First EGG!!!

We now have our first egg and after thinking about it for a while I decided to just simply fry it and taste the yummy goodness!!

I have named the chickens Ruby and Bonnie. Ruby had red, sore skin where her feathers were missing when she arrived, but now she has normal skin colour and I hope the feathers grow back! Bonnie has a very crossed beak and she sometimes misses what she is trying to pick up! They are two chickens given to me from a friend of a friend. I don't know where they originally came from! They have settled very well and do lots of scratching about at the side of the house.

It is half term week now and I am going to Northumberland with my mum and with my maths study book! There is no Internet where I am going and I will miss everyone's blogs for a week!

We break up for the summer holidays on the 23rd July which seems a long way off right now!

I will be able to do some crafting whilst I am away and then do a blog when I return to show you.

Will miss you all!

Love Lucy xx

Internet woes

Hello everyone, finally the Internet has come on when i want to use it! We have had weeks of on and off problems with it! (It is still painfully slow to do anything on it)

It has also been a busy few weeks at school. Just a little update on the Garden front - Plants are finally growing and filling out.

My next exciting news is that I now have ... 2 CHICKENS!!! They are a little tatty but hopefully after a lot of TLC, feathers will grow back and they will start laying delicious eggs.

I have been trying for ages to get the photographs to upload, unfortunately the internet is still playing up. This is sooooo frustrating!! Yippeeee!! At long last!

Garden Cross Stitch

My mum and I have been busy doing some cross stitching. Mine is the small watering can (I haven't had a lot of time to do crafting at the moment!) We enjoyed choosing the colours and it brightened up a few grey days when the sun would not shine!

At least these gardens will last through the winter!!! Happy weekend,

Garden update!

We have had some rain today which has watered the garden nicely, as the newly planted flowers were beginning to look a little tired.

The front garden is slowly filling with plants, but it is sometimes difficult to keep the doggies off them!!

I have also started a few little projects in my small amounts of spare time. I hope they will be ready soon!! :D

Happy weekend

Beaded spring :D

I have been busy making some 'spring like' beading, before going back to school. I may not get chance to bead until the summer holidays in August and so I have made the most of the Easter break!!

I now just have to finish a different bracelet for a friends birthday.

Happy weekend!!

Lancaster, Alice in Wonderland and Flowers!!

For our first proper day out since the cold Winter, my Mum, my much older brother and I went on the train to Lancaster. Here are some photographs:

This is the Keighley train station (The Victorian side) .

Lancaster Castle. We could only go around part of the Castle as it is still in use as a Prison/Court House.

We also visited Lancaster Priory.

Just one of the gorgeous stained glass windows. This one is a modern replacement and the blue glass looks beautiful.

Last night I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D with a group of friends. It was GREAT !!!!

Here are a few flowers in the front garden, I am still waiting for the others to flower.

I just love the Lung wort and Cowslips.

My all time favourite at this time of year has to be Bleeding Heart (Lady in the Bath)

I can remember playing with the flowers when I was very little!!

I now feel like going to make a flower out of beads!!!!

Spring Gardening!

I have been busy doing Easter gardening. I have dug a trench, laid some edging, put down a few slabs, built a small stone wall, laid gravel and I did this to open up and neaten our small front garden. :D This is the result so far:

When I started this project I didn't think I would like hard landscaping but it was quite enjoyable.

I hope you have all had a super Easter!!
