I suppose over the past few weeks life has been taken over by politics!!!! a funny thing to say I suppose but living in the UK at the moment means a lot of changes. The current ConDem Government seem to blame all lifes ills on the previous government, even though globally, life is tough. Reading the Internet, looking at the papers and listening to the media makes one feel "shaky" about the future of this wonderful country. My daughter at University, will she get a job after her studies?
Anyhow, back to my life at home with the children. Ian is away at the moment, in Turkey, with work. He went today. Our little one does not understand why he is not around at bedtime (he does bathing and bedtime story every night so she is a very spoilt little girl, having daddy to herself all the time). She seems excited that we are going "bed" and "shoe" shopping tomorrow!
MY ORCHIDS
They are doing wonderfully. The one pictured below was heading for the compost heap! We gave it one last go, pruned it back and look...... it has more flowers on it than it did originally.
It was also my little girls birthday, she reached the grand old age of 9!!!! She enjoyed a trip to the bowling and a meal with friends then the day after we had a family party. She had a great time......
