Liebster Blog Award....part 3

And finally...my list of 11 questions for those taking the baton from me on the Liebster Award, which was passed to me by Christine at A Colourful Life

I have two nominees who have agreed/volunteered to take part

Libby at D-Scribes and Caroline at Mrs M's Meanderings

I feel bad nominating people so please don't feel obliged, I know it's time consuming but it is quite fun too. Would CJ at Above the River, Penny at The Hen House, and Tammy at My Journey like to join in?

And please volunteer if you'd like to take part and have the award on your blog, you should have less than 200 followers but I can't see the number on everyone's blog so hopefully I've nominated blogs which fall into this category.

I hope my questions are ok, please miss any out you'd prefer not to answer!

1) What would you do on your ideal day? 

2) What did you want to be "when you grew up"? And did you achieve it?

3 Tattoos and/or piercings; do you have any, do you love/hate them?

4) Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

5) What are you reading right now?

6) Serious theatre or musicals; or do you not visit the theatre?

7) Do you have a secret crush? (famous person or otherwise!)

8) Who knows about your blog, or is it secret?

9) Would your ideal holiday (if funds were unlimited) involve seeing more of your own country or worldwide travel?

10) If you could rescue one item from your house in the event of a disaster what would it be? (family and pets aside)

11) If you were invited to a fancy dress party would you get excited, have a head brimming with ideas and immediately throw yourself into creating a fabulous outfit or do you struggle and wish it wasn't fancy dress?

Well there are my 11 random questions off the top of my head this morning! I was going to think on this for a while but time is getting on and I've been such a slow coach completing this challenge.

The weeks of Summer are moving on very quickly and I feel we haven't really done much.

So here are a few photos of our Summer up to now, photos and few words!

The last day of Primary School, I do have some lovely photos from school and the after party but mostly they also involve other children so I thought  it was best not to post them here.


Apricot harvest

Home grown carrot man!

 Tomatoes doing well despite the slap dash gardener!

An unexpectedly pretty corner of the garden, borrowing the neighbours roses!

veggie patch no longer looking it's best

 Cooking apples nearly ready for a pie, but plums not so good; a bit spotty and some are rotting before ripe

We'll have plenty of pears again though

Bubbles and Poppet have enjoyed being outside this Summer,
not so much in the tail end of the hurricane though!

And our first ever "selfie" taken at my friends 50th birthday party; a stunning out in the woods,
 riverside party. The theme was Midsummer Night Dream

If you look closely you'll see that the bunting in knicker shaped!

I hope I looked a little like Titania (although I know I didn't, I'm not good at dressing up) . We didn't stay late into the evening as The Builder was doing a good impression of Bottom;
oh no that's not the word, I mean an ar*e!!

So that's a little round-up; long overdue - but you know how it is, busy, busy, busy.

We'll have a busy few days ahead as it's results day on Thursday for Number 1 son,
who is not at all confident that it'll go well.
And we have 3 cricket matches before we even reach the weekend, which will be a weekend full of cricket!
