Apologies

Goodness!  I can't believe it's been almost a week since my last post.  I do apologise.  Last week was just crazy busy!!

Here it is in pictures

Hubby celebrated a birthday on Wednesday, so Monday and Tuesday were busy spent wrapping gifts and getting a cake etc.


Collin the Caterpillar, chosen by little miss



 A handmade gift, all our hand prints


Wednesday also saw us head up to the City for the Olympics


Luckily the rain held off



No10 was festooned in colourful bunting




Horse Guards Parade and the Mall where the Beach Volley Ball was staged



Admiralty Arch



The Olympic countdown clock now displays the date and time


Nelson wearing a rather colourful hat!




The fourth column at Trafalgar Square



Flags flying



A fab day was had by all.


The end of the week was spent enjoying the garden and staying at Mum and Dads whilst hubby did some much needed decorating.


On Sunday we headed for Waverley again for a stroll in the GlOrIoUs morning sunshine



Some sweet black calves in the field next to the river



Pretty wildflowers



 
and fading Cow Parsley



Hope you've all had a lovely week and made the most of the sunshine
