I forgot to say when I would make the draw for one of the little birds. I will do it on Sunday
9th August, so if you havent already then leave a comment and tell me what you think about them.

World Picnic-Milton Keynes

Saturday - weather was awful, I stood gazing out of the window feeling a little sad that the World

Picnic would be cancelled. It rained and rained all day.

Sunday - Blue sky's, sunshine, I cant believe it. Well I never would have thought after yesterday the weather would turn out like this, someone was obviously smiling on us.

The day was a great success, there were stalls with different world foods and goods, and a very diverse programme of entertainment from Bollywood dancers, belly dancers, our choir of course,singers, musicians and lots more. The day stayed fine and we finished at 7pm tired but very happy. Hopefully in coming years this event will go from strength to strength.

GIVEAWAY

Good morning, look who has just flown in to the garden. It's the word birds !
These bright little birds have there tummy's filled with sweet words and sentiments.
They tell me they come in all colours, for any occasion, with words of your choice.
I'm going to give one of these sweet little birds
away so please leave a comment and tell me what you think.
I'll pop back later today and let you know how my choir performance went, stayed tuned.

Quick Friday post,
I'm so excited that I have been receiving comments you are all truly wonderful. This blogging lark is truly addictive. Can anyone tell me how to add the followers gadget to my sidebar, it doesnt seem to want to work for me. (not that I'm assuming I'll get any followers but you never know) Busy weekend ahead,I've got some ideas brewing and of course my choir performance on Sunday (fingers crossed no rain). Oh and I'd better fit in some housework somewhere (boo......).

I want to tell you a little story about the Robin Redbreast. A short while after my father passed away I started to get visits from the Robin. It became so frequent that we joked it must be grandad but then the visits became more and more unusual we would see him every where (and I mean everywhere) we went. The children would ring me with regular reports of seeing him .I decided that it was a message from my dad letting us know that he wasnt far away and it brought us all some comfort. It makes me sad and happy at the same time when I see him. My mother passed away recently and since then we have hardly seen him but the first week after she had gone I had two Robins in the apple tree.I smiled and knew that they were together and strangely I havent really seen them since.

Blankie

This is a comforter that I made for my daughter, its for when she is feeling sad or down,on the back is a lavender filled pouch to help relaxation. I made both of my daughters one of these and I hope they will always treasure them.These small quilts are about as much as I can handle at the moment until I improve my quilting skills. I keep threatening to take a class but I never quite get round to it, one day maybe.

World Picnic

Choir practice last night for the World Picnic on Sunday 2nd August
in Milton Keynes.
It should be a great day celebrating music, dance and the
cultures of the world. The choir are doing 2 sets with a live band
so it should be very exciting. Pray for fine weather,there is
such a lot of work from a lot of different people going into this day
it would be shame for the weather to spoil it.
Come along if you are in the area and enjoy a great day,
oh and bring a picnic.
