Yesterday was lovely day for a drive and it just so happened that I had some wee jobs to do that necessitated a drive through part of beautiful Co Fermanagh. The sun was shining and there was still snow on the tops of the hills and mountains, mountain waterfalls were glistening in the distance and the lakes were like…
I read the craziest thing today – in fact I am having difficulty believing it myself. What do you think of this? From Feb 2009 it will be illegal in America to sell hand-crafted toys or clothing for children. I have to read that sentence a few times and I am still having trouble with…

Thank you for participating in Blog Gems!
Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.

As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
