Happy2026!
Let's see what fun I have had so far this year....
1: Warm Hub.
2:After I had 3 incidents during December of car drivers not stopping while I was trying to cross the children over. The road crossing service put out a few posts to alert the car drivers to stop!
It carried on into January, one car driver just drove through!
I had a further incident of road rage from a van driver who parked on the pavement on my side and blocked my view. (The traffic lights on the otherside of the road, didn't help).The Bifa men was trying to get past his van and tapped his windmirror. All hell broke lose!
"One rule for one and one for me!" He shouted at me when I told him he couldn't park. He told me to do one a few times, a man told to not to swear at a lady. (I looked around to see the lady he was talking about!) I walked away from him the end.
He still was there after an hour arguing with the bin men!
3: Made a few cards...
4: We had a train and bus journey into Birmingham and back again.We visited a lot of charity shops and got loads of card making items.
5: Snow visited for a very short time
6: A very early Valentine's and Birthday Present!
7:We ran a Slow Cooking Workshop as part of the Warm Hub.
Someone came in to cook minestrone soup in a Slow Cooker. Everyone had some of it. We held a raffle. The first prize was a new Slow Cooker, and second and third prize were Slow Cooker Recipe Books.
Some people pay a compliment as if they expected a receipt -

On the way, I was caught up with a road rage incident involving 2 vans.One went up to the roundabout and came back and showing the fingers at the van in front of me, then the van went about 10 m.p.h until it finally turned off into a side road!
One winter hat and no gloves.
Puts on my lights, and then it was time for a little rabbit.
