Back home after a great time in Germany

Well the holiday is over boo! hoo! back to the real world. But I thought Id share a few pictures.

Just a few of the many photos

Racing for Life

Well I did it finished another Race for Life and in 37 minutes which I think for a 59 year old aint so bad. I have yet to decide if I will do it next year but I think the ....'go on do it'... will win out in the end.

Warm up time 

Apparently Watford's Race for Life will raise £125K 

Done it despite the rain.

 Thank you everyone who sponsored me and who came out on a horrid damp old day to give me a cheer. 

Mannheim or Bust

Just back from our long weekend in  chilly Mannheim Germany. Ken was doing his 5 km run as part of his company's relay event at the Mannheim Marathon. We had a great time and Ken managed his run with flying colours.

We visited Heidelberg and went to the castle and had a ride on the Funicular railway, all in all a great time was had by one and all. Watch out later when these pages get scrapbooked.

Getting the Greenhouse Ready

Well, I finally got the plants potted up for the greenhouse. I have four different types of tomatoes, Alicante, Moneymaker, some small yellow Sungolds and some small black cherry tomatoes. I also planted a gherkin which my husband was keen to see grown, and sowed my cucumber chili and pepper seeds. I am hoping that I get the harvest I did last year, as I was able to keep my whole extended family and friends in cucumbers and tomatoes throughout the summer.

The chili,peppers and cucumber seeds sown.

The tomato plants all potted up

 Whilst I was gardening I also potted up some herbs for myself and my daughter, and a pot of flowers for her balcony at her new flat. Lets hope all grow well. 

Coriander and basil seeds sprouting well

A tub of herbs, rosemary,thyme chives and parsley
plus a Fuchsia with Lobellia and a re-potted Azalea

Finished at last now on to the next job

Finally got my scrapbooking done for 2015 amazingly and a few ones into 2016. I now have to get on with all many other projects to numerous to mention.

Summer 2015 Nearly Completed

Well my New Years resolution to get more posts done for my blog have sadly already not been kept. I know I'm an awful slacker, but honestly I have been busy and productive so I'm not too disappointed in myself. 

I have almost completed my scrapbooking of my holiday for 2015 plus I've been on a machine embrodiery class, Danish pastry cooking course, and attended the Knitting and Stitching Fair at Olympia, so not that shabby. Plus I've done loads of gardening, washing, ironing, cooking cleaning etc etc. You know all those lovely jobs we try to put off when crafting.

Well here are a few more pages.
