Welcome...

A Big Welcome to two more followers they are:-

Lisa who's blog is called Lisa Johnson-Richards. Lisa also has a web site of the same name. Lisa is a Miniature Doll Artist and Couturiere. Her Dolls are exquisite.
Linda who's blog is called Linda's Minis. Lots of lovely mini's on here.
Please go over and say Hello...

On the home front we've had Mick's parents here for a few days and they went home yesterday. I also started my Cardiac Physiotherapy Rehabilitation yesterday, which was OK. Felt quite tired out last night though.
Today I'm off to Swansea, to see the Consultant that operated on me and hopefully he will say all is well and have a check up. Then back to Physio tomorrow, will be going twice a week until February.
On the Mini Front, I'm doing the Christmas Mini Swap, which was arranged by dear Rosanna over on La Stanza Di Giuggiola. Begona is making for me and I'm making for Reisl. The rules are:-

The only limit is that it must be an object related to Christmas and it must NOT be red or green; think to a pink, purple, yellow, blue, silver, gold, black, white Christmas.... think in colours !!

The gift will have to be wrapped in an unusual container.
I have loads of ideas for this one and rung Nikki last night to have a chat about it. Just need to find an unusual container now...
Also there are a couple of people out there in the Mini world who are not well at the moment and are both in hospital. I just wanted to say a BIG GET WELL to Linda and another person who doesn't want to be named at the moment, from everyone here in the blogosphere. I hope your both be back with us really, really soon. xx

Some more pictures and video from the Halloween Fun Day at the riding school yesterday.

Happy Halloween...

Just a few pictures from the Halloween Fun Day up at the Riding School today.
I have some more photo's which I'll put on tomorrow.
We stayed for about three hours, we took a wheelchair with us, so that I was able to sit down and watch the displays. I was really tired by the time we left, but it was great to get out and see everyone. Hopefully next year, I can join in the fun...

Pumpkin Carving..

The Riding School have there Halloween Day tomorrow and they are having a Pumpkin carving competition.
Ben got my scalpel's out tonight as he wants to enter the competition tomorrow. He decided on Jack The Pumpkin King. I think he did a pretty good job.
Hopefully, we are going for a little while tomorrow, as I want to watch Harry's Riding Display. I'm taking the camera so will have some pictures to share with you..

Rosanna's Christmas Swap...

Dear Rosanna over at La Stanza Di Giuggiola, is organizing a Christmas Swap.
I've already signed up and so have a few others..
Rosanna said :-

A circle swap would be easier and each one of us would only do one piece.

I think it should be Christmas related and mailed at the beginning of December to let the Mail Service to do its job.

If you agree you should send me a comment here, you have time till 5th November.

I shall randomly form the chain of names and I'll let you know.

You will have 1 month time before mailing the gift to its recipient.

I hope we shall be numerous .....

Have fun.
So if your interested please go over to Rosanna's blog and sign up, it should be fun...

Tempus Fugit...

As they say Tempus Fugit.. (Time Flies)..

Thank you for all the Birthday Wishes for Harry. Mick took this photograph of his cake. Harry had a lovely day at the riding school and then his best friend Conner came over late afternoon for tea and they spent the evening on the X-Box Live and watching DVD's..

Harry's Riding School are having another open day this Saturday for Halloween. I'm gutted that I couldn't help out this time. I'd have loved to have dressed up as a Witch.. Oh well, hopefully I will be able to participate next year.



My Super Douper Antibiotic's, seem to have cleared up the infection in my leg. But I've still got swelling on the bottom of the leg, ankle and foot. The boys have been saying that I have a Cankle. Don't you just love em...Horror Pots..

Yesterday, I had an appointment at the Doctor's for blood tests. Now I have to say at this point, I have a total aversion to Hypodermics, especially when they are coming in my direction. By the time I got into the Nurse's office, I'd already broken out in a cold sweat and my hands were disgustingly clammy. The Nurse was brilliant and managed to get my blood at the first attempt, although I cut of the blood supply in Mick's hand as I was squeezing it so much.. When I finally looked there was 4 vials of blood ready to be sent off for testing. Well done that Nurse.
Tomorrow, I have an appointment at the Hospital with the Cardiac Rehabilitation Nurse and the Physiotherapist. I've been told to expect the appointment to last over an hour, as they will see what my heart and I are capable of...

Which brings me to the Garage, the Caravan and the Barn.
After having the scare that we did. I spoke to Mick about having a major sort out of my miniatures. It worried me to think, that if anything had happened to me, Mick and the boys would have been left to sort this lot out. So as soon as I am able, I am making it a priority. Its a massive job, but I've got to get it done. As you can see every nook and cranny is filled. The miniatures that I have made and collected, which I no longer need or love will be sold. Shame there are no miniature fairs in Wales. I will then be able to concentrate on the new ideas, that are in my notebooks.
