Sad News............


This picture was taken only last week of Muppet and Noodle on their bed, sadly our young man was a bit of a wanderer and he was knocked over on Friday and didn't survive. He was found by a kind member of the public who took Muppet to the vets where his microchip was scanned and they rang to give us the news. He kinda knew how to live life on the edge, if ever there was a scrape to get into he found it and after suffering a fit last year his vision was impaired but that didn't stop him, he was an explorer and a wanderer and had a full, yet very short life. He was so loved and adored by us and his sister and we will always miss him, such a little character!

Noodle is very fussy and doesn't go far from me atall, we had a lovely time in the garden yesterday digging a new bed and lifting Molly back over the fence after she learnt how to hurdle the fence into next doors garden and then pretending she couldn't get back lolololol

Abica beauty is well and truly up and running, I've already taken and despatched internet orders the Dancers Balm is now for sale at a local dancewear shop, and existing clients are purchasing my products, so everything seems to be pottering on quite nicely with our New Beginnings.

Well I did warn you I might be posting some piccies :-) This is the lovely Molly, being particularly possessive about her stick lolol, what the pic doesnt' show is that it was atleast 1.5m long and everytime you got close she picked it up and tried to run away while tripping up over the stick and getting it caught int he bushes.......................but in no circumstances ever ever ever was she gonna let go of 'her' stick :-)

Sun, Sun and more Sun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Molly is such a happy bunny shes pootling in and out of the garden claiming as many sticks as she can find for her own and rediscovering lots of toys she has left outside during the course of the winter :-) and I've been hit with the spring cleaning bug!!!!!! Been mucking out Abbies bedroom, think we might be getting there (shocked smilies)!!! Shes gonna get a shock when she comes home from dancing we are gonna sort out her clothes, she keeps everything for years and years and years, well, not anymore lololololol

I was gonna start sowing seeds but am putting it off til next month, they'll catch up anyway I reckon, I've kinda lost my sowing motivation!!!!! (lots of shocked smilies) Decided to cover over maybe half the plot coz its all a bit daunting this year with having such a big overgrown garden to sort out n'all, and if I don't get decisive and make a decision I'll end up just doing bits here and bits there and not really achieving much atall.

Business wise I've got balms and butters ready to despatch and will, by the end of next week, have everything ready to go, how exciting is that!

Jess has decided to take part in the exchange trip to China later this year, it was touch and go for a while whether she would go or not, but in the end she took the bull by the horns and took her deposit to school. I'm so chuffed for her, she is quite shy but is beginning to blossom and I think this trip will do her the world of good :-) Spoken like a very grown up adult (even more shocked smilie faces).

I've got a camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! another dead exciting piece of news so I'm busy clicking away so watch out I may get a little over enthusiastic and be posting lots of pics. Toodlepip for now....................the spring cleaning is calling....................:-) I don't often get the cleaning bug so I'd best relent and get on with it before I get bored :-)
