Stuart took Khan and I too a wonderful park the other day and we both loved it. He ran and ran around like a lunatic, sniffing everything he could and scenting everything. He paddled in the natural spring, drinking from the clean cool water, wandered in the high grass and explored the bushes with glee. It was such a joy to watch him having fun.Stuart showed me a bridge him and a team of lads from work experience built when they left the army, yes its still there and is brilliant. It takes you from the main park area onto the iece of lad where the ruins of the old castle building is and the natrual stream feeds into the moat (which was rather revolting needed dredging and is being cleared forestry first before they do it). The ruins where great and I spent ages taking hundreds of pics that I have yet to work on as yet, (Im a bit weird about my pics so I tend to work on them til Im happy with them and put them up).
So technically you have here a few untreated snaps that I took as a sneak preview.
I must admit after the slow walk and numerous rest stops I had to make I was exhausted so we decided no to push it too far and go home for a rest, as we where due to be taken out for a meal that evening to the local carvery as a welcome home meal.
I came back relaxed had a soak and then decided as I felt so good that I was going to wear a dress, and attempt some make up as well. I even straightened my hair (well tryed) lol and then felt feminine but highly conscious of myself and kinda like a fish out of water. But Stuart was so happy it made it worth it to see him smile and beam again when I walked into a room. Must admit I had a little kick from it too. The meal was lovely I stuffed myself silly on the carvery and totally loved it...Stu and Jon Jon (our bro come bestest blokey mate) ate their fill on currys and stuff...which although smelled lovely didnt appeal to me as I much prefer a good old traditional roast. I looked like a little buddah waddling out I can tell you!!!!
Yesterday was another busy day, we went into Castleford and I met up with Linda and Paul who I have made friends with online. We spent a lovely few hours beetling through charity shops, nattering and generally having a wonderful time. She is fantastic anda great giggle. I hope we can meet more often and make a good friendship, she is clever, loving and a gentle person and I like it. Bristolians even though they are my native city people are so brash loud and fast paced, I cant seem to deal with them much anymore. I prefer my sedate northern new people, family and new friends (I cant leave out my sisters from another mother Twinny and Rhy cause I love them soo much but they are different cause they are calmer and nicer !!!!). I am going hme to Bristol next month to see my son for his 18th but only intend to stay a few days then escape back here lololol. I think by then I would have had enough of the old city to last me a few more months.
Well love and light for now Im off into the networld to talk to friends and then after mail check and returning mails Im gonna do the work on my pictures and work on the ones I took this morning as we did a little work on the garden yesterday .....but that is for another post lol...xxxx
love you xxxx
