Summertime is here in the U.K. and Wow its so good not to miss.. As we don’t get treated often to waking up day after day to perpetual Sun.. So while it is here I have been making the most of the outdoors, our garden and of course our Granddaughter..
Work also for me during the Summer months are one of my busiest times, as I now work as a Relief Support Worker, I fill in for annual leave and illness cover.. So with that combined with the Good weather has left very little time for anything else..
The Allotment is reaping its rewards now, and we are on a roll with picking peas, and tomorrow after I am back from working the evening/night shift, the freezing of Peas and Broccoli will be on the go along with the making of Soup from the stalks which I am giving a go this year too..
The Joy has also been had in looking after our Granddaughter . Who is just loving our allotment especially the Pea-picking and eating 
.. She is a true outdoor nature girl and to say she is just over 2 and a half years old already knows many plants and weeds..
So in-between working and gardening I have been spending lots of ME TIME just relaxing and enjoying the Summer.. I decided to give technology a miss for a time.. Hence that’s why I have not been on Word Press in a week..
I really value my followers here on Word Press and I thank you all so very much for the comments upon my last post.. I have yet to answer them all.. and repay your visits..
But at times one has to be a little selfish and put Self first so I may be absent a little while longer on WordPress as in 
my spare time I will be busy with harvesting and some ‘Me-Time’…
So Take care and Love to you all… I will be back Soon to see what you have all been up to..
And thank you for your continued support you are all very special friends.
Love and Blessings to you All..

Hi Sue! What a sweet thing she is, too. My youngest grandchild is 5yrs old now, name is Kade, and he taught me how to play ‘rock, paper, scissors’ the other day here. Guess I’m not too old to learn new things. LOL Training is finally winding down and the projects on the house as well so I can get it up for sell soon. My roommate lost her job so it has been a bit stressful all the way ’round here for the past couple months or more. She is a cancer survivor and now without insurance and looking hard for work so send some of your good energy and thoughts our way, will you? I love coming here and have missed it so as all of my energy is drained. I only post once in awhile so it has been hard as I love to write. Glad you are enjoying the outdoors and your granddaughter. Such wonderful things in life. Blessings to you always.

Though my work time has been hard sat in the office all night and then trying to sleep through the warm summer days not so good.

If our posts are not as frequent as we would like it is better to have quality posts than rushed ones. Their is far too much pressure in our modern world it is not selfish to take the time needed to calm the mind. With a calm mind we are at our best.
