Well I don't know about slow but September has certainly been mellow for our family. On the 21st September 2012 at 13.57pm we welcomed this gorgeous little boy into the world.....
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day, when its cold outside I've got the month of May. I guess you'd say "what would make me feel this way?" My girl, talking 'bout my girl........
Last weekend we celebrated the Diamond Jubilee of our Queen, Elizabeth II. Sixty years of dedicated service to her country is an amazing feat, a lifetime devoted to her role in life. Whether you are a staunch royalist or not, this Lady must be admired for her un-changing determination and grace throughout her reign. Never again will we see a Monarch like her, never putting a foot wrong and maintaining that very British 'aloofness' that sets us apart from the rest of the world (coupled with a very dry sense of humour!).
Throughout the country we celebrated with street parties, miles of bunting, a breathtaking flotilla on the Thames, a fab concert in front of Buckingham Palace and an amazing fly past by all our great planes including the Red Arrows! This plus a four day weekend!
Here at the cottage, I decided to decorate my windows with memorabilia from the 50's, 60's and some 70's. It was such fun getting all the things together, some bought and some borrowed from friends and family. It was really great to hear the conversations of locals looking in the windows, "I had one of those" or "My Mum had one of those"! I really wanted them to be a talking point and they certainly were. It is so difficult to take photos of these windows, so I hope you manage to spot something you may remember from the 'good old days'.
