Life with ally

Our Garden looked like a Winter Wonderland just over a week ago ~ yet yesterday I sat out there and it was Sunny and warm ~ 

Henry as we have named our Pheasant spends a great deal of time at the bird feeder ~ well after all he is a bird so I suppose he has every right ~

Barney spotted him the other day and made chase but Henry managed to clear the fence before Barney could grab him ~

Last Saturday we went to the Spring Bazaar at the school room in the village ~ Lyn and I always enjoy these events ~ they have a cake stall and sell lots of odds and ends and Books of all sorts ~ and have raffles

Lyn bought lots of books about 20 in all ~ I bought a pretty little cup and saucer for Abbie and some little bits and pieces for the children ~ we also bought some raffle tickets but did not think we had won anything ~ until today ~

We were just leaving the house to go to Aylsham when this lady approached our back door ~ she didn't notice us in the car but I called out to her and she turned round and brought over these raffle prizes we had won ~ me a bottle of red wine from Australia and Lyn a Boots gift pack of all lavender products which was a nice surprise ~

The School room is so tiny ~ I always imagine what it must have been like to attend School there way back when ~ this is such a tiny village but I am sure those children must have had a wonderful education in that little school house ~ and I hope lots of fun ~

  I would have loved going to the Spring Bazaar with you.  I love things like that.  I agree, Henry, is a beautiful bird.  That's funny you would pick Henry as a name, we had a neighbor's cat, a while back who took to us.  He would come visit and stay overnight with us sometimes even.  My daughter dubbed him Henry.  He was gorgeous.  Sadly, he got run over by a car.  ::sniff::  You got snow?  I am sooooo
  envious.  ;-)
  
  I enjoyed the photos, especially that last one.
  
  Blessings!~

  That pheasant is so pretty.  I'm hoping you're done with the snow by now.  We had an ice storm this afternoon.  It was just warm on Friday.  Love the last picture with the daffodils.  Ours are just blooming now.  Have a good week.  xx Chris

  I'm glad Henry was too quick for Barney! He's gorgeous. Your garden looks so pretty in the snow, our blizzard has stopped for now ~ after five hours! Well done on winning those prizes. I love the smell of lavender. Jeannette xx  http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
