Quotes ...the first thing that comes to mind is " Always look on the bright side of life", from the film The life of Brian. This blog prompt makes me want to use more quotations in my scrapbooking.

Hoveton Hall 2011 - The East Norfolk Militia


You can tell I don't know what I'm doing !  I was on our web site & a button said send to ... so to see what happened I just had to do it and hey presto it's on here now !!!!!!!!!!!!! I suppose it's the only way to learn, by making mistakes. I must learn not to press anything until I know what it does.

Hello again, and todays blog is about the book I am reading at the moment. This is wierd because until the weekend, I hadn't read a book since Christmas { too busy}! Then I bought this book from a charity shop. It's the Emperor's Lady', by F.W.Kenyon ..first printed in 1952.

Yes, That is me !!1

I have always liked British history { the social side }, and especially the Regency era. Now some of you may know Martin & I are in a small re~ enactment group , the East Norfolk Militia. We have immense fun doing this and have made many friends. This book has made me want to do a project , but have no time at present. I would like to do a very feminine criss cross card, but that will be later. I have however some pics to include today, and a card inspired by our group ..someone wants 2 similar ones made.

Hi, The post today is about which book I am reading at the moment, which is strange as I have'nt read a book for ages.....until the weekend when I saw this book in a charity shop ! Its 'The Emperor's Lady' by F.W Kenyon. As you may know, Martin & I are part of a re~enactment group the East Norfolk Militia, and I love the social history of the Regency era. This book has made me want to make something very feminine & lacy, so my project when I come back from holiday is to be a criss cross card.{ they seem to be popular at the moment}.

Martin.

Yes, this is me !

  I have included pics of us playing parts ! and also a card which was inspired by the group.

Card made for a member.

My Nan & Dad

When I was small, all I can remember is that other children {who's parents had a car} used to go off to the beach a lot. My Mum used to take my small sister Carol & me by bus on the August one. She used to take our lunch, & a plastic bag with a flannel in it . We had bucket and spade. At the bus station we always used to worry if the bus was going to be full as not many people had cars then, but if a bus was full, they used to roll another one out of the garage.The weather always seemed to be nice, & the Gt. Yarmouth beach glorious. The small childrens funfair was a treat for us, and the snail ride was the favourite. Mum had a tea in the cafe near the beach. My dad must have been working as he was never there { poor man}. No pics of those Bank holidays as dad was the photographer, but have included a few memories anyhow

Haven't felt much like doing this for a while, since someone stole my camera to be precise. It seems to have knocked me more than I thought. Still here goes...My favourite photo { out of many }..

 Martin, light of my life...

I really hope to get better at this, & to make my blog worth looking at!

Hope you're all keeping well & speak to you soon.
