Week 16 - Layout - "picnic in the park"



This week my layout features an absolutely beautiful little scrapkit by Chelly Oliveira called "Little Frogs" Isn't it adorable! And you know what's even better? You can go ahead and pick that up totally Free from The Little Scrap Garden

I also want to give a shout out to Irene O'neill for the template I used for this layout!

Week 16 - 15th to 21st April 2010



The weather finally took a turn for the better and Christopher and I decided to go for a picnic in the park! We went to Cadzow Glen Scuplture Park which is a gorgeous park right in the town centre. It's so strange.. You go down a set of stairs right in the town centre and suddenly you are there in a lovely park! You'd never guess you were in the town!

One half of the park has been landscaped and has lovely grass and flower beds, there is a river winding through as well. Then as you pass under the road bridge you get to the unlandscaped part where there are fallen trees and over grown pathways. I guess the plan is to eventually fix it too, but I actually kind of like it that way! All wild and free as nature intended.. although the vandalisim and trash make me sad.

THe park has sculptures dotted around even in the wild part! The range from stone installations, the ornate gates and inlaid pathways to carvings right in the trees! We explored them all before settling down in the grass to eat!

Week 15 - 8th to 14th April - Layout





We went to visit Gran K in Sanquhar for the day. It's always nice to go down there where it's so quiet and all the country air. I love being on the train too! We saw lots of little baby lambs too! Being a city boy Christopher was really excited!



Of course a visit to see Gran K needs to include the infamous Monkey Puzzle Tree!!! I don't know how the game started but all the grandkids play it! When they see the tree the must shout "Monkey Puzzle Tree" and the first to do so wins!

Week 14 - 1st to 7th April - LAyout




We got a table and chairs a while back and the plan was always to eventually get the livingroom sorted out with a smaller desk and move the big one into Christopher's room to make space for the dining table here. So this week we got it moved through and hooked him up with a PC of his own (my old one!) He's a geek in training that one!
