RIP Margie Nesbitt

 

Whilst we were away in the Isle of Man Margie had an off day. Our neighbour was looking after the hens and on one particular day Margie hadn't wanted to leave the henhouse.
The next morning she was dead, having passed away in her sleep.
Needless to say poor Emma was beside herself but I pointed out all our hens have a good life and it was just one of those things.
Margie was buried under the cherry blossom tree on the farm belonging to Emma's partner's parents.
A fitting gesture for a happy little soul.

Simple Pleasures!

I am pleased to say I am feeling much better . I am fine when at home but once I go anywhere I find myself either shivering or feeling too hot and uncomfortable with headaches - so it is best to stay where I feel comfortable.

The weather has been absolutely dreadful and today, Saturday is no exception - rained through the night and we awoke to yet more rain only stopping now and again. Amazingly we managed a tootle over to Whitby on Thursday and I had a manic weeding session whilst the sun shone. Sufficient time for me to fill the green wheelie bin ready for collection - I found this satisfying. The garden is in need of some serious attention - Jon managed to cut the lawns and I am itching to pot on my tomato plants - which I am doing whenever the rain stops.

I have been spending time reading - Rebecca Shaw is my current favourites. I read one of hers whilst on holiday - part of a series based in a veterinary practice. I am now reading my way through a whole series based around village life - ideal for a few hours amusement!

Life is returning to normal........well normal as it can be in the Nesbitt household!

This was the view at 5am Sunday morning from our hotel window. Jon was just getting the bike ready for our journey home.

 
 

A few minutes later as we were getting sorted the sun came out and gave us a couple of lovely images to take away.

 





 

We had a good journey  after a fantastic time in the Isle of Man. arriving home around 3pm.
Needless to say I have been busy sorting through our luggage and the house has been like a commercial laundry in an effort to get everything washed and dried. Typically the sun is shining today after raining all day yesterday when I was trying to dry everything.

So life is back to normal - Jon is very busy at work and I am just looking at the garden as it has grown so much whilst we have been away. Sadly all I can do right now is look and plan as both Jon and I have come down with a terrible cold, so my energy levels are quite low and all I can do is to take the "Day Nurse" capsules every 4 hours. I must say I think they are working but a couple more days should see me feeling my old self again.

In the meantime I am enjoying reading and eating oranges!
