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 drivers totally ignored my Stop sign.

Looks across the fields of fun↓
It rained for a bit.
I had a nice red shiny face when I got finished.
The cold blowers went on in the car.
Followed by some great singing along↓
Back home for a quick coffee and read↓
The afternoon's tree shot↓
We might be having problems with the low lying sun↓
One van driver went under my stick, and looked up to see how far my stick was from his van!
One car got impatient and wouldn't wait for someone to cross.
At least I finished in one piece.
Back home↓
Quick drink and off to the Happy Place of Work.
Someone was going to give me the bumps on Friday for my real Birthday on Saturday.
I advised it,as he might get a hernia from trying!
