Heart of Devon

Merry Christmas to you all - even if your loved ones are miles away - looking forward to a better 2014 xx

I haven't blogged for ages, but today I feel the need - we have just found out that my lovely mum has Alzheimer's, it is getting quite bad very quickly and really is frightening for all the family, especially my step-dad, they have just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, she is 83 but it comes as a shock at any age - we are all learning about this together - make sure you tell the important people in your life every day that you love them. I love you mum x

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ON SUNDAY TO ALL US LOVELY MUMS My daughter is loving Australia, she is in perth and renting a house, we are hoping to visit later in the year, cant wait, i will miss her on mothers day, but a card arrived today, kids dont you just love them !!! xx

My lovely daugther - i love her to bits and will miss her terribly - she has met a lovely new man and they are off to Perth, Australia to start a new life, he has lived there for 9 years, she has handed in her notice and is off the end of January - I wish her all the luck and love in the world.  with her brother 

Finally Christmas is here, will be enjoying the break this year, its been a long year. Looking forward to 2013 and a visit to Scotland planned and tickets to see Mrs Browns boys live, really enjoyed our firms do this year, at Saunton Sands, Braunton as every year, we missed the flooding by hours, thoughts go out to anyone in the country who may have been flooded, may next year be better for you.

We are trying in vain to make our modern house get a bit of feeling, we have tried this wallpaper and i have to say it is very good likness to brick !!. Let me know what you think !!!

We recently took mother in law to a lovely lavender farm near to us in Hartland, it was a lovely day but windy, we had coconut and lavender cake in the tearooms and they bought us a David Austin rose for the garden in a glorious yellow, and it seems to be doing well in the garden. Now that Becky is back home we have taken to going for walks around the Village in the evening (better than sitting on the sofa) and I have been trying out the new camera. We are currently redoing the bathroom, I have chosen another eye catching paper for one wall, more on the soon. our lovely church hartland lavender centre
