Hello to all – yes I am still alive! Came back from holiday and had so many things to attend to, so did not get near my blog…I had a wedding to attend in Doncaster,  children to mind, houses to clean,  dinner with a previous  colleague, clearing the garden, BUT  I had time to page through my photo albums…and enjoy the flowers that have been...now the frost is moving in fast! So I can only remember the bright flowers via old photographs I have taken.

Many times in our lives we always look for something new and forget the good old faithful things we have. We tend to want to follow fashion in clothes and hair and often follow the ‘’trends’’.

I cringe now when I look back at my 80’s hairdo! I was one of the ‘smart cookies’ then – hair always done in the latest fashion which now, if I look back, made me look like an upside down mop with huge round glasses…..the best fashion was the natural one with the 70’s hippie years…hair flowing natural in the wind…still in use today!

My sister Clarissa Rudd from Jeffreysbay, made my grand children each a rug sack  when  they were born and those bags are still in use now,  after 13 /15 years. These ruck sacks were brought across the ocean wide and have been through many a wash cycle, but are still as lovely as they day they were made.
