Photo a Day Challenge - 30.11.2014 - Bought.

Not by me but by my beautiful Nerys, the fabrics are washed and waiting for a new project, I haven't tried the hot chocolate but I'm afraid all that wonderful Bournville Classic Dark Chocolate has gone...

Photo a Day Challenge - 29.11.2014 - So this happened...

... exploded in our wine room in the middle of the night.   I rang the makers, they took my address but I never heard from them again!  I wonder if this juice is still available in the shops?

Photo a Day Challenge - 21.11.2014 - Shoes.

I've stolen this photo from a Friend's Face Book photos... she has a lot of photos of shoes and feet on her page and I don't have any and I'm too lazy to photograph my own so here you are... Shoes!!

I wonder if  you will hear the screams when she finds her photo on my Blog  :-)

Photo a Day Challenge - 19.11.2014 - Whole.

 This post is for Gwilym, this is what my 'Whole' Italian Stuffed Loaf looked like to start with and below after is is cut.
Very proud of my Gwil, he made this loaf last weekend for some friends, he's the first of my children to try such a tricky recipe.

Photo a Day Challenge - 18.11.2014 - I love this.

I've only just found this photo, the man in the middle is David's Grandfather, I've never seen a photo of his Griffiths Grandfather before.  What a nice looking man he was.  That's his mother beside him and on the left is his brother Eddie and on the right is his brother Rob who is just home from a Turkish P.O.W. Camp.  The photo was taken in early 1919.

I love this photo not only because I can see what my husband's Grandfather was like but is also says a thousand words about family and the relief they must be feeling now that all the brothers are home safe and the War is over.

Photo a Day Challenge - 13.11.2014 - Letters.

Here are copies of almost 30 years of Christmas Newletters that I've written, in later years I've needed a little help from my family. 

Copies of all these letters are in the State Library but they've stopped collecting them now and with my Blogs and Facebook and so on... I don't think I will write a Christmas Letter this year. 

Do you still write Christmas Newsletters??

Photo a Day Challenge - 11.11.2014 - A set.

Blaise Hamlet is a hamlet in north west Bristol, England, composed of a group of nine small cottages around a green.  They were built around 1811 for retired employees of Quaker Banker and Philanthropist John Scandrett Harford, who owned Blaise Castle House.  
The Hamlet was designed by John Nash, master of Picturesque style.  He had worked for Harford on other buildings.
The Cottages are now owned by the National Trust.  They are still occupied and not open to the public, but the ensemble may be viewed from the green.  All the cottages, and the sundial on the green are Grade 1 Listed Buildings.
Rose Cottage is rented out by the National Trust as a Holiday Cottage.

Here is my Set of Lilliput Lane Cottages, all nine of them.
1.  Rose Cottage - 2.  Dial Cottage - 3. Sweet Briar Cottage.
4.  Circular Cottage - 5.  Jasmine Cottage - 6.  Double Cottage.
7.  Oak Cottage -  8.  Diamond Cottage - 9.  Vine Cottage.

And Below... the real Cottages in the same order... #5 Jasmine Cottage is called Dutch Cottage in real life.


I will be visiting Blaise Hamlet next time I'm in Bristol that's for sure :-)
