and Red wine (only of an evening though!)
This weekend is due to be pretty hectic i have planned a Christmas Fete i am visiting on the saturday and then Sat evening through until Sunday 3am i will be at Fort Amerhurst in Rochester they are holding a spiritual evening where you attend and are guided around the long nearly endless tunnels and caves which make up this Napoleonic bunker by torch light in the pitch darkness being told about the various histories and Ghosts which are supposed to haunt the place. I personally am not really looking forward to it, i am not into dealing with ghosts and i believe they should be left alone and not interfered with, but my friends who booked the event think otherwise and booked me a ticket! ahhh! luckily Ash will be with me and there is 6 of my friends (including me) and then 16 others (strangers) and some tour guides. We are fed and watered too so maybe the food will excite me! who knows haha. any how i will keep you informed of how it goes. Fingers crossed i'll come out in one piece :)
Then next week i have booked thursday and Friday off of work so i have two whole days to fill with Christmassy goodness while everyone is at work. Thursday i plan to wrap my exsisting pressies i have bought or made so far whilst watching christmassy films like The Holiday or Muppet Christmas Carole and then Friday is planned to buy the rest with my mum at Bluewater over a nice Latte or two.
Sorry this has turned out a rather large post! One more thing to add before i leave you all with a sigh i would like to say a big big thankyou to all the people who follow this blog and all the blog buddies i have made here in blogland...it is a wonderful friendly place, i dont know what i would do without you all :)
sending you all special
Big Hugs
