It Ain`t Over `Til The Fat Lady Warbles.......

.....and she`s just warming up her tonsils!
Progress has been slow since my house was turned inside out,upside down and I`m a long way from finished but at least I can see the light (I swear at one point, I could almost see a Heavenly Light calling me upwards!) so all the little annoying jobs that can be done when the weather inevitably turns to Autumn have been sidelined until then and I`m off to enjoy what`s left of the Summer and a little playtime....here....

...here.
During the upheaval and when it finally all got too overwhelming...and because I was on holiday from work at the same time, I took me a little road trip to England.....well, ok, I only got as far as Berwick-upon-Tweed because my time was limited but it might have been London,Paris or Rome ....I had a lovely day out, just like Joan without a Derby!or Thelma without a Louise! Sooooo.....

......up,up and away...

...or rather I was driving...but isn`t that a nice bit of coast road?!....

...stop and say 'good morning' to some nice sheep...

....looking back to the county where I live ....nice, innit? (though I won`t tell you that the large white building in the background is our very own local nuclear power station!)......

....stopped off at St. Abb`s Head in search of coffee but I was a bit too early for everyone!The one and only coffee shop was closed!.....

....no that`s not it....that`s a quaint little hut for a fisherman!...

......complete with quaint little reel!

.....quaint little houses....the lady from one of them was out pruning her climbing roses and I thought to myself how nice it would be to be able to get up in the morning and the first thing on your mind would be 'Oh, I think I`ll go and prune my St. Swithins`! I wish!!

......and I`d always been meaning to visit this lovely wool shop and finally, when I got there, guess what? Yes, that`s right... it was also closed!...

but I was able to have a little peak in the window....

......then finally managed to track down a lovely frothy coffee at the gallery next door ......

.....and sat outside to savour both coffee and view.....

......just kidding, it was much prettier than that!.......

Short trip on to Berwick-upon-Tweed, a rake around the charity shops but bearing in mind that for weeks I`ve been getting rid of my own junk, I was very selective and left other peoples` treasures on the shelves! Phew, the sacrifices we make! After lunch, it was time to hit the road, this time homeward bound.....

....that`s not my feet on the dashboard, it`s one of those car freshener thingies!

I won`t trouble you with any pics of the state of my house on my return.....you`d only have a touch of the vapours and I`ve used up all my smelling salts!

Thanks for popping-in and hope you`re all having a great weekend and did you know that tonight at 7.00pm was supposed to be the happiest time of the year? Well, I waited but......?lol

Bye for now xxx

ps The pic of the Lovely Lady atop is not me - just sayin`!
