Well, that was just a little taster of our delicious weekend - thank you for popping and sharing it with me....I love life....
Here's wishing you a wonderful day xxxxx
Hello sweetie!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely time and I am loving that gorgeous rainbow ripple.
Your dog has the exact same look our dog has when the hens come over to check her out!!
Will be around to 'see' you more often, promise ;)
Sara xx
Oh lovely photos. I too would like the baby shire horse; think of all the horse muck for the garden!
ReplyDeleteNext best photo is giddy dog and the lambs - so sweet.
Great weekend here; sun, sun and working in the garden or up at the fields; perfection.
I think Giddy Dog is a little confused. She should round sheep up, not be surrounded by them! But it does show how obedient she is. I also think you got the priorities of your rucksack contents correct!
ReplyDeleteHi Sara - really nice to 'meet' you :) always lovely to find new bloggy friends xx
ReplyDeleteLL - horse muck a-plenty where we were camping - near Appleby where there is a dozen horses in every field!
Jak - yes Giddy dog was a bit befuddled with the over friendly lambs, but was so very good :)
Haha, has it been that long K?! It's me! Sara! Little purse with heart?
ReplyDeleteHeehee! ;)
p.s. please excuse the messiness of my blogs, have changed the name but still the same x
ReplyDeleteSara - Do you know - I did wonder, then when I popped over to your blog, your 'new look' had me flummoxed!! Nice to see you again :)
ReplyDeleteloving the colour of that yarn, and that bus!
ReplyDeletewish I could crochet and walk but it's not to be if I want to stay upright that is! Just back from our own hols, had a fab time but wish I could have been there too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pic of you doing crochet in the hills!!! Extreme crochet! xx
