be it very windy , had a lovely walk across the fields,the sun was beaming down the wind was blowing so strongly ,it was very refreshing and i had a lovely sensation of freedom,i didnt have to be anywhere ,no clockwatching,no needs or demands from anyone just me ,it was heavenly,ide much rather walk across the country side than go to the gym anyday (not that ive ever attended a gym i might add)im not really one for doing exercise i must say , my elder sister is super fit, she runs marathons,half marathons,has done the 3 peaks on her own many times ,she runs swims plays tennis everything, she is a size 10 , im a size 14,16 well i sway more to the size 16 if i was honest ,i on the other hand walk my dog thats it,we couldnt be more different but shes a sweetie as are my other 2 sisters and 2 brothers anyway ,rambl ,ramble, back to my walk,we then went back home red faced and hair ,lets just say the "messy look " for a nice cup of tea and a ...

Well the children are all at school now , my youngest daughter ," hope" had her first day yesterday which went ok , i remained strong ive been very upset about her going for a few days now so i didnt want her to see me upset again so i tried to be strong, hope was was very tearful at first but then went off quite happily, felt my heart strings pulling so after a lovely walk across the fields with my dog "bobby"

i popped into town to my all time favourite shop

This is a table display as you walk through the entrance , i felt like plonking myself down and ordering tea and cakes !! but i refrained and walked round taking a few pictures instead

This bed is so gorgeous with the dressing table next to it

Its such a lovely shop , i didnt buy anything even though i saw loads of things i wanted , it was very hard to leave empty handed i must say !
Caths new book (i say that as if i know her personally , but i dont)anyway her new book "patch "is out next month and ive put my name down to go to an book opening night type thing , its where you can go into the shop one evening , have tea and cakes and there will be people demonstrating how to make things from the book , i went to the last one , it was heavenly and i learnt how to cross stitch, they provide all the fabrics cotton etc and you can join in , its very relaxing and there are only about 50 people so its very small and lovely, so i cant wait for that , hope your all well love francine x

Well the last day before the start of school tomorow ,i always feel heavy hearted at the end of the summer hols thinking about all the plans and ideas we had for our time together, ideas of long hot summer days the day trips wede planned , picnics on the beach etc, the list of things we never got round to doing far outways the list of things we did actualy do,time just slips by so quickly some how
The children have enjoyed themselves and arent bothered about all the ideas we never got round to doing , its only me that thinks that , there happy just being off school, i just wish you could capture those happy memories and keep them forever and not let them fade away , thats just me being all dreamy and sentimental, the truth of the matter is the weathers been awful, money ran out early on in the holidays and the children wanted to do their own thing anyway but its nice to dream and have everything rosy isnt it away from the real world ,just been thinking about the onslaught of tommorow ,prizzing the children out of their beds in the morning after 6 weeks of lie ins and very late nights, homework, after school activities,stropiness due to overtiredness and hormones,endless trips to clubs etc etc.....ahh where are my dreams...... i hope you have all enjoyed the holidays to xlove francine
