I cannot believe how long it is since I last blogged. Last year is a bit of a blur and this year didn't start off much better. I twisted my knee on Christmas Eve and last week had a repair done to the cartilage. I had a brilliant surgeon and am on the mend as as long as I take it slowly which is so frustrating. I have also go my interest back in all things crafty. This was supposed to be a fresh start and Kim and I were going to craft like crazy this year as we had the ideal craft room and the enthusiasm, this has unfortunately not gone to plan.
We have had a couple of highs already this this year when my Darling Husband turned 60. He looks so good although I think he would disagree so we had a family party with all the kids, my brothers family and Mum and Ron. A good time was had by all even after being let down by Marks and Spencer with the food I had ordered. I think my buffet was better in my humble opinion. I will let you be the judge.
Kim and I had a photo shoot with a great lady called
Sarah Elvin and here are a couple that we are really pleased with. It is unusual for us to have photos together as it is normally me behind the camera.
WE have been trying to do something every month that is slightly out of the norm so at the beginning of this month we went to Chard to a lovely hotel called the
Lordleaze Hotel for 2 nights. It has an excellent restaurant where we had two superb meals. This is such a central location for visiting all sorts of places but unfortunately as my knee was not fixed we had to limit ourselves to what we could do. We did visit Lyme Regis and had a browse around a great little shop that restored old furniture and will probably visit again once I am fully mobile. Here is a little picture of the hotel.
