The Family

Our family consists of Chris, myself, badger, merl (the collies), sophie the cat (the queen), Nikita and Shelby (the teenagers, my daughters) who come and stay with us various nights throughout the week, all of which drives me bonkers on occasssions, but I love them all dearly and without whom I probably would have gone mad myself over the last few months but the one thing that has kept us all going is that we all love that cottage on the corner.

Over the next few weeks hopefully if I get time I'll tell you about some of merl and badgers exploits and what mischief they've been upto, they are still only puppies and not 1 till march and at times you don't know whether to laugh or cry (mainly we laugh) at the things they do.

Speak to you soon luv ya loads

History

Our little cottage is looking a little battered and bruised just at them moment. I'm sure I will post more about why over the coming weeks but builders are nearly done with all the work. We though end of January despite being told it would be all done for Christmas.

Well it is winter and it has rained more or less solidly since around November. There is no colour in the Garden and the dogs have churned up all the grass.

However, today the sun is shining, the stream is tinkling along side, the birds are singing and there are little shoots appearing on some of the bushes and up from the garden. I remember now why we loved it so much to start with.
