Happy 2016!!!!!

So here I am...alive, well and a survivor of the christmas and new year period.

So 2015 wasn't a great year....blogging took a serious plunge and for those of you that personally know me well will you will know the reasons...for those of you that know me just through my writing don't need to know any more than that I had reasons to be sporadic, absent minded and most of the time non-existent not only on this blog but the bee blog and the allotment and life in general. It wasn't a good year at all but I am alive and well and it's important to keep moving forward....

So with that out of the way I am going to try and get myself back into the swing of things. Not only was I not blogging but I also wasn't reading so I intend to start visiting my favourite blogs again and try to get myself back into a routine...it may be a little different to before but I have always thrived on routine and it's time to start thriving again!!

Christmas was nice...a little different and weird but we had a nice one....didn't feel like getting the camera out much but did get a few pics of Trojan opening his presents.
This was his third christmas with us and he is starting to get the hang of opening presents...so much so this year that when he had finished opening one of his tried to take one of mine out of my hands so that he could open that too....just as well he had plenty of presents to open!!

Trojan, presents, christmas
Trojan having a wonderful
'ripping' frenzy.

Even after opening a bone Tro was
happy move onto the next prezzie!

Trojan, presents, christmas
Trojan made a wonderful mess and
had a wonderful time!!
Of course I took far more photos than I posted but maybe you wouldn't be quite as excited as me to see tro opening all of his presents!!

I did get lots of lovely christmas presents myself too. Two beautiful dresses....(yes....I can be feminine and even spire to look more like a female this year!!) and also a new tiller from the Hubby. I don't know if I told you that mine got stolen last year?? It's a bit of a mundane story...partly my own fault...but circumstance of the year played a large part and as they say '$hit happens' so He replaced it for me and I am very anxious to try it out as mine was due for a serious service. He did get me a wonderful pair of Ugg boots too and I felt thoroughly spoilt!!

Okay...not really sure where this post is going any more but I just wanted to wish all my readers (that is if I have any left) A very happy New Year.....apologise for my absence and lack of responding to comments and to let you know that i will be posting again soon.

  1. I'm sorry that you have had a rough time and hope things improve. A few Bloggers who I 'visit' seem to have a a poor 2015 too. We suffer from a Christmas Curse - bad things happen to us over Christmas. This year we thought that we had survived unscathed and them we had a little dog having an emergency operation last Monday and a warning that it could go badly wrong. We had an anxious evening waiting for the vet to call but fortunately she came through it all and is back home and almost back to her normal bouncy self!

    1. Hi Sue...glad to hear that your dog came through okay...it's always hard when a pet has problems...after all they are as much a part of the family as the humans. xx

  2. Happy new year to you too. I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad 2015, I do hope that a new year brings you more happiness and that this is a much better year for you. Archie is just the same as Trojan, he knows exactly what to do with presents, he's such a placid dog usually but give him a present and he rips in to it, so funny to watch.
