A leap of faith?

Apparently, it's the kind of weather that makes some people want to grab a flimsy piece of nylon fabric and some steel poles and jump off a high hill! 




For some, read many!  This was the sight from our landing window yesterday afternoon...





Enlarge photos to see how many - and I couldn't get them all in a single shot.    We must all make the most of this glorious weather in whatever way we can, we all need the vitamin D according to recent reports.

Look what I got..


I've been really lucky lately.   Firstly, I received a packet of lovely vintage patterns from Elaine at Ted and Bunny - beautifully packaged (I'd unpacked them before I had the camera so you'll have to imagine) with gingham ribbon and two lovely buttons.


Then I had a lovely Pay it Forward gift from Jane at Marmalade Jam - handcrafted and full of nice goodies..

Including this bookmark with one of her lovely handmade buttons.


And as if all that wasn't lucky enough, I then won a giveaway from Jill at Third Age Musings - a lovely hand made Moth book..



Links to all these blogs are on my right sidebar - go and have a look.  

Abandoned the latest set of accounts yesterday and popped round to Judith's (Relatively Retiring).  Lovely to sit in her garden and chat and catch up on her news.  Today I've been hard at work all day, determind to finish all this finance stuff and get on to something nicer - like taking my camera out and about.  We're waiting for M to get an appointment to have cataracts done so that will cause a fair amount of chaos when it happens and we shall be housebound much more for a while. Hope the weather holds for a few days - I still haven't had my birthday treat and H needs to go to London.

Wasted a fair amount of time trying to photo these two from our landing window - they kept disappearing over the hill.  We sometimes get as many as twenty floating above us but I guess it's too windy at present.  I expect the view from the air is spectacular.



Visiting cat is keeping us on our toes - 'where's the cat' is a constant cry before we open the front door or the door to the basement.  Hopefully, its people are having a nice time away.
