Saturday Steps Just Me and Mom

"Heck mom these are some broken old steps and why have steps like these and trees at the top?"

"There once was a very large house at the top of those steps, come on and I will show you"

"George your facing the wrong way"

"I was moving so you can show folks!!! and tell me about it"

"See that information board, well this is whats on it"  

"Its where Apley house once stood, it was the ancestral home of the Chartlon family, descendents of the king and princes of Powys"

"Where's Powys?"

"its one of the countys in Wales"

"Its sad that its gone forever, nice view from the top of the steps, can we go back down, I'd like to see what them rock things are, and whats though that gap in the trees? "

"What do you think mom, they look like seats!"

"I think you might be right George, I think we'll look though the gap later"

"Which way Mom"

"You pick George you always do!!" 

"See, if you had picked the way we wouldn't have seen this"

"Someone's clever with a chain saw"

"George don't drink it if its real dirty"

"Mom do you fancy crispy duck for tea"

"George don't get saying that folks might hear you, leave them alone"

"Heck that give me the creeps, what is it?"

"I don't know what its ment to be, but it reminds of a film called Dune, there was big worms that moved under the sand, yuk"

 "GEORGE come on, times running out, and you wanted to see what was though that gap"

"A field"

"There a pond behind those trees"

"but I don't do water, you know that"

"Don't be silly, you don't have to go in I thought you'd like to take a look"

"OK race you"

"come on mom keep jogging you'll lose more weight"

"OK George you win, what do you think"

"a ponds a pond to me"

"Hey there goes some crispy duck"

"Mom look up"

"I wonder where those planes are going to"

"Well I know where I'm going to, home for breakfast, you know I don't do morning and what time is it now?"

"Look don't start, just cus we had to give dad a lift into work for 6 in the morning"

"come on lets get you home"

"Love you Mom"

I'm off to the park in a mo,

 but first I have to tell you who are the two winners of Boomer's book

Mom's Email is on my side bar so please send me your addys, and the books will be winging their way to you.  

I'm booked into the groomers on the 13th July, I can't wait,

 moms cut my eyebrows so at least I can see, sorry I got side tracked, but I feel I am disappearing under all this fur!!! 

OK there is a big event going on in blogland
So come on lets go.

To get there we have to walk over a footbridge that goes over the railway line

Just look at this, I don't mean the rusty paint!!

You can see right down to the railway track!!!

The lady at the train station has just said there will be a train passing though in the next 5 minutes, I thought you might like to see it, but while we are waiting, I can show you a photo of the back of my home.

 Its the one on the far left, and the small roof next to it is our garage

Here it comes

There it goes, you can see the other foot bridge that's where the Steps photo was taken, both bridges could do with a paint.

Come on time to get moving, I don't want to miss anything.

Here we are

Picnic In The Bark

Just time to show you around, as you can see this is

The Band Stand, yes Dad has played here 

There a link to a youtube video back at Folkengates 2008!!!

Look my tongue is the same colour as the paint work on the band stand! this could also do with a paint!

This is where the tiny peeps play,

they lock them in so they won't run off lol!!

Here we have an
 Elderflower Bush,
 right at the last minute mom made some
 Elderflower Cordial, for me to bring to the picnic

This is what you will need if you fancy having ago

20 elderflower heads (remove as much as you can of the storks)

1 sliced lemon

2 tsp of citric acid

1.5kg(3.5lbs) of sugar

1.2 ltr(2.5 pints) boiling water 

Boil a kettle for the water

Fill a bowl or small bucket with all the other ingredients

Pour the boiling water in at the side so it doesn't touch the flowers straight away, stir until the sugar has dissolved.
