Hello again.

Hello, I can hardly believe that it is so long since I have written a word or two in my journal. We have had a wonderful holiday and had all that lovely weather the first weeks in May and as we were in Norfolk the temperature was well up in the 70’s which was great for us coming from the frozen north ha ha well that the way it feels today with the wind and the rain. Since we arrived home I have been really down for no reason at all but have just not been able to cheer up at all and have been in a bad mood (poor Stuart).

I have been messing about on Friends Reunite (which is free now great) and have found a long lost cousin and have enjoyed chatting to him by email, have exchanged photo’s and he said I have not changed a bit since he saw me last about thirty years ago, this anti wrinkly cream I use must be the real thing, either that on he is telling porky pies.

I did mean to keep a journal during our holiday but with the weather being so good I just did not have the time or the inclination sorry about that. I did take some pictures and will have them for you in a day or two I just unloaded the camera today and we have been home over a week, so unlike me. We did not have one spot of rain in two weeks till the journey home.

Brought back my tomato plants again and bought a new tomato house just a plastic one which I think would have been great if we had not had gale force north winds for the last week I have never seen such winds at this time of year it was like winter except the trees are in full leaf and ready to take off has it been like that down you way.

I am going to put in a photo that my cousin sent me can you guess who had the big bit cake at the wedding.

                          

The date of this picture is August 1950.

Think thats it just now will return soon.

                                                 Love

Glad you had a nice Holiday and the weather was kind to you, it's done nothing but rain the last few days, so much for Spring. I'm a big fan of Freindsreunited, having found quite a few old school friends. Love the photo, lol and I can see you like your cake too.

Take care

Hi Joan,  I`m glad you had such a lovely holiday, thank goodness the weather wasn`t like it is now. We`ve had strong winds, rain and it`s felt really cold at times. You say the frozen north but the south isn`t much better at the moment...lol! Look at you with that big piece of cake!  You were really cute though. :o)

Love Sandra xxxx

Hope you soon feel a bit brighter; I think it is something to do with the current weather cos I am feeling a bit low myself. What we need is for day to day life to get easier and not so depressing with the financial climate, a bit of decent weather and limitless cash!!! I can dream can't I, lol?????

Lovely to hear from you Joan and that you had a nice holiday away with lots of sunshine!  I always feel a bit blue when I return from a holiday as well.  I expect it's natural and you will snap out of it soon.  (((hugs)))
