The fourth week

Day 22


Maisie and I arrived home from our Devon trip to find that our brickwork has been cleaned up.



Day 23


Just look at this fantastic sunrise



Day 24


Enjoying a bit of weekend reading . . . .



Day 25


. . . and some wine



Day 26


A trip to the dentist in this lovely, fairly recently opened health centre, and as it was just a check-up and nothing needed doing, I almost enjoyed it.



Day 27


The blanket for GO and EG is almost finished



Day 28


Should I offer my proof-reading services to this company?

Week Three

I've started to make my very first string of bunting


Day 16


Came across this outside a shop in Chinn's Court, which used to be a butcher's yard.


Day 17


The jigsaw puzzle is complete


Day 18.


This is Maisie, all ready for our trip to deepest, darkest Devon. And look at the brickwork, while I'm away it will be cleaned up - keep an eye open for Day 22.


Day 19



The view from the kitchen window of the house where I am staying - the roof you can see is a summerhouse, not a neighbour.


Day 20


Walking the dogs with my cousin.


Day 21


I stopped in Honiton on my way back home, and saw this outside the toyshop

Time for a haircut (GM's, not mine)

Second week at Slimming World, and I'm 2lbs lighter

Someone has a new (second-hand) bike - again, not mine

This hyacinth smells divine

Another treat for me

The First Week

Day 1



New Years Day, and I'm pleased to announce that I didn't drink a whole bottle of wine last night!


 Day 2



And so onto my first positive step of 2015, I've enrolled at Slimming World.


Day 3



Second positive step, I've made a start on sorting my wardrobes.


 Day 4



I made an early morning trip out to the chalet at the end of the garden, and was really delighted to see how warm and inviting my kitchen looks from outside.


 Day 5



This picture may not look very exciting to you, but to me it is the beginning of the end of the kitchen works, the new piece of solid wood worktop has received its first coat of wood oil.


Day 6



Mother Nature knows that spring isn't too far away


 Day 7



This is the year that we tackle the garden, I wonder where these lovely pebbles, which are currently sitting in a pile at the side of the house, will end up.


How was your first week of 2015?
