I honestly don’t know where the days and weeks go.  No sooner is it Monday morning and I turn round and we are at Thursday already!  Little Coco is doing well although quite frustrated at her manditory crate rest.  She had a bath last night and smells so much better much to her annoyance!

I Forgot to show you her Five Month old Portrait; BA (before accident)!

We are all concerned today to hear that Her Majesty The Queen is not well and The Royal Family are flying to Balmoral, Scotland to see her.  We hope that Her Majesty recovers quickly.

I am going to show you the Quilt show but for some unknown reason the photographs have decided to not download properly so I will sit down, hopefully tomorrow, to sort them out!!!

I have been car-less today as it has been in for its annual service and MOT and it has passed thank goodness.  With all the rising prices of food, clothing, fuel and heating costs I did not really want to pay for any repairs!!!  I will say that I am quite fed up with all the media reports on the current situation.  I am sure the media stir up far more trouble with all their reporting instead of just telling us the situation and then shutting up about it!

DH has a swimming event on this Saturday which he forgot to tell me about and I had arranged to go out for dinner with some friends so we have now had to re-arrang that.  He has also agreed to stay on for one final year as Chairman of the swimming club!  He was supposed to finish in November but then for various reasons I won’t bore you with he has been asked to stay for one more year.  However it will hopefully be a good year as the swimming club will be fifty years old next year so it will be nice for him to see the club through that!!!  I have suggested that he will need to cut down on some of the other stuff though otherwise I will never see him!!

Anyone else getting bombarded with Christmas things already?  If I have had one email, I have had twenty about buying now to save the rush before Christmas!!  I will admit I have bought a few Christmas presents already mainly because I have seen something and thought it would be a great gift for….!  DH and I are going down to London this year at the end of November and that will be when we get the rest of the Christmas gifts and to see the lights and the stores all dressed for Christmas.  We are also going to see “A Christmas Carol” at The Old Vic when we are there.

Good news is that Nottingham’s Goose Fair will be on this year, after being cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid.  Hopefully the weather will be kind and it will not be raining.  DH and I are planning on going as this was where we had our first date thirty six years ago!!!!!!

I wanted to show you this picture that my very good friend, Susan, sent me.  Taken about two miles from her Farm in Washington State (USA) by a friend of hers.  I just think it is absolutely stunning and just shows you what you can see when you don’t have light polution.  We would never get this sort of photograph here in Derbyshire even though we now have less lights than before.  Thank you Susan for sending it do me.

Anyway I had better dash as I have dinner to get for hungry mouths coming in from work. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xxxxx
