Karlene & Charmane xx -------------------------------------------------------------- 2ND JUNE PHOTO This is the day the banner was finished and photographed to go up on 'Lets get Shabby' 3RD JUNE PHOTO Ivy climbs everywhere in our garden....and as pretty as it can look, it still has to be kept under control!

4TH JUNE PHOTO The last of my 'Granny Smith' apples.. they were very late finishing this year...even the leaves have got yellow and fallen off - yet the apples still hang on. I've been able to extend the season enjoying them this year because of it!! We are on the 8th day of Winter now.

5TH JUNE PHOTO The paint bought ready to re-decorate Paige's new room. She has fab taste in colour! 6TH JUNE PHOTO Give Cosmo a little bit of sun and he is happy! He had a funny little turn the night before and I sat up with him - he was okay in the morning, just slept a lot. Poor old old man. 7TH JUNE PHOTO It was so fun gathering this RAK together to put up for a prize on 'Lets Get Shabby'

8TH JUNE PHOTO Where I always feel grounded - pardon the pun!!! But getting in the garden in the soil doing the winter clean out - is good for the soul!
