Back At Poplar Farm

Sunny....!?
Sandy beaches....!?



Nope ~ this is good old Blighty and mugs of tea weather.

Plenty of fruit this year. Too much for mum and dad.







That would be some good cider there!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

They said today would be a horrible day ~ rainy and grey.

It wasn't!

So what better things are to do than have a soothing coffee accompanied with a rhubarb crumble topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream!?

There's something about rhubarb that warps me back in time to 30 years ago...
Picking rhubarb stems and dipping them into a bowl of sugar on hot summer days, in the gardens of Poplar Farm.

Tic Tock Tic Tock...
How time flies!
Tic Tock Tic Tock...
How such things can awaken past memories!
Tic Tock Tic Tock...
Live life!
Tic Tock Tic Tock...

Time doesn't wait for anyone!

Sunset & Cake

Lovely sunset over the moores...

You know what they say:
Red sky at night,
Shepherds delight.

So time for a cuppa and cake.

Painting....

Anna learning to paint!

Sunny Morning While Preparing Morris Sticks

Dad's out preparing his Morris Sticks for this evenings dance. Apparently it's rose wood - as rose wood gives the best sound you know!

Sarah enjoying whacking the sticks together.

The grass is growing and the flowers are out... Spring is final here.

Dad's satellite dish - tucked up at the back of the garden.

A whole hearted wooden welcome!

UK Holiday

Back in the UK to visit the parents once again.

This time Stef had a window seat... But chose to keep the blind down???

The social family!?!? :-)
Actually upon arrival - and having a Wi-Fi connection, those back in Switzerland were informed of our safe arrival ;-)

Then the classic Fish & Chips were called for... Actually more like the size of whales!

Ha!

Woz-up.
