Visit to Kathryn at Worcester Uni!

Just some pics of Kathryn and her room at Uni!


Kathryn and Mark at the desk end of the room!
This is Tori at the bed end, to the right of the mirror is the washhand basin, all those CD's are the freebies at doors of shops, Kathryn has collected for years. Loads of photos on the wall to the left of Tori, so if you are family you are on that wall!!
Kathryn taking a pic of me taking a pic! She is very relaxed and happy and appears to be sharing with a great group of students, I think the thing that impressed me was there are 3 floors in Chandler 'East Side' (as they call themselves) and they all pop in and out and visit one another!

We went into Worcester for Sunday lunch and I took a few more pics


View up the River Severn.



Worcester Cathedral outside

and in!

Pics round my garden!


I'm really proud of my 'Brugmansia' it has flowered and flowered all summer and the scent is unbelievable.

beautiful berries on the 'Pyracantha'




Sedum, the colour has really come out in them this week


My husband rescued this miniture rose from the nearly dead sale at Homebase last year and it is still flowering its little heart out!
Been busy in the garden today, the weather has been gorgeous, so I jet washed the Eglu. This is a pic of before. It doesn't look to dirty does it? thats the ease of an eglu!

and this is after, totally sparkling!!


any wee beasties that survived that washing will be got by the powder!!!!! Then I cleaned out the run and whilst I was doing that the chickens where having a wander round look where I found 'Bree'

hiding in the Greenhouse, probably should have left her but she was pecking at the tomatoes!!!



Here are some friends that are in my garden too, this is one of my fairies, I have two but the other one was hiding

This is 'Mikey' he sits by the pond, seems to like being there.


This little chap lives near the caster oil plant, where its lovely and warm!

Busy Day!

Thursday 21st September
Did a batch cook of Vegetable lasgagne, Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup and Quorn Curry for Kathryn, ready to freeze and take up on Sunday! My back is killing me, standing in one position does me no favours!!! Went to the Eglu got 2 eggs, I have an awful feeling that the chucks have Red spider mite. So providing my back is better tomorrow I shall dismantle the eglu cart it up to the patio, jetwash it, cart it back down again, put it back together! Then when the chucks have put themselves to bed I shall shut them in and cover them in Red Spider Mite powder and hope it works.
Also doing battle (again) with Tori's school- it appears they may not have informed us of the closing dates for her Science GCSE re-takes!!!! My goodness will they be in for trouble if they have!!! She has set her heart on achieving A -A* which she is well capable of, but because of the problems she had last year she will need to do re-takes.............. to be continued.

Sassy has a new friend!

Sassy has found Tori, I was really worrying about her, she had hardly moved from K's room so I blitzed it, clean sheets, tidyed, washed windows, hoovered and nearly blocked it up, dusted etc I found 10 teaspoons, 3 of them in an old chocolate mousse pot, 1 in a Muller rice pot and the others looked like they had been in yoghurt!!! I wondered why I had been so short, altho Kathryn had brought down most of the mugs I did find a plastic cup with something growing in it???! But look I found the floor!!! and I know how long it will stay tidy for tee hee!!

After all this activity Sassy moved over to Tori's room, which I am very pleased about!

Currently one very contented cat, I hope it lasts! Doesn't Tori look cute with plaits!
