Memories…

Building a paper craft mobile for the children room.

I have stickers on some windows but not on all!

 Hello friends!

Yesterday I told you about sparrows banging in the  windows. I have raised the white flag ! 😂 about thirty sparrows from the nest we are having above our window shutters were eating and flying outside. Now they are on the ground looking at my white flag but no more banging on the windows . One problem solve, another one appears!

Bandit our dog has serious digestive problems and I have an appointment to the vet tomorrow afternoon. He is not at all well! We will see tomorrow what the vet says.

On Friday our son will fly from Dubai to Edinburgh with his family for Autumn break. I think this will be quite a challenge with the two kids. I drove twice on the left in England once with my French car and a manual car and once with a rented automatic car . I landed in Inverness got the car ( never drove an automatic before) it was mid day and I arrived direct on the Inverness ring ! No choice I had to go!

( it was in 2007 my son was 18 just before he went to university. The pictures are taken from a little book my daughter had ordered for us two)

On Skye island Hebrides. We had a wonderful breakfast!





Now my son is approaching 40 and has two boys!
We had a lovely time together!


The round abouts  are very easy but the crossings are very difficult at the beginning and in the evening when you are tired. It was difficult for my brain used to drive on the right!

At the beginning I was driving slowly with an English car so people did not understand why and were not very friendly ( only the first kms) then when we arrived at our first B&B with my son I asked the landlady a piece of paper and a pen. I made myself a placard to put on the back window of the car with:”Beware French driver!”and after that I had no problems only smiles! 😂 then the following days I drove 2000 kms at the Scottish speed on the narrow lanes!

News from our daughter: she says she is improving so it’s reassuring!

Finally yesterday I did not read but knitted. During Autumn and winter I like to knit and do some crochet 🧶 I make scarves, blankets and give them associations. So I am starting by a new scarf for myself and then continuing for others.

This is all for today. Thank you for visiting!

  1. I understand that it was not easy to drive an English car but the problem had to be solved. It would have been nice to get smiles and help on the road.
    I am sorry Bandit, I hope that the vet will tell you what to do with him.
    Knit and crochet on autumn and winter days, these are really good activities in these seasons.

  2. Slim gedaan die markeringen op de ramen,de mussen kunnen zonder helm vliegen 😉.In mijn stadstuintje komen ook hele zwermen mussen meerdere keren per dag eten en drinken,bij onraad vliegen ze massaal de Hedera heggen in.Hoop dat jullie trouwe viervoeter snel weer fit mag zijn.Jij bracht mij op een idee en kocht voor mijn achterkleinkind van bijna 9 maanden en achterkleinkind op komst ook van die leuke pyjama’s van Nijntje bij de HEMA🥰voor winterse dagen.
    Problemen met rechts of links rijden zal ik nooit hebben want heb namelijk geen rijbewijs☺️
    Lieve groet!

  3. I like your paper mobile!
    I so enjoyed the photos of your trip with your son, fun to see both of you.
    I can imagine how hard it was driving on the other side of the road, great idea to put a sign in the car. :)
    Glad your daughter is doing better!

  4. Great idea about the birds. Hope your pup is okay. And traveling with kids anywhere is hard if you ask me. Glad your daughter is feeling better. Funny about your trip.
