Is it my imagination or is the world as we know it spinning out of control and plunging headlong into a maelsrom of disasters unknown previously to mankind, or is that just the plot of a hollywood blockbuster? well either way that's the way of the world here at the moment. Do you remember Theo having both his arms broken last year by some thugs in York? well he was a witness in their court case last week and it was a huge deal for him, the indications are that they will get off but I hope Theo can put it behind him and not lose faith in the justice system, he doesn't have room to build a batcave anyway! You just want your kids to be happy don't you? sorry can't say too much but last few weeks we've had a lot on our minds. But onto happier thoughts...

 

 Now , Emilie is a very naughty girl and was told as much at the hopital yesterday at the fracture clinic, I was also dragged into this but heh! when has she ever listened to my advice!!! she had to go to hospital to have her pot redone on sunday night as it was collapsing, have you done anything to cause this they asked ? not really she replied ! horrors she lied!! she was in three performances at Hattons performing arts show at the weekend , one routine involved her doing a handstand over another dancer, that is hard with a pot on your leg!and in rehearsals she managed to smash a footlight with her pot! dancers are something else I think they live in a parallel ubiverse or something, who in their right mind would do a one footed tap routine?

Have you been watching 'so you think you can dance?' no? well, come on, what are you doing on a saturday night ? you must vote for Matt who used to go to Hattons and his mum Denice works in the dance shop opposite Bespoke country on Bar Street in fact when you watch the little info bit about Matt he dances on Bar Street at the beginning. Apparantly they are comming to film him again in Scarborough on sunday if he gets through again. I hope he does he's fantastic!!!  and his mum is lovely. So vote for Matt!!!

What do you think to this little cutie pops then ? couldn't resist a little Bee update with her new cardigan hand knitted  by Angela Knipe she is such a happy little girl and is loving sitting in the garden with her grandma in the sunshine!!

Have you been attacking your garden as well? visions of loveliness are filling my head this year, although this always happens after my new issue of Country Homes falls on the mat with a summer special garden supplement in it! Steve has actully made a couple of flowerbeds which is quite excitng we just need to fill them with cottage garden plants now so I can flit around Sarah Raven like in a cutting garden filling my house with vases of the most sensuous, fragrant blooms. Reality of course will be very different, the delphiniums will be blown over, the lupins will be eaten overnight by greenfly and one puff of wind and the peonies will have gone! not that I'm a cynical garener or anything but you see it's just experience has taught me you can't beat a good shrub!
Off to get the train to York now, hope you all have a lovely day.
