Where did that week go ... I had my girlfriend ring me last week to see if I had 'stole' her year - she wanted to know where it had gone ... I think we are all feeling a bit like that at the present... I've had a busy couple of weeks & to top things off my beloved camera - which I might add isn't all that old - has decided to die on me & after consulting with my local camera shop was advised it would be a very expensive exercise to fix or even see about fixing as it sounded like a motor within ... ohhh dear so I quickly bought myself a cheapie while there ... Of course the short of all of this is I now have to learn to use, yet, another camera ... I think it is a sad state of affairs that cameras are becoming like mobile phone a very expendable item in our society of throw-a-way items... My hubby was telling our daughter that we have been in our new home 6 years & we have had as many cameras - sadly he is about right as that is when I started using digitals...

My sewing machine has been getting a pretty good work-out of late too - I've taken photos but will upload them when I know how again ... ha ha
Now for something pretty I found on my morning walks ... we used to call these Fairy trees as our kids thought they looked like little fairies flying in & out of the leaves with the breeze. Well it turns out they are called Fairy Dusters from the family of the Calliandra species ... they are so delicate ...
