The Last Day of Harvest Time and a Train Timetable!

jsch_harvest_add5_ribbons

Hi all!! The headache is much better today and that makes me feel so much brighter!!

Men, they're a funny breed...they think differently to us ladies..I'm convinced they do!! I think that men think in straight lines..one line at a time mostly. We women tend to think in multiple lines, a bit like a train junction!! Could be that with kids you have to learn to multi thought as well as multitask, lol!! Or it could be we're just devious!!

Anyway, my long suffering DH was listening to me moaning and clutching my head yesterday with that far away look in his eyes that told me he may not be giving my agony his full attention, his single line of thought was not where it should be. So I thought I'd throw him a side winder to see if he was paying attention!! (Makes me sound a bit like a bad tempered baby.)

"What makes a good relationship" I asked. There was a long pause...so long I thought..he's not listening...then he said "It varies". OK, typical man talk for "Why do you ask me stupid questions". Evasive.....definitely!!

Feeling rather grumpy and sore I went in for the kill. "So what makes our relationship work?" I asked. The answer was fast...."Oh that one's easy. I always know where I stand with you and when your not moaning...you make me laugh...not always intentionally".

Well, I was shocked...he was awake and he was listening and more to the point he gave a cute answer!! Could be he's smarter with women than I thought, lol!! So I decided the poor man deserved leaving in peace and went off to bed to be miserable there and give him a break!!

Enough of my ramblings..I tend to go off the track, I know, but now it's down to the good bits.

Today's the last day of the CT Collab Kit for this month and the last of the goodies are awaiting you!! I'd like to say a great big THANK YOU to all the CT girls who took part in this for their hard work and for sharing their talent. Well done ladies, your brilliant!!

Lymington Revisited and Some More Harvest Goodies!

 jsch_harvest_add4_frames

Yesterday I woke up with a headache that felt like I had spent the night on the town! My mouth was like the bottom of a bird cage and I just wanted a hole to crawl into. The irony was that not a drop of alcohol has touched my lips for an age..not even a glass of wine..in fact I think I'm deprived...no!! not depraved!!

I spent the morning muttering about there being no justice, as my youngest son had been out till goodness knows when clubbing with friends...and he looked good when he got up, it was me that looked like I had overindulged in a big way...he was fresh as a daisy. It must be youth or some magic potion he has, lol!!

Saturday saw me wandering around Lymington Street market with Lilly, Charlotte, Chris and Ashlyn. In an alley off the market is a great flower place and I couldn't resist a peek,,,just to see if they had anything that inspired me. They did...some Chinese lanterns and some dried corn, so when I feel a little better..well, a lot better really..hopefully, I will have a go at being inspired by them.

Lymington is on the coast and the main street is set on a hill leading down to the old quay. It's an old town, a small one, but a pretty one. It's a draw for tourists in summer but even now the weather and seasons are changing it still has a lot of yacht people passing through. So it's always bustling on Saturdays.

The market always has a terrific atmosphere and is a wonderful place to wander, with all it's colours and smells. We ate lunch in an Italian restaurant just off the market with a wonderful garden terrace and we were in luck..it was a beautiful sunny Autumn day. Ideal for a light Saturday lunch with some gorgeous food to nibble and chat over. Lilly loved it all...the hustle and bustle, the colours and the noise. She smiled all through and of course gave the onlookers her royal wave!! If they were very attentive they got a clap too, lol!! So a great time was had by all.

But enough of my weekend..."what about the goodies" I hear you say..OK, I'm getting to them!!

My little add on is 4 Harvest Frames...quite simple ones really. But today it's Kim who has the fancy stuff!!
