From York to Edinburgh

Well a ver long day but worth every minute. Departed York by 9 and headed for scotland. Beautiful scenery along the way. Morning tea at scalborough!!!
What a fantastic place you could never explain it to anyone took lots of photos but can't imagine even they will do it justice.

Reluctantly left and headed to Whitby and then for afternoon tea to Berwick another interesting place so much history and managed to buy a necklace there.
Left there to arrive in Edinburgh at around 6. A festival was in full swing and the person we were to get the key for our accommodation missing! Went up the road to a tidal Scottish pub to have a meal and wait but he never turned up so got some accommodation at the travel Lodge and hope he turns up tomorrow as staying 2nights.

Singapore Hot, wet!

Well firstly apologies our hotel in Singapore was being renovated and no Internet. Our trip from Melbourne was wonderful so much food and drink sand time passed quickly. AUstralia could learn from the efficiency of airport. Within 20 mins of landing had our luggage and a cab and we were on our to city.

Went to Markets but only purchased a couple of small things having trouble too much in my case when I left home. Been eating the food and had breakfast in hotel this morning which covered everything from lettuce,corn, cauliflower, eggs fruit and a pastries not forgetting porridge oh my god! Ate so much not needed to eat in anticipation of all the food we will get on the way to Manchester.

I will close till we are Able to get wi fi in Scotland.

Jeanette Overseas Trip

Just to let all my followers know I am traveling overseas from August 26th watch this space for updates.

KRISTY TURNS 30!

On Sunday 1st August, 2010 Kristy reached to magic age of 30! A wonderful wife, mother, daughter, daughter-in - law.  Family joined Kristy for Breakfast at the Casino, and then later in the day she and Cam went to the Comedy Festival while Nanna Net got some quality time with Emily (or Emmy as she calls herself).  You can tell I am not complaining.
 Each time you see her she has reached another stage - she is just so beautiful and has a mind like a sponge - she just absorbs so much.  She can tell you what everything is - and I am sure be a accompanished artist.  For someone not 20 months old yet she does beautiful drawings.

The Family

Emily eating a Muffin

previously she had a breakfast of Pineapple

She just loves it.

 

Oh I do look cheeky.

 

I have just been shopping with my trolley Auntie Simone and Uncle Richard gave me. Nanna Anderson bought me a shopping bag to put my groceries in.

I can tell you what all my groceries are - carrots, brocoli, tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkin, bananas, oranges you name it I will tell you.

THEY ARE ENGAGED!!!!

Congratulations to Richard and Simone on the announcement today of their engagement. We are all thrilled with their news.

Apparently found it a little difficult to drink her take away coffee today - and insisted it was water - she was assured it was coffee and was then told well look and see and found the most beautiful ring.

Cameron, Kristy, Emily, Luke and Jackie are as pleased as I am - our only regret that they didnt announce it while in Tasmania last weekend - cause we could have celebrated with a Champagne.

Needless to say Mum is sitting having aquiet red and thinking of them tonight.

Congratulation I love you both.

TODAY'S THOUGHTS

Zillah Leura Bramich

21st December, 1913 - 5th July 2006

Four years have passed and today I reflect on her life as a Daughter, Wife, Mother, Nanna and Great Nan.

Nothing has changed since last year - a photo of Mum still sits in my kitchen watching over as I cook. I am sure she would not always agree with what I cook - but she would still be watching intently. I shall take her to my new home in a couple of weeks so she can share the joy and happiness I will find in living there as I have here at Bimbadeen Court.

This photo was taken on Mum's 90th Birthday.

A Mother's Farewell to her Children

When I must leave you for a little while,

please do not grieve and shed wild tears

And hug your sorrow to you through the years,

but start out bravely with a gallant smile

And for my sake and in my name,

live on and do all the things the same.

Feed not your lonliness on empty days,

but fill each waking hour in useful ways.

Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,

And I, in turn will comfort you and hold you near.

And never, never be afraid to die,

for I am waiting for you in the Sky.

YOU ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN MUM, WE ALL LOVE YOU.
