Still here

Gosh I havent blogged in a month. Just dropping by to say im still here!

My last post was about that 10K i ran......well i did the second one and beat my time by 2 minutes so was happy with that!

My weeks are busy and time passes so quickly. Caleb will be 2 in 3 months time - i cant believe that! Look at my big boy now (yes, in the rain, as is usual in this blooming country)

Done a little bit of stitching recently, i'll post a picture soon. After Caleb goes to bed at night i get the house kind-of-tidy, get organised for the next day, watch some mindless tv and then im exhausted and ready for bed - not time for much else at the moment!

Anyone on facebook? Let me know! Im better with that because its on my phone.

I actually stitched

I havent stitched in ages. Have had absolutely no desire. Got so many unfinished pieces but i dont want to work on any of them. Its been months. Anyway, last night, alongside my glass of red wine, i found something and started work on it. Nice and easy, no thread changes. Its a freebie design from Passione Ricamo called "Fairy Celebration." Im hoping it will hold my interest

We are so enjoying these lovely sunny days. The weekend is to bring more of the same, shame my husband is at work and missing it. Im enjoying my blog again, using it as a way to record life.

On the way to visit some horses yesterday we got sidetracked by the boats and spent the morning at the marina instead. Caleb enjoyed the kid play area too

Hope the sun is shining where you are! This is DH's last ever weekend of work - yeah!! Starts his new job in 2 weeks.

To the beach

It's a beautiful day. Beautiful days can be rare on the West Coast of Scotland. We're off to the beach. Here's my car-obssessed driver

Our favourite local beach, just 2 minutes from home. Caleb would sit here for hours throwing stones into the water (the only thing he will sit for hours doing)....i think i'll take my book :-)

Day out

We went to Pollok Country Park in Glasgow today for its annual family day. Pollok House sits within the estate, a beautiful house built in 1752.

There were lots of things to see and do. I bought a beautiful handcrafted necklace and bracelet and got lots of business cards/contacts for a Fairtrade event i am organising for November as part of my job. Caleb's favourite area was with the animals. He sure loved the highland cows! We couldnt get him away from this fence! I dont like cows, but i do like Highland cows, they're kinda cute

I am so glad DH has a new job, it means no more shift work or weekend work which means lots more fun family days out like this!
