OCTOBER GEMS..

No not the sparkly sort.....

...the ones that make you really appreciate your lot.....A beautiful afternoon spent with good company (DH and grandson) enjoying the marvellous scenery and mother natures treasures.....



Rutland water...



...people messing about in boats....


....exploring the woodland paths...







....man and boy in perfect harmony...

...then the spoils of an unexpected car boot sale....still carrying on until the weather breaks.....



Ok so its only repro..but it will look great in my kitchen....

...............and the best find of all.........












I already have one of these but without the box, and I have to say that it is the box which appeals to me the most...I just love the illustrations, It will look great in my sewing room!  I think I might have to take the other one to a little antique and collectors fair that my SIL and I are doing at Lincoln showground in December..

Well lets hope the rest of the month proves as pleasurable as these first few days. We are off to Gloucester at the weekend. Never been before so hoping for a good rummage.
The new coat is almost finished so should be able to give you a peek in a day or two, hoping to take it with me, so I'd better get it done!!

Finally I have been very honoured to be passed the 'versatile blogger' award by Amy at Blighty Boutique.



I am very flattered but I am supposed to tell you seven interesting facts about me........well I will be honest and say I did this once before and can't for the life of me think of anything else at the moment, so I am going to think about this a bit longer.  I should also pass it on to 5 other lovely bloggers, but there are so many of you that deserve it far more than me that I hate to leave anyone out, so am not going to do this either.
I do hope Amy will forgive me and still read my blog!

Well that really is all for now, its getting very late again..

  1. Those woods look absolutely perfect for a day of exploring, you could even find a Wild Thing or two.

  3. 7.30 in the misty yesterday morning I rode Bruce across the fields to the top of a hill where there's 2 Bronze Age barrows (they certainly knew to choose an honourable spot) and a wraparound view of the countryside.
    We stood in the early morning sunshine listening to the skylarks and soaking up the moment. I can't begin to describe how beautiful it was.

    I had one of those sewing machines when I was little- my goodness look what its responsible for all these years later!

    hope you're having a good week xx

  4. Lovely photos - looks like a super time was spent and worth far more than sparkly "real" gems! Your little sewing machine is lovely - I seem to remember those from way back! Congrats on being a versatile blogger too!

  19. What a wonderful day spent with your husband and grandson, Jenny. Those are the things in life that really matter. :)
    That sewing machine is a little gem. It's like looking into a time capsule for the 1940/50s.
    Have a wonderful week!
