Where is the time going?

Well this week has flown by it's Thursday allready thats great tho as tomorrow we break up for school.

Monday I did a couple of fun races at Rainbows they loved it. Especially the dressing up race with a difference!!!!!!!! the girls had to run and get the item pass to their young leader ( Hannah is one) and then when all items were on the young leader had to crawl down to the finish line and run back HEEE HEEE.

Guess who forgot to check that the memroy card was in the fully charged camera?

Tuesday saw the school sports day in the morning and disco in the afternoon altho I did not see much of the disco as I was with my 1-1 child.

At 8.45pm Hannah & I drove up to Sheffield and stayed with Alison & Naeem (James & Susie Buxtons daughter) .

Yesterday was the best day of the week Hannah and I went to look at Sheffield university wow it was fantastic. We listened to a number of short talks then went up to the accommodation block well one of them. Oh boy I can not believe that Hannah is nearly old enough for uni.

I did not take this photo found on net. It is of the Frith building so stunning in side as well.

There are some really wonderful buildings in Sheffield and I think it is Hannah's 1st choice although we are going to look at a couple more over the holidays.

This is the Library what a contrast in buildings.

After Dinner with Alison we left for home and relying on Christopher's Tom Tom came home a totally different way to the one it had taken us going. We ended up near Manchester so could not resit calling a couple of friends namely Carolyn and Georgina & Ian all who were in and glad to see us. We had a half hour catch up with each oh and a cup of tea and came home. Two tired girls after a 25 hour road trip. It is not often I get to spend time 1-1 with any of the children now so it is a real bonus when I do especially as it allowed me a day ( half a day actually ) off work.

So far so good so I thoughtt

Well I am not sure what has happened but I have done 2 blogs saved them to tweak and now they are lost in cyber space.

Oh well life goes on.

I am on my half day today so get a bit longer to play and then do some dreaded house work.

Two weeks today and I get to go for my interview can't wait. Have to spend the holiday online swatting up.

I thought for the next few days I will introduce the Family to you I know you know them but they have changed and are doing different things now. Oh yes and had a short chat with Aunt Jean last night she hopes to move into her fab new cottage on May 29th.


This was taken before anything had happened in side or out so will update when I see it next week. When finished it will be the most darling little cottage with an enormous garden.

Any way here goes on us I am starting at the younger end

Hannah Francis Ianthe Cook

This was taken just as Hannah was leaving to go to a wedding as you can see by date 2 years ago. It is a picture I love.

This was on one of our dog walks together last Autumn.

I love to walk with the children individually it is a time to catch up with all that's going on in their lives . This obviously happens less now that they are all doing such different things.

And this is the love of her life Tom. They are coming up to their first anniversary. He fits in well with us all. And like Hannah seems to have a smile on his faced allot of the time.

This was the night it all started at The leavers prom. she looked stunning "Beauty Grandad wanted to go and make sure she was safe. Hannah managed to convince him that she would only drink lemonade and be home by 10pm Ha Ha she arrived home the next day .

I just had to include this photo where has the time gone. It's hard to believe but next year our baby is 18.

Hannah is having driving lessons at the moment and can not wait to be free to visit her friends when she wants , think it will be more when she can afford to the rate petrol is going up.

Right now she is in the middle of exams then its the start of year 13 and the search for a uni . At the moment Hannah is looking at doing a social work degree.

On a Monday Hannah helps with the Rainbow Guide group that I run the children love her.

As I am sure you know Last year Hannah had to have loads of tests for various problems but thankfully she passed them all and is now all clear just will have to have heart scans regulalrly and has to abstain from tattoos and body piercings.

Oh and just found the two lost blogs .
