Almost another month gone

Where has August gone? I have been on holiday for the last 2 weeks, running my Vanessa to and from tennis as usual but she's doing really well in semi finals in both u12's and u14's, so fingers crossed for the rest of the week, although we could do with some better weather for me to sit and watch her rather than being huddled under an umberella.

Ashley should be out of plaster this week after suffering from a hairline fracture and chip to his left foot, feel sorry for him, as he has been on crutches for the last 3 weeks, at least he will be out of it before he goes back to school next week!

Just got a few days left before having to go back to reality next week, if only I could have more time off, but hey ho its back to work next week, but at least I've got a Bank Holiday weekend first.

Happy Bank Holiday everyone and hope to see some of you soon.

More news & Christmas cards

My son, Ashley passed his Grade 2 Drum exam with 76% giving him a merit, I am so pleased for him! Well Done!! Also here are some of the Christmas cards I made for my demos in July.

Where does the time go?

Well yet again I can't believe where the time has gone - the kids are now breaking up from school for the summer holidays!! Since last been on here we had a lovely sunny week on holiday at Centre Parcs in Longleat, we celebrated our 21st Wedding Anniversary also in June, we attended a Wedding and I took my daughter to Bournemouth for the weekend so that she could represent Somerset in the County Cup. So far this month (July) I have run up and down to Exeter three times for Vanessa's tennis tournaments in the evening and not been getting home until nearly midnight three nights in a row, we were both exhausted!! I have also had a couple of demo's this month and was shocked to see that I was demonstrating christmas cards - gulp where does the time go, but as one kind customer pointed out its only 5 months to Christmas, oh the joy!! I don't think!! Well hopefully I will try and get on here more often now that the summer has hit, or rather the rain at the present time! Just in case I don't have a wonderful summer Helen
