Little John's Grave (with Ghostly figure)

So mum was cleaning out her photo box last night, and she found this photo she took a long time before digital, this is scanned in so it is not a perfect copy of the photo. HERE IS THE STORY BEHIND IT...
My sister-in-law and brother were ge...tting married at the Church of Hathersage on 31/05/1997, this is where Little John's Grave is said to be. (you know... Little John from Robin Hood...) So anyway my parents and I were walking around taking photos the day before their wedding. We found little John's Grave and I took about 3 or 4 pictures of it. Although not visible to me when taking the photos, when I got my photos back 2 weeks later (before the digital age...35mm) one of the photos I took of Little Johns grave has a large 'ghostly' shape with a smaller one next to it. I looked at the negative and sure as anything there it was on the negative. I tried to think of anything else it could be but there was no sun glare that could have caused this, no-one was smoking for smoke to have drifted across the lens, I thought maybe it was the 1st picture on the roll as sometimes the negative has a problem on first photos, but it was not, it was the second picture I took, and neither of the negative frames either side of this one seem to have a problem with them. I was baffled. I still have no explanation for this but will always hold onto this photo and it's negative. I have never had proof of any ghostly beings, however this has always made me wonder. and before anyone says I have photoshoped it, I PROMISE THERE IS NO PHOTOSHOPPING, I HAVE THE NEGATIVE but cant scan that in.See more

Homemade Sprinkler

Wow this is a really good idea, I could see this being set up around a border as a cheap sprinkler system. I will be making this for my garden one day when I can afford to buy a house...

Mum says I have a disease called Hornylitis

Apparently last week Tuesday I scared the life out of my mum, she came home and found me all listless and my wings had drooped and my tail had dropped, I was lethargic and I didn’t even have the energy to eat my lunch properly (don't get me wrong, I still ate it (I am not stupid, just lethargic), I just didn’t eat it as fast and enthusiastically as I normally would) she also noticed I had thrown up in my food bowl.

So she panicked and rushed me to the vet (£56 later) (thank goodness for pet insurance) and 3 hours spent at the vet we headed home. The Vet did a horrid crop wash on me, yuk yuk yuk, and cultures, but all seemed clear, the vet was baffled and said to mum to keep an eye on me over the next few days, if things deteriorated to bring me back for blood tests (which can be stressful so she would only do this if I did not improve)

Anyhow the next day I was a little better but not much, however by the weekend I had perked up and was trying to mate with anything in sight, when I flew to mums shoulder I had a good go at her ear... I just like to watch mum squirm and listen to her say 'eeeeeewwwwwww get off my ear'. My little fluffy toy Pony has had a right going at…… poor little thing. So mum has come to the conclusion; now that I seem all better and bouncy again, that I was suffering from what she calls HORNYLITIS, and she blames it on the weather.
Poor woman nearly had a heart attack worrying about me..

Love ya mum

ME FEELING ALL SORRY FOR MYSELF



My Painting is Done

So as most of you know mum recently finished an A4 size cross stitch of me... Well she decided that she wanted to do a 4 picture(different mediums) in a frame of the same picture, so she has just finished doing a painting of that same picture. So in the frame will be a computer print, a cross stitch, a pencil drawing and an acrylic on canvas painting, I can't wait until it is all framed and on a wall. I don't think she did a bad job seeing as she hasn't painted in 25 years

I can't stop bragging about mums Orchids

So the yellow Orchid was last mentioned when it has 11 flowers on it and mum was jumping for joy back then, she thought some may die off, but OH NO, they are going strong, she is now up to 19 beautiful yellow flowers. WOW, this was a dying plant when she got it, and the pink one was also dying, and this one has come back to life and is now sitting pretty with 10 beautiful flowers. Mum is chuffed to bits.

5 Days Off and loads done

So Mum has just had 5 days off and she worked like a Trojan,
On Saturday she had her tooth implant done (well the first half, and believe it or not no pain) Then she cleaned the house fully...
On Sunday she cleaned up the shed (where a little mouse had decided to spend winter and pooped everywhere) I have never heard mum gag like that before, but she got it all done.
On Monday (Bank Holiday)She then decided to fix up the bird feeding area and I think she did a fantastic job. Now I can sit in my aviary and watch the other birdies in the garden. GO MUM... ;)
which left her Tuesday and Wednesday (holidays she booked off work) to sit in the garden and enjoy it all.... AND GUESS WHAT IT DID?????? YES IT TURNED ALL COLD AND MISERABLE ON THOSE 2 DAYS... poor mum



Popcorn....hmmmmmm

So mum decided she wanted popcorn for her lunch, I waited patiently and when she turned her back and walked out of the kitchen for one minute, I was in there like a bat out of hell.... this is how she found me when she came back

7 was great but 11 is Better

Well mum thought she was fantastic getting the poor dying plant back to life, then when it got 5 flowers she thought she was Ms Green fingers, the when it got 7 flowers she nearly wet herself with glee, well you can only imagine her joy this morning when she woke p to find 11... yes 11 beautiful yellow flowers on her rescued Orchid

Photos of my BUTT.... Really mum???

So mum has been chasing me around with a camera, I have had enough, so I thought I would give her a picture to remember

MUM STOP IT I want to eat my food in peace....

 

OK SO YOU WANT A PHOTO??? TAKE THAT MUM!!!

 

MWAHAHAHAHAHA How was that for a good Photo ;)

 

Mum is so glad Ellen finally got the cross stitch

Mum is so glad Ellen finally got the cross stitch she made for her of Mickey. Mum is not a pro at cross stitch, in fact it is only the second one she has ever done, so she really hopes Ellen likes it. While doing the cross stitch it made mum think of some of the tales Ellen told of Mickeys little adventures and struggles  before she went to Rainbow Bridge, and she realises now just how much she understands Ellen's loss.

Mum must be bored

Mum must be bored, she is having fun on the computer doing silly things with my photos...

How many Flowers???

Well mum can't believe her eyes...this little orchid she saved from dying in the shop has now got 7... yes I will say that again 7 flowers on it, and it looks like it may pop open a few more... Beautiful

Carrot Thievery

So yesterday mum decided to make carrot and coriander soup, a nice big pot to freeze portions. I was a sneaky little sod and got away with one of mums carrot pieces, she chased me to get it lol I won though I got the carrot and it tasted gooooood...
