Feeling sad..

The new year started well.  We moved into our lovely bungalow at the end of November and had just about got organised before Christmas. Our lovely dog Rosie settled better than we expected.

Then last Thurday 7th January she died. It was very sudden. She had been restless the night before and wasn't any better in the morning. Off her food and short of breath plus drinking more than usual.

Then she collapsed so we called the vet to come out but she died before they arrived. They think it was her heart though she was fine the days before. 

We are heartbroken

RIP lovely Rosie. Glad we were there to comfort you in your last hours. You were faithfull and loving to the end xxx

Moving

I'm excited as we've been offered a housing association bungalow. Popped over to see it on Friday and we couldn't believe how spacious it is for a one bedroomed place. It's in a lovely village with a good range of facilities and two pubs - can't be bad!!  Best bit though,
is that we can take our lovely Rosie,  as dogs are allowed.

The garden is a good size, not  like this big field we have here, but glad about that. Too high maintenance for us now.

Will miss our lovely neighbours Sue & Mike but we'll keep in touch I'm sure.

Can't wait to move in now.

Autumn Cherry and Rosie.

WINTER SONG

WINTER SONG.

All the leaves have fallen,

Trees lay bare, in a silent, still beauty

Snow starts to fall,

gently coating the branches in pure white lace

Sombre sky. so grey, with promise of more,

No sun to cheer the day.

Suddenly a breeze swirls,

rustling ghostly cobwebs from the barren branches

An eerie sight, as snow quickly blankets the earth below

A single robin perches on high, singing his winter song.

He cheers the day.

In his inimitable way.

Rosie after her shower!

Sunday Ramblings.

It doesn't seem possible that it's almost May and practically half way through the year. Time seems to pass very quickly as one gets older, no idea why this is, though I suppose it could be down to the faster pace of everyday living.


I've been watching the London Marathon this am and pleased to see Paula Radcliffe finishing well. Her little girl was quite tearful and no doubt very proud of her famous mum.

I'm proud of Paula too, especially as she comes from Bedford, as do one or two other talented athletes and famous people such as the late, great Ronnie Barker, John Le Mesurier and Trevor Huddlestone, not forgetting John Bunyan of course.

I must say I've never read Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress"  as I'm not at all religious.  I do have a Holy Bible though, which my paternal Grannie gave me in 1957 and treasure it, but only because it was a present from her.

I don't believe you have to believe in any God to be a decent person, but everyone is entitled to have their faith and I would always defend that right, but not the evil that comes from extremist fanaticism in any religion, which encourages intolerance and death to non believers or people of different faiths..

I'd better get of my soapbox now....

Have a good day all.
