I’m not usually a fan of the Royal family. Here in the UK they divide opinion and are a very controversial subject, but I have to admit watching Prince Charles doing the weather report put a smile on my face. He would have made a great weather man in another life

Prince Charles is not the only Royal who has made me smile in the last few month, Prince Harry’s interview with the BBC during the London Marathon and him racing with Usain Bolt made me warm to the younger Royal and gave me hope that maybe they are starting to adapting to modern life.

The Olympic torch has been lite in Greece and will hit the shores of the UK on the 19th May to start its 70 day journey around the UK.

It’s very exciting, we’re not lucky enough to be able to go to London to see the olympics first hand, but we will see the Olympic torch pass through our town on its way to London.

I love the design of the Olympic torch, it has 8,000 holes in it to represent the 8,000 people who will carry the torch across the country. People in the community who have done good/inspirational things have been chosen to carry the iconic flame.

OMG my mouth dropped to the floor when I saw this.

A young woman fell through a pavement in China, I thought it was going to be the usual young person text-ing not paying attention to the world around them and falls down a hole, so you can imagine my surprise when she disappear through the floor.

One minute she’s walking down a normal street with no hole, next minutes she’s swallowed up by the ground.

Thank goodness she was fine.

Woke up this fine morning, the sun was shinning outside, I walked into my kitchen and on my counter top I found a sweet note from our son.

He’d headed out for school early this morning and had left a note for us to find.

How sweet! I’ve had a smile on my face all day, we’re so lucky

Have you had a sweet surprise by someone you love, a little something they said or did that brightened your day? tell me all about by leaving a comment below.

Photography makes me happy so I thought I would share my Photographs I took at Gibraltar Point nature reserve here in the UK.

Funny story about Gibraltar Point, A few years ago a lorry driver traveled all the way from Turkey to Gibraltar Point to discover when he got here, after crossing land and sea with his cargo of 4×4 vehicles, that he was meant to go to the Rock of Gibraltar in Spain, the poor mans sat nav had taken him 1,600 miles in the wrong direction, OOPS.

Any way back to my pictures

I think I’ve labeled them right but I’m not 100% sure I’m no expert, I had to identify them from a bird book so they could be wrong

I’ve been stuck in bed for 3 weeks with pain in my knees missing out on the sunshine and fun then when I could walk it decided to be high winds and rain for 7 days none stop, which means I’ve been stuck indoors for a month!

Last night in the evening around 6 o’clock it stopped raining so we went to a nature reserve to recharge our batteries. I have to say one of the things that makes me really unhappy in life are people and having to walk around my town for a week in bad weather no less really showed me how crummy people are, so we needed to get back to nature and forget humans exist for a while and boy did mother nature deliver

Just found this article I wrote sitting in my draft folder of the day I spent with the seals at Donna Nook in November 2011. The pictures in the video are the ones I took that day.

Just days after we had been to Donna Nook a high tide swept in and the seal colony suffered with the deaths of an estimated 100 pups drowning in the high waters, these were a small loss to the over all 2,000ish pups that are born at Donna Nook each year, but it was still very sad.

The best spectacle to see here in Lincolnshire England in Autumn/Winter from October to December is the Grey Seals and there new-born pups at Donna Nook beach.

You’ve blown the biggest bubble you can with your gob full of bubble gum now what, there’s nothing else you can do with gum right? Wrong! challenge your friends to a bubble gum race.

My hubby and I decided to see who could be the first one to blow ten bubbles in a mad race, it’s not that easy to do my bubble gum kept falling out my mouth because I was laughing so much.

Face your opponent (this is important it means you can cheat by making your rival laugh and they wont be able to blow a bubble ). Bubbles have to make a pop or they don’t count and you can’t make your bubble bang by sucking it backwards it has to pop while being blown.

Pupils were saved from a potential road accident thanks to the fast actions of a 13-year-old boy in the USA

Jeremy Wuitschick was the only child on the bus to notice the bus driver pass out at the wheel, his fast action resulted in the bus coming to a safe stop on the side of the road preventing what could have been a fatal accident.

Jeremy quickly jumped up and grabbed the wheel when he noticed the driver slump in his seat and start to make unsual noises, his reaction was to take the keys out of the ignition.

I love living statues and this guy is the bomb at delighting the public.

We have living statues regularly in our town but none of them have ever jumped out at people, they tend to bow when you give them money. I have to say the living statue in the video is very brave since some people don’t take kindly to being scared or like me if anyone scares them they punch first and ask questions later, check out the second video in this post.

My hubby over the years has learned to be out of reach if he makes me jump, I have an over active fight or flight reflex which has resulted in my hubby being hurt on numerous occasions.
