Hi all
Well here I am at an odd time of day, aren't I! I've been busy this morning making a card that I'm actually going to send!! Then this afternoon it's the school trip, baking and then dinner - so I thought I'd take 1/2 hr to sit at the old lappy!
It's very strange at my house at the mo, we've got the road outside the house closed for miles (and I mean miles!) so no traffic. Not that we get heavy traffic anyway, well certainly not the level of traffic I was used to when I lived in Essex, but it's dead out there now! And I have to shout at a workman to get him to move the cones to let me out the road. Think he's getting used to the school times - and it's almost like having a butler - imagine me waving my hand and saying (in the very grand manner) 'open the gates please, Jeeves'.
Now the truth is - me shouting out the window, at some poor bloke (who probably thinks I'm mad as a hatter) 'oi, let us out then, mate'!!! Refined or what?!
So what have I got to share today then - a card, never, really?! The surprise is, wait for it!!!, I actually quite like it!! I'm not sure about the sentiment, as I wonder if it's meant to be a new baby card, but I don't do many of those (don't know any expecting ladies), so I thought this would be more universal - maybe even a Mother's Day card?
Here we go then:
