Before I start posting, lets back up a little. In 1983 I married Paul, I had my first child, Daniel in 1985 and my second Michael in 1987, we all lived in small village near Kingsbury, just outside Tamworth. in 2005 we sold up and moved to Sixt sur Aff in France.
I will add more about me and my life in England later, please check back if you want to know more. The blog works by showing my latest posting first, if you want to read the older posts then click on older posts at the foot of each page, or search by date in the right hand column, I appreciate your comments, I hope you enjoy reading it

The men at work

Well someone's got to do it.

New clothes

I wanted some new clothes for Christmas day, the men in the family have there Christmas jumper competition, Paul has a cardigan for this year, just a mass of colours, a cardigan only your granny could buy you, us girls prefer to dress better, Although not a big eater I've been a little, er, plump, I'm due to have a hysterectomy in February and I've been having injections to reduce, shall we say the swelling, I've dropped two dress sizes and I'm wondering what size I will be after my op, its nice to be able to buy "nice clothes", Paul wants me in dresses after the op but I'm not really a dress wearer, we will see come the summer, lets see what he wants to buy me in the sales. I've had my hair cut so I'm ready to face the day.

Some wintery Photographs

Not great quality, they were taken with my phone.

Thanks for your comments

As I said, I'm guilty of not leaving comments myself, I do check your blog Blu, normally your Blucamels http://blucamels.blogspot.com/ one and now looking at http://bludanslaforet.blogspot.com/, Clueless, http://inspectorclueless.blogspot.com/ I'm watching with interest,you have been busy. French Fancy, http://frenchfancy.blogspot.com/ I've never seen your blog before but an excellent read with loads of comments, I've book marked it and will pop in regularly.

Blog, why bother?

Its a lot better than keeping a diary and its easy to share, but, you can never be sure if anyone actually reads it, many the time I've mentioned something or discussed photographs I've posted with my sister Yvonne, "I've not looked today" she will say, this is possibly about something I posted two or three days ago! Or, maybe thousands are reading about Half Acre Farm, but no one is commenting, or very few are following the blog, now I'm as guilty as everyone else, I read a few blogs regularly and others occasionally, but often forget to comment, even just to say, "OK read it", so if you are reading this please tell me, you don't need to critique if you don't want to, just so I know that I'm being heard.
