Moo stickers have arrived

Posted on August 7, 2007 by jenny

I finally have the chance to post some pics of my lovely moo stickers. I ordered a little book of my favourite flickr pics last month. They are lovely, as is the packaging! Too nice to use in fact.

What's your blogging type?

Nothing

Posted on July 11, 2007 by jenny

We seem to have managed to do less today than we did yesterday or the day before. Maybe this is the point of a holiday? After a late breakfast we went to Ryde and had a look round the shops before heading over to Bembridge Windmill. We climbed to the top and admired the view…

Ventnor, Isle of Wight

Posted on July 10, 2007February 5, 2024 by jenny

Ventnor, Isle of Wight, originally uploaded by Jennifer Young. Spent the day dodging the showers in Ventnor, one of my favourite places.

Posted on July 7, 2007 by jenny

We are currently on holiday on the Isle of Wight, enjoying the peace and quiet of my mum’s house whilst she is away. Tonight we visited Ryde Regatta with my sister and nieces. The fireworks were amazing even though my youngest niece thought they were going in her eyes. I fed her lots of candy…

hedgehog

We found a lovely hedgehog underneath our rotten old shed today. He was curled up into a ball around some old plastic bags. We scooped him up and deposited him in the park at Ally Pally this evening. Robin spent the day pulling down the old shed and rotten tree with the help of some…

I love libraries …

Posted on February 27, 2007 by jenny

and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I recently rejoined the Barbican library as it’s close to work and I’m fed up with buying books. Today I picked up Alan Bennett’s Four Stories. I’ve already read the last story about the woman who lived in his front garden. I wish I’d discovered him earlier.

Weds 21 Feb

Posted on February 21, 2007February 19, 2011 by jenny

Today the boiler was condemned but the fence was finally fixed. What with the brand new back door and the new garden fence the house doesn’t know what has happened to it. I wonder if it’s missing those slovenly previous tenants?
