This week's smiles....week 389

 Hello all.  You managed very well without me over the last couple of weeks.  I've tried to read your posts but did't manage to leave comments...sorry.

We had a wonderful week away in a lovely bungalow Norfolk [just rather too far to tow the caravan all that way].  The sun shone every day and if anything it was too hot.  We enjoyed exploring the area, had a trip on paddle boat on the Broads and enjoyed many walks with Milly.  We ate out every day, made easy because so many places over there are dog friendly and Milly enjoyed being fussed by everyone we met.  Here's a few photos...

We had Sam and Lexi for the day on Wednesday and they asked to do a bit of sewing.....did I need asking twice?

They set to and chose the fabric they wanted to make a little frog out of and pinned on their patterns.  They cut them out and followed instruction well, using three of my sewing machines to make their frogs....a really special time was had by all and they were so proud of themselves with their finished frogs.

They lead such busy lives now so it was so lovely to be able to have quality time with them both and make special memories.

Wednesday evening our son, Mark, messaged to see if we would like a visitor....and of course we said yes please.

It made us all giggle when he turned up wearing the exact same tshirt as his dad and when he put his glasses on to use his laptop I just had to take a photo :-)

Of course it wouldn't be Friday without a few funnies, and this week I seem to have found lots so hope you have a good giggle at some of these.

I hope you have all had a good week.  I am looking forward to visiting you all this week [and leaving comments!!].

Hugs,

This week's smiles....week 172

Wahoo wahoo wahoo.....I'm back.  Present and correct this week my friends.  It was so good to see that at least some of you still linked your smiles in my absence and for that I thank you lots.

I am pleased to say I had a wonderful week's holiday in Albufeira and our week was spent doing just what the Dr ordered....Lots of eating, sleeping, reading, walking, relaxing, chatting, laughing and generally enjoying our time together.  Since we have returned home we have new energy to tackle a few more jobs around our home and garden and that has given us even more to smile about :-)

The pics I'm sharing today aren't from our holiday but they are from the holiday our little twinnies have just returned from with their Mummy and Daddy....simply because I am sure they will make you smile as much as they did us.

I know I'm rather biased but aren't they just gorgeous?  They never fail to make us smile.

Now, I've shown you my smiles for today so please link up yours below and I will pop along as soon as I can to check out what's making your smile this week.  Thanks for calling by.

Hugs,

Did you miss me then?

Some of you will have noticed my lack of leaving comments over the last week and this is why?

....Yes I cheated and automatically posted last Wed and Friday

We have been away recharging our batteries for a few days.  We stayed in a wonderful 4* hotel north of Harlech in Wales.  The weather wasn't wonderful but who cares?

We ....

• rested
• slept
• walked along several beaches
• ate wonderful meals
• drove all round the area
• chatted and 
• laughed lots

....as they would say it was just what the Dr ordered.  :-)  It was a lovely place to visit and I had the best of company with me [my darling hubby].  The phone signal was rubbish and there was only weak internet signal so I managed to check out a lot of your blogs on Wednesday but couldn't leave messages.....I make no apologies cos, trust me when I say, I NEEDED the break.  :-)

I have put together a couple of collages of our snaps to share with you and if you want to see them in more detail you should be able to click on them to enlarge.

Hopefully normal service will resume now I'm back with my recharged batteries.  :-)
