The children here in Derbyshire went back to school today, no doubt much to the relief of their parents. Although I used to hate our Boys going back to school as I loved having them at home on holiday and especially as all the out of school activities also started again; Piano lessons, Scouts, Swimming etc. Anyway I thought, as it is Throwback Thursday, I would show you my Boys when Youngest first went to Primary school in Reception Class at five years old (almost six) and Eldest was ten and in Year Six in 2005.
Yesterday was a busy day as I was at Eldest’s garage all day and didn’t get back until after 6.00pm. Today I had to go and have a blood test done at 7.10am and then when I got back have been working all day and tomorrow will be home jobs day and get the ironing done so on Saturday I can get on with my quilting. I know don’t faint some quilting done for a quilting blog (!) although I will not be able to show any of it to you as it is for Christmas!!!!!
Coco didn’t want to miss out on #TBT so here is a puppy picture of her from 2022 when she was four months old.
It is, of course, the time of year where the machines are very busy in the fields getting the harvests in and one of the nice things about this time of year is after the harvests they, where we live, have ploughing matches on the newly havested fields. DH and I, if we have a spare weekend, try and go. These pictures were from 2018 and our home County of Nottinghamshire. They also have produce and livestock shows as well.
Also other competitions take place like carriage driving (a favourite sport of the late Prince Philip)
Mercy, how time flies!! My grands have been in school since mid-August…dumb time as it is still summer!! When I was teaching and when I went to school we started the last week of August or the first week of September and got out of school the first week of June. Hubby sells Massey Ferguson equipment!! I used to love riding my horse in the fields after the hay had been cut…smelled great and I could see the ground! I got to go on a carriage ride when I was in Tealby – a friend of the ladies we were visiting had one and took 3 of us on a wonderful ride through the Lincolnshire Wold – loved it!!!
Love the photos of the younger boys and the one of you is just so precious, Coco. The fairs are so much fun and seeing the huge pumpkins and how much they weigh is always amazing!
