Postcard Update: We have room for one more in the Pile Of Postcards Exchange as I have now gathered 47 names. One more would bring us to a round 48 which would be 8 groups of 6. If you fancy it, please drop me an email before the end of Monday. And thank you for the amazing response! I'll be sending out the addresses very soon.
eta: we have one more participant to we're almost ready to post!Soo..Me On Monday? I'm back - gingerly (ha!) - on two feet and it feels fantastic
So it was a less hopping, more stripey tshirt shopping, Granny visiting, greenhouse tidying, garden admiring, nostalgia indulging kind of weekend.
We went to see Granny and that always means spotting little glimpses of childhood: a box of toys peeping out from under the bed, the bookshelves Grandpa made, now we'd call them "mid century modern", stuffed with books from long long ago, bits of the garden reclaimed after years covered in trees, and my Dad's greenhouse, still standing even after all this time. It's good to take a quick picture or two..
How was your weekend? Last week several of you gave me a wave on Monday and it was lovely! It's always good to catch up....
Bet it feels lovely being back able to run around again :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love those peeks back into our past, something comforting about them. x
Hello Sian, so lovely to see you 'hopping' I miss having grans or even mums to go to for a look into the past. This is such a lovely meme you've got going. I'm not up to taking it on at the moment although I would like to.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! So pleased to hear you are healing well.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to go back and rediscover parts of your growing up. I bet there are a few Bunty annuals lurking on those shelves somewhere!
Glad to see you upright again!!
ReplyDeleteSO HAPPY to see you're feeling better, If you are still missing a participant for the postcard exchange, I'd love to join in!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got your 49...I was going to offer, but next time! Glad to see you hopping about again:):) Take it easy! We've just arrived back from 2 weeks away so it was an unpacking, opening all that mail, washing, grocery gathering weekend!!!! Yours sounds MUCH better!!!
ReplyDeleteHelen, would you email me please so that I can add you to the list/ sorry, I have no way of contacting you at the minute so I hope you see this
ReplyDeleteI'm waving hello!! Glad you are back on both feet :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are back up on your feet---ready to enjoy this gorgeous weather. I'm looking forward to the postcard exchange.

ReplyDeleteHooray for being upright and on two feet! I love those glimpses of another life and particularly love the books and Action Man!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back on your feet.
ReplyDeleteJust love those peeks into your past. I was sorely tempted to join the postcard swap but have been banned from any more swaps till I get my arse organised (By you know who - and seeing as he posts all my stuff without charging me - I can't really argue. And organisation WAS meant to be my word for the year. Ahem.) I shall have fun seeing what you all get up too :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling well and looking fabulous! Isn't it funny how mid-century modern is all the rage now? I wish I had hung on to some of the things I grew up with. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVELY TO SEE YOU ON TWO FEET AGAIN....SOUNDS LIKE A NOSTALGIC BUT HAPPY WEEKEND!

Glad to see you back on your feet! What's the temp there that you are in jeans & sleeves? It's 86F here! I'd be melting! :)

ReplyDeleteHurrah for uprightness :-) Sounds like a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to see you back on your feet again! Looks like you had a nice weekend - I have joined in again this week - just! Nearly forgot and then saw your post!
ReplyDeleteLove the turquoise converse shoes but hate the creepy action man photo.
ReplyDeleteOh no does that mean I've missed joining in the postcard swap?
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you on your feet again and with that big smile!
ReplyDeletegreat to see you back on your feet - and loving those shoes
ReplyDeleteHooray, now you can do summer as it is meant to be, outdoors, exploring! Love the GI Joe and the peek at old books. Sounds like the postcard swap is a hugely popular, have fun with it :)
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!! I am so happy to see you on both feet and wearing stripes :D
ReplyDeleteIsn't being back on the feet marvelous?! I broke my foot two summers ago (fell off my bike! ack!) and the recovery was a bummer! Glad to see you're sans casts/boots/crutches! Take 'er slow.
ReplyDeleteYou look great Sian!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you are back on two feet.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are mobile again Sian, great post and I love the books - very nostalgic
ReplyDeleteSo great to see you on two feet again! Glad that you healed up before your vacation. Those books brought back memories. I wish I'd taken some pics at my Dad's place before we moved him into his retirement residence.
