Back with a bang

After a two week on going problem with our Internet we now have a working connection.

What a week to have no Internet.

Venus has crossed the sun.

The bear in the window has been dressed up with no where to go.

Tilly May has a new cardy, something that would have taken me longer if our Internet had been working.

Freya has been out and about on Dartmoor

Even our car had a week to remember when such a lovely lady decided not to look into her rear view mirror when she was reversing and backed into it. It's a new rear bumper job that the car didn't really need before, it looked good just as it was. No bumps, dents, scratches......
Shame because until it's fixed, someone might think it was me who reversed into something. Why do we always think that way ?
I have never ever had to phone our car insurance, EVER, until yesterday... it wasn't even me........
At least the lady admitted it was her fault straight away and didn't drive off... as Freya and I were in the car at the time it wouldn't have been that easy to do when your in your eighties maybe !

We have some new art at the cottage this week.

Along with a visit from Karina our daughter.

We need more wall space. This is another painting by Karina in acrylic of Mark on the beach at Harlyn Bay in Cornwall when he was about eight years old.... he's grown a bit since then. There is a small face swimming in the water that you might find difficult to see on here , Karina bobbing along in the waves. Timeless holiday memories.

When Karina comes down to Devon, we take her back home again.

Lots of nose to nose contact with Freya and Tilly May.

Hugs with Jake.

Time spent wondering how on earth did Kiann grow up so quickly and we didn't notice.

More hugs and nose kissing from Freya. Jason's a lovely guy, but only Freya and Jason nose kiss.

Mark our computer whizz. He has grown a lot since he was on Harlyn Bay playing in the sand that year.

Not forgetting Mr Chops. Just because Freya has the high ground in this photo, she doesn't always get her own way, and she shouldn't have been sitting on that couch to start with..
Better go because I'm sure I'm pushing my luck via blogger with all the photo and my email list has just hit an all time high. It might take me a while to get around to every email. Thanks for all the snail mail that's come through the door this week guys.
We've missed you all too.
One more photo...... well, it was a Diamond Jubilee weekend after all.

 Where are we?

Is there a sneaky way in ?

Karina is going into hospital this week to have another operation ref her CMT... Charcot Marie Tooth Disease. Honestly it has nothing to do with teeth.
CMT is something she has asked me to blog about, I have thought very hard how I lead into it. This seems as good a time as any. But next time.
I never knew blogger could upload so quickly and everything is so fast........... Freya is over at her Catflap Cavalier as always.

Freya also has more photo's to show you, but they will be for another time.
One more thing, just like to say thanks to Tony, we have been married for SO LONG and it's our wedding anniversary on Sunday. Love yer more and more each day and thanks for putting up with me for the last 34 years... I had to ask him, because I forgot exactly how long it was,  doesn't time fly when your having fun.
:-)X X X  Just one more thing :-) Thanks kids we are so proud of you all.
