Easter Sunday photo (s)!

Steven & the children spent the Easter Sunday at the caravan and were very good and did as I had asked them to - that is take lots of photos - so many that I am back to my dilemma of which photo to choose! I am torn between one that shows it is Easter or one showing them having a good time or a nice spontaneous random photo. I will put up quite a few and mull it over for a few days as I don't think I will have time to actually print any out for a while.

Liam happy because he found a baby shark on the beach! (still could not put down his beloved Iphone in the other hand).Jessica trying to skim stones - apparently they all landed with a plop!At least Liam has taken the hoodie down - now if only we could get him to smile!Orange juice and mini eggs for breakfast!A walk along the coastal path into Aberystwyth.Liam still can't let go of his Iphone! and below he was giving them all a geography lesson about rocks & sea defences!A woman's work is never done - Eleanor cooked lunch whilst Dad read the Sunday Times!

11th April photo - Christmas at Easter?

Poor old Nanny fell over and fractured her hip in November last year and was stuck in hospital all over Christmas - which was not very joyful - so we promised her a proper Christmas when she was better - so today was the day - complete with Christmas Tree, Christmas Music, crackers and Father Christmas!
We headed over to my sister in laws and had a really great time, even though Liam & Ross had to work, so it was just all the girls together.


Nanny looking much more cheerful now that is hip is slowly starting to mend.

Grandad who is doing a super job of looking after her.

No. 1 son!

No.2 son!

and my lovely sister in law who produced a fantastic spread.

Eleanor caught the train home today for Easter and shows you are never too old for a hug.

and just so she did not miss out - Jess had to have one as well.

'Hey old man in red - who are you?'Why its Father Christmas!!Then while the women tidied up the boys played with their toys!and the children with theirs....

and then we played making shadow families .

10th April photo - Jess is home!

Jess arrived back from Uni yesterday and today she wanted to do what she does best - shop!
Liam also wanted a polo shirt so we headed over to Telford shopping centre this morning. They both bought a couple of tops so were happy and feeling even happier after being given a free Easter egg each in the shops - so their mood was good enough to allow me to take a photo.

So I got a few photos - but because I was under pressure - they would have got up and gone if I had made to much fuss - I did not stage it properly - hence the Primark shopping bag in the way - but these chances come along so infrequently - I am going to have to use one of these.

9th April photo - gorgeous DVD

This is the DVD I have just watched...... it was beautiful.


I watched it on the TV one evening and loved it so much that I ordered it the very next day from Amazon. I liked Daniel Craig in it until the end - but I had to tell myself it was only a role he was playing and not real life! I thought it was so well made and all the cast were great. Even the music was perfect. If you have not seen it - it is well worth a watch.

8th April 2009 - more flowers!

I spied this lone flower who had taken refuge in my pot of chives - so took pity on him and decided he could be my photo of the day. This is the better photo of it, but because of the format of my album all the photos have to be landscape orientation so I will actually have to print this one out.

I got a bit carried away with garden flowers after this one and went around the garden hunting out flowers (there are not that many actually) and into the street and shot enough to make this collage.

I spied this lone flower who had taken up residence in my pot of chives and felt sorry for him, so decided to cheer him up by letting him be my photo pf the day.

This photo above is a better shot but for my album, the photos need to be landscape orientation, so will have to print this one out.

I was quite enthused by this lovely flower so went round the garden trying to find more - there were not many, so ended up with some nice photos of my neighbour's magnolia tree. So have made another collage!

7th April 2009 photo - a scrapbook layout!

just a quick post (after this morning's marathon one!) to post today's photo. I have actually managed a layout - it has been sitting on my worktop for a while now so I am glad to get it finished. It has not come out as well as I had hoped - so need to try a bit harder on the next few I have got planned.
