Wordless Wednesday- The girls goofing around

Wordless Wednesday

So much to say...

So firstly i'll apologise for not posting in such a long time. I have thought about posting several times but never seem to have had the time or the enthusiasm to post. But a certain someone (you know who you are) has requested that i post so i will.

Its been a busy month and a half in our house. I had another interview in November and was offered the post, so am just waiting for my criminal record check to come back. Jilly and I graduated on the 13th to which Jilly's parents and grandparents attended and my dad came down from Scotland. It was the first time the parents had met some it was a bit intense but all went well and we had a nice meal afterwards.

On the allotment front, we havent done very much, but we have still got some sprouts growing that i will cook Nigella Lawson stylie for christmas dinner. We lost another of our ex battery's to the great coop in the sky. We saw it coming cos she was so weak, but it was still upsetting...the inevitable problem with having animals i guess. So to make up the numbers, particularly as we had just bought a nice new coop for the ladies for winter, we went and bought a couple of hens at point of lay from the local farm. They are quite timid but it is wonderful to have chickens that lay again.


Dorkus & Queenie

We have been getting small pale eggs (as they lay small ones at first) so we assumed both of them were laying, however i have just found a dark brown one so i dont know if one has just started. Not sure of their breed as apparantely local school kids hatched them and then sent them to the farm. If anyone wants to hazard a guess, go ahead!



Anyway am preparing for christmas now and have actually bought quite a lot of presents so i'm happy about that. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the festive season.

Anniversary Weekend

Well we started the weekend by going to an Indigo Girls gig. It was the first time we'd seen them and they were fantastic. We then went up to Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire and a little 1 bed cottage that Jilly had booked for our anniversary. It was lovely and cosy with a log burning fire and a beautiful kitchen. On saturday we took the dogs on the beach and they loved it, playing with every dog in sight. We enjoyed the walk and the fresh sea air. Saturday night we went and had a candlelit dinner at a little restaurant in the village and had lots of yummy seafood. We then snuggled in the cottage in the evening.



On sunday Jilly's parents brought the kids up and we had fish and chips before spending ages on the beach with the dogs and flying a kite. It was really fun. We set off to come home as it was getting dark and i really didnt want to come home. It was such a perfect weekend and i didnt want it to end.



Thank you for arranging it Jilly and happy 2nd anniversary. I'll love and adore you forever xxxx

Autumnal weekend

Jilly, the kids and I spent the weekend together. Yesterday we went to the cinema to see Up! in 3D. I've never seen something in 3D so that was pretty cool, unlike us in our glasses! It made me and Jilly cry in parts but we really enjoyed it. Then last night we had a night in and watched X Factor. This morning we had our usual lazy sunday in bed reading the paper and listening to Sunday love songs. Then we went to Chatsworth and had a nice picnic and walked the dogs. It was a beautiful autumn day. We came back and i cooked a sunday dinner which was very yummy (if i do say so myself). Hope everyone else had a good weekend x

Being a lesbian daughter

So I could do with some advice from people who know what they're talking about. Basically my mum refuses to accept who i am and who i love. Jilly and I have been together for two years and up until then i had not spoken to my mum about my sexuality. I told my parents that Jilly was my girlfriend a few months after we got together and my dad was very gracious and gave me a hug and said its my life. Whereas my mother said (and i quote) "I cant pretend i'm happy about it cos i not". Now ok, she was probably shocked etc, but she's had nearly two years to get used to it.
She still acts as though Jilly doesnt exist and when i spoke to her the other night and told her that my job had fallen through, she told me i have to go where the jobs are and i should think about moving...convenient as she thinks this would take me away from Jilly. However, both Jilly and i agree that we would rather work in a supermarket and be together than work in hospitals and be apart.
My mother seems to want me to be apart from Jilly, even if that would make me miserable. Not surprisingly, Jilly has never met my mum, basically because she thinks my mum hates her and i cant say for certain that my mum would be nice to her if she met her. So i hardly speak to her these days. My relationship with my dad is the same as it always has been. He is so laid back really, he loves me for me, and i love talking to him. I dont see much of them cos they live in scotland about 7 hours away.
I dont want to end up having no relationship with my parents cos they're family, but there's only so much i can do. The rest is up to her!
Any words of wisdom?

Edited to apologise for the long, propbably boring post!

New arrivals

We came home on saturday and found our neighbours sitting outside with their 9 week old kittens in a play pen. She was waiting for someone to come and look at them, so we ended up playin with them for a while.

Jilly has always wanted a cat, as she hasnt had one for ages, so she convinced me to take one of them, but we couldn't pick which one, so we now have two little kittens. They are adorable and have such funny characters, however Skye is not particularly enamoured by them. As far as she's concerned, we've brought two evil kittens that spit at her, into her house!

Here they are. The one on the left is Ginny and the darker one is Tonks
