It's our Jeans birthday tomorrow girls, she's twenty one, you know that special age, when she recieves the key of the door. ( Thats if J allows her to have it, and doesn't lock her out for being a cheeky to him. lol)
Have a wonderful day my lovely lickle friend, be spoilt rotten by everyone, and enjoy it, you sooo deserve it.

I hope everyone is o.k, and not waterlogged with all the rain we have had over the last few days.
I will be back tomorrow to speak to you all, in the meantime, good night god bless you all. Love and hugs Mo xxx

Ok Jean, I have added 5 photos. I am gradually remembering how to do it. The blog is called Tongariro National Park. You can find it through my profile on my other blogs. I will try to add more before I go to bed, but it is a bit of a slow process.

You are a star Huia, I dont mind waiting.....lol... hope you are well and not too plagued with the furry creatures, how is phil and the rest of your family, the latest addition will be getting bigger and brighter day by day , never ceases to amaze me how the littlies learn so quickly from a very early age, we have a little girl next door and she has grown and learnt all manner of things an absolute delight to us , she adores Jeff and he adores her.... we really look forward to her visits...take care my friend
love Jean xx

Jean, it might take a while as I think it is better if I add just one photo at a time. I have been having trouble labelling them and I cant seem to edit.

OK Jean, I will start a new blog of old photos, just for you.

Mo Think I can hear you singing !!! Sorry but I'm joining in too, need to take my mind off the situation at home. So please don't call out the rescue services

Enjoy the evening tonight.. At least it's dry now

Huia, I am going to pop onto FB and take a look at you and your family photo's,during the climbing expeditions.

I was watching the young royals jigging up and down as well. But, did anyone notice how poor Kate had a runny nose, and no way of wiping it. The dear gal, didn't appear to have a tissue or hanky. It shows that she is one of us, but she was a bit more discreet than some, who would have cuffed it. lol ;-)

I wanted to see the concert outside the Palace tonight, but Roly is being stubborn and wont watch it. I might just have to take myself upstairs, and watch it on the portable instead. At least that way, I can sing along to my hearts content, and not have im indoors telling me to be quiet.
I am not very musical like our Marie, but I am good at attracting all the local cats in the vicinity, who tend to join me. lol

I hope you have all been enjoying the weekend, and that our Jean, has been a good gal for us. MWAH Jean xxx

Bye for now my friends, love Mo xxx

Huia. I dont do facebook.... so can you put the pics on your blog so we can all see it...please...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3

love Jean xxx

For those who are interested in my family's early climbing exploits, I have put an album on facebook.

Glad somebo0dy else noticed the Royals bobbing up and down Sylvia.

thank you for your condolence, only one older cousin left 'above' me now.

Yes the weather was atrocious yesterday. I felt sorry for all those poor people who had organised street parties but i suppose we should be used to it.

Please to hear that you had a good break. :-)

Hi all

Ann .... sorry to hear about your cousin. My sympathies to you, and her family.


we had a nice little break .... we drove up to Whistler on Friday afternoon. That's where the outdoor events (skiing, bobsled, etc etc) took place during the Winter Olympics 2 years ago. Actually, we didn't the mountains most of the time ........ the cloud was too low :-D

But we had a lovely time, and came back on Saturday.



There hasn't been very much organised over here for the Jubilee.

Front covers of the newspapers have got a huge picture of the Queen, and articles throughout. So have news magazines.

There are items on the news.

The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) carried the River Pageant live .............. it started about 4 am our time. One of our radio stations mentioned it, so I got up and turned on the TV at about 8:15 am.

It was fun to watch, but what rotten weather! Did enjoy watching the Royals dancing to the Sea Shanties!



Take care everyone



sylvia

Thoroughly enjoyed the River pageant this afternoon, Didn't the Queen and Prince Philip do well, all that time standing in the cold?

Thought the Alan Titchmarsh pageant this evening with all the beautiful horses was fantastic, and didn't the Queen enjoy it too. Great day with all the celebrations and being British, stiff upper lip and all that, the weather didn't spoil the fun did it? Although I was glad it wasn't me out in it. Wasn't the singing of Land of Hope and Glory great? and did you see the Royal party bobbing up and down to the Sea Shanties?? :-D

good evening everyboy im warm at last what a wet day but worth it, enjoy the rest of your weekend , im busy busy , see you tomorrow xxxx :-D

Hi there everyone,
Just back from the Jubilee Celebrations at our club. Loads of free food, a disco, the whole place bedecked with flags, and not a lot of people to enjoy it. What a shame, but I dare say people had made their own arrangements for the day.
But we enjoyed ourselves all the same.
It's been raining all day, and I do feel sorry for the families who are holding street parties.
If they have got marquees/ large tents I dare say they will still be able to enjoy themselves.
At the moment I am watching her majesty enjoying the pageant. I must say she is looking very glamorous, and never seems to age, even though we know that she is 86, her looks belie that.
We have nothing planned for tomorrow, so I hope to be able to get back and see you.
Bye for now my friends, take care. Love Mo xxx

still raining here Ann, but I have given up crafting so that I can watch the pageant , I have to admit I love the royals well some of them, Catherine looks lovely, and one thing I have noticed how much at ease she is, also all of the family seems to be happy and enjoying the day non stop chatter too....changed so much and better I think , so enjoy your day love Jean xx

Rained overnight here but has been dry all morning, hope the rain holds off for the pageant.

We went to a garden centre this morning for coffee and bought a few more plants (as you do). This afternoon I shall probably watch at least some of the pageant. :-)

Morning all, miserable wet day so far but I think it will clear up, so my little buddies what have you planned for Jubilee sunday , I shall of course be hard at work crafting , what else is there to do !!!, I feel sorry for those who have a street party planned, there is always loads in this area, but It wont stop the celebrations I am sure....to our friends over the water, do you celebrate our Jubilee ? I know a lot of ex pats are doing various things...have a good weekend whatever you get up to , bye for now cuppa calling love Jean xx

Well, well ,well girls, See I told you our Jean would tell me off, but blimey girl, did you have to tell them about my liberty bodice, and Union Jack knicker bockers. ;-)
And Jean, sorry that you lost your 20p bet, if you had just put a place bet on me, you would have done o.k, I won my singles, and my partner and I won our pairs, and our threes won as well, it was the others that lost. ( Ahem move the door posts so I can get my head through will you lol )
Over all we lost 6-5 so thats not to bad, coz every point counts.

Ah ha, so it's you who are taking over from Clin*on Ca*ds is it Jean, no wonder they closed shops down, they had heard of your expert skill at card making, and couldn't compete.
Have they closed them in your area, Clin*on Car*s I mean? Two different card shop have closed here recently, here one day, and gone the next.

Ann, sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. But 82 was a decent age considering she had the heart failure.
May she rest in peace, and the good lord bless her and keep her safe within his arms.
I am lucky that I still have one aunt alive, even though I have not seen her in years, and have several cousins left.
Three I will never get to meet, as they live in Australia, and I didn't even know of their existance till the last few years.
Such a shame that my Dad didn't keep in contact with his three sisters, or we may have had more contact earlier on in life.

Enough of my waffling.

How is everyone today.....are we all excited about the celebrations that start tomorrow.
In my case, it will make no difference whatsoever, no street parties to attend, no BBQ's to go to,the Queen of our house will not be celebrating, I shall just keep my eyes on whats occuring on the goggle box. lol

See you all later girlies. Love and hugs Mo xxx
