end of Summer....

and today I am linking up with Mary and Renae for their Tuesday EASY blog hop.

Eating well I'm doing too much of this and am going to have to 
tape my mouth shut soon.

I don't know what it is about this weather but with all these wet and dreary days 
it just makes me want to eat and eat and eat!

At this rate of going I will have to pretend 
I have turned Muslim and wear long loose black clothing to hide all my 
newly acquired lumps and bumps.....

so it is going to have to be less of this

and more of this....

even poor Charlie is fed up with  the rain...

August is at an end 

and I am sad to see summer go

even though we only had it for about

a week or so here in Ireland!

These flowers always bloom in the last few weeks of summer and are a reminder that Autumn is on the way and that the days are getting shorter.

 

 Mr. Raindrops came home after working away  he was home for 3 days 
but has gone back to Spain this morning

 but it was great to see him.  

We had lovely family time together 

and went out to our favourite restaurant

  chatted, laughed with the kids and had fun

and of course I got him to do a few little jobs around the house and garden 
just to keep him busy 
and make him feel wanted!!

Sunday-exhausted...

 after a late night I was'nt feeling the best,
too many glasses of wine!

I am too old for late nights!
How about you? 
Can you cope with late nights?

So on Sunday it was a quiet walk along the lake in the afternoon and a lazy dazy day

Yippee I am so lucky because I won
the giveaway over at

The Crafty Gardener's Blog

Linda has a beautiful blog and it is one that I love to visit. 

The prize was a My Memories Scrapbooking program

I am so delighted because I have never won anything, 

never, ever ever ever.....

I think maybe I should do the lottery this week.

I am going to use the program to display some photos for my Mum.

My brother took his own life a couple of years ago and my Mum has never really got over it, well being honest none of us have, so with the memories kit I can put photos of Cíaran into it and do you know what my Mum will have a smile 
as wide as the ocean when she sees them.

Thanks Linda for a great prize.

A favour please.....

any of you who have word verification on your blogs can you remove it
please please pretty please?

 It is so difficult to decipher

and even with my reading glasses on it's impossible and usually takes me 3 or 4 attempts before I get it right.

It is easy to disable and you won't get any spam, honestly...
 but I bet you will get more comments

To get rid of it is easy peasy

go into settings...

Wishing you all a lovely happy week
full of
 sunshine, smiles and lovely things
