About Me

Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm a lapsed crafter of late but still managing my diary Scrapbooking, plus cards as required. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband and son. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, not really got back to the latter since the pandemic. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I am a Christian.

My Dad

I was wondering where my love of bees comes from and today, as I sat in the Garden of Remembrance in memory of my Dad who passed from this earth some 17 years ago, I seem to remember him loving bees too.







I think he even liked honey, which I definitely do not!











Anyway, I lit my candle in the church and made my way to the garden.





This year I wasn't hampered firstly by a funeral about to start and secondly by a gardener in the garden.

Neither did I take my harp this year but I did take my camera and was struck by the flurry of bees on the plant behind the crucifix.







It is a beautiful sunny day with a cooling breeze as I remember my Dad with fondness.

(((BJ))) My dad passed away suddenly last October. I remember him when I see Goldfinshes, colourful gardens, especially roses, when I walk along the beach, when I see a bird of prey and loads of other times when he pops into my head:)

A lovely place yo remember your dad. Sue
