Long time, no blog!
It has been a while hasn’t it?! I have been busy though - which is good! I decided to buy a horse who has been keeping me busy. He is 7 years old, Irish Draught crossed with something which may be an Appaloosa! He is beautiful, and unusual! He has a wonderful temperament, and is […]
Nearly a year…
…since my husband passed. I cannot believe have fast the time has gone. Not a day has gone by that I don’t miss him. I have visited all the stages of grieving throughout this year, sometimes all on the same day, and others one at a time in no particular order!
Grief is a funny thing, […]
Snow!
I hate the snow. It looks pretty, it is an excuse to sit in front of the fire all day, but I do hate it. The reason is I have never learnt to drive in it and I am scared of slipping uncontrollably all over the place. I don’t think it is a good idea […]
2009
And so, here we are - 2009. When I look back at the last year and how horrid it was, I suppose the only way now is forward! In my little ironical world, I am looking for something like a huge anvil to hit me on the head while I’m out walking the dog. I […]
Happy New Year 2009
Happy New Year to all my family, friends both old and new. I wish you all a peaceful and healthy new year.
I was going to write something in my blog but have found it very hard to put any words down, so I just wish you all the best for 2009. xxx
Nearly Christmas…
It’s nearly Christmas and I am dreading it. This time last year Peter was having treatment for his cancer and we were optimistic. How fast that all changed when he took a turn for the worse and nearly died last Christmas. The rest is history as they say. On the television at the moment are […]
Warm!
I am sitting in my cottage, in front of a real log fire (well, wood burning stove actually!). It is a Clearview Pioneer 400 and I got it from Robeys in Belper, Derbyshire. I am very grateful to my family for fitting the stove and tiles, they have been very good to me and helped […]
COLD!
Brrr…freezing! I’m being a wimp I know, but it’s soooo bloomin’ COLD! This morning was beautiful with frost, not a big frost, but enough to make the village look so pretty. It gets quite cold up here, so I am waiting to get out my camera and take some pictures of the village when it […]
New House
I am in my new house - well, cottage acutally! It is lovely, and it has been newly decorated and looks so clean, until the dogs trash it! It is so peaceful here and I am sure Peter would have loved it to bits. I miss him so much, and although I get through the […]
Birthday!
I have just had a lovely birthday, made special by my children, family and friends! It was my first birthday without Peter, and I felt so lost without him. He always spoilt me on my birthday and made me feel so special. I miss him, his companionship and his thoroughly awful jokes! It is amazing […]
