A farmers toast!

Let the wealthy and great, Roll in splendour and state, I envy them not i declare it, I eat my own lamb, My chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and i wear it, I have lawns,I have bowers, I have fruits,I have flowers, The lark is my morning alarmer, So joyful boy's now, Here's god speed the plough, Long life and success to the farmer!!

A very boring photo! but the only one with my head on !! Taken in the Treehouse in Alnwick garden, lovely food!!!....... and rope bridges!!! not keen make me feel sick! ! and when you eventually get to the loo you need a sit down..............................The perfect setting for a coo party..xxx .....................Though the open fire in a treehouse did feel a bit dodgy....................

I did Blog earlier and lost it! about my meetings .......

Colin found withy brook first i'd been waiting in the wrong place!................... And "whatever she's on i want some" Knock 25yrs of her age the energy of a 20yr old! a delightful twinkle in her eyes! and a wicked sense of humour... Unfortunatly we didn't get much time together but next time .................xxx

@themill Looked so familiar,i still can't place who she reminds me of someone i like obviously, because i felt instantly at ease and chatted like we'd known each other for ages.. Colon who thinks we are barmy Really enjoyed the tour of the outbuildings and i did they are huge, she has great plans which i'm sure she'll succeed in..And a lovely huge home a strange idea of decorating though square patches of paint every where Lol...xxxx

Muddyboots again very familiar, was busy working when we arrived they have a lovely cafe and the ice cream is sooooo smooooth we had a guided tour met the dogs ..shes busy decorating to and her new kitchen is gorgeous i loved the handles! and fondled them and her bargain curtains and tassles!...Shes just awaiting Une peus tiles to complete ...We met hubby and he was really nice ...... Again just as we get comfy it's time to go!!.................................................................................... Girls we need a weekend break and that still wouldnt be enough xxx

  13. Oh isn't that tree-house wonderful?! I adored it but James was curiously underwhelmed.
    Lucky you meeting yet more purplecooers - @themill is fab I know but would (poor dear, squares of paint on the walls - and did you see the hay bale as a seat?!) ;)
    I'd love to meet Withy and Muddyboots (and taste the ice cream natch).
