Sunday Morning

Drove to St Lo today to the monthly Brocante, not much Quimper to be found but our friends from the Epicerie Anglaise were there and Roger bought cheddar cheese and dark chocolate digestives which made him happy!
We stopped off on the way home to feed the ducks at a local beauty spot.
Enjoy the smilebox!

Saturday's scraplift challenge at YMBD

Each Saturday morning a member of the terrifically talented Design Team over at YMBD presents a great layout for us to scraplift.

They always have great ideas to inspire me and here is my latest creation featuring Mr B and a bowl of strawberries & cream.

YMBD On Line Crop Weekend

Just taking time to have a cup of tea and catch my breath. I have been having such a great time working on all these crop challenges, it really makes me think outside the box.

Finally did a LO for Chakras which I have wanted to do for a while just wasn't inspired before now.

On Line crop weekend

As some of you already know I recently started scrapbooking and am loving it.
I have hooked up with some other scrapbookin fans at YMBD and this weekend they are holding an onliine crop.
I have completed the 3 pre crop challenges already and am looking forward to attempting SOME of the remaining 18!
There is a link here on this blog to YMBD.

This is my favourite layout of the weekend.

January Sunrise

There's really not much going on in the garden this month, some early daffodils are coming through but that's about all.
What we do have in January though are spectacular sunrises.

Mistletoe

Whilst enjoying our walk through the French countryside this morning we came across a huge oak tree just covered in balls of mistletoe.
When I got home I took these pix of our gnarled old apple tree which hardly bears any fruit in the summer but plays unwilling host to mistletoe in the winter.
