LOVE IS ......

I should be having my Son One and Daughter Two visit today so that will be nice. 

And my Granddaughter and her partner are here for the weekend.

Algie and I have been to the Parish Church this morning for their huge

 Christmas Fair. They had a Hog Roast so I had my lunch there.

 So much meat, Algie enjoyed the feast too.

It was so crowded I had difficulty getting around so I didn't see everything.

But it was nice to get out and have some fresh air.

I did go down to see the damage the sea has done to our Duck Pond.

There is nowhere for the water to go so all the marshes are covered 

from here to the next two villages.

Be safe everyone,

Love and Hugs

Devastation..

Just look at the mess the water leaves behind when the tide recedes a bit. This is the bottom of Blakeney High Street. The flood was on a par with the 1953 flood, which I remember well.

Floating debris

Blakeney underwater.

My family went down last night to watch the awesome destruction of the sea just in our village. The waves were pouring over the bank like a waterfall and the Duck Pond has completely gone.

My grandson said it was like watching the end of the world.

I feel gutted especially for Cobo who has worked so hard for years to make our Duck Pond so beautiful with thousands of pounds worth of ducks.

I spoke to him a while ago and he had been down to see the damage and is now trying a rescue operation as the black swans are walking about the street. 

I  fear there won't be many of the ducks left as they will have drowned.

We were without electricity for a few hours but many are still without.

This devastation has happened all down our East Coast with many homes either lost or flooded. People have had to be evacuated and they must dread what they will find when they return home.

Nothing is worse than the mess left behind after a flood like this.

I feel so sorry for them but thank God I don't think there is any loss of life.

Take care everyone,

A VINTAGE MIX....

 Sweet, sweet Music.

 My little Russian Princess

 Long Ago and Far Away.

Lost in Time.

I thought I'd do some catching up today with some of my vintage montages.

A lovely phone call from a friend ( Veronica ) in Chesterfield this morning.

A gorgeous handmade card, full of scrolls and flowers from my dear friend Cheryl

and my first Christmas card from my cousin Freddie.

Richard came yesterday to help me wrap the large presents. They're all

getting brown paper packages tied up with string this year!

Great fun with Algie wanting to help.

Then Sally took me to Norwich to see Freddie last night with John dog sitting!

He's been in 3 weeks already and the first time I've been well enough to go 

and see him. He looked better than I last saw him and Sally said better 

than last week. He was sitting in a chair so I cut his fingernails while we 

were there.They are doing a new treatment now....Maggots!

Of course he was pleased to see us and I him!

Sadly it will be some weeks before he's home and

will be in hospital for Christmas.

Upwards and Onwards....Algie and I went in the car this morning to

Chapel. We are promised gales, high tides and flood alerts again.

Take care everyone and keep warm.
