What I am going to do with these later on today…..

Blackberries picked yesterday while out walking with Geoff

And Cooking Apples, which came from a tree in Cloudgazer’s garden.

Every time I try to visit Deb Acle

I get this warning on Firefox…

and this on Chrome…

So I have been unable to read her blog or leave any comments 🙁

Does anyone else have problems visiting her site ???

Last week-end was spent with Geoff’s sons, and Granddaughter.

Nick Mia and Isla live in Dubai and Steve and Ren live in Nottingham so they don’t all get together very often.

We Took Isla to Wimpole hall farm to see the animals, she especially wanted to see the horse.

After Geoff had got over the disgustingly High entrance fee the day was enjoyed by all.

This week-end we travelled North to Clowne For Geoff’s brothers 65th birthday party.

His sister Jenny was there too so it was great to see Roger Geoff and Jenny altogether. 

Marilyn had done a beautiful spread of food so a great afternoon of eating drinking and chatter.

Roger and Marilyn’s grandson, Cameron was the star of the afternoon, at 6 months old he is such a happy boy who smiles every time someone talks to him.

Morris Maxine and Cameron live in Bermuda so it was a treat to see them all.

On Sunday when I was going to the local corner shop from Geoff’s.

A Romanian girl, called Anna, stopped me and asked me if I could help her.

She was a student starting her studies in September, going to Kings College ( I think )

Basically she had travelled to Cambridge from Ely to try and secure herself a place at the YMCA.

The guy, she did give me his name but I cannot remember it now, had taken £200 off her to secure her a room with 6 other girls.

This left her with no money and she needed to get back to Ely to collect her belongings.

So I took her to the train station and got her a return ticket rather than just give her money.

On the way she told me all about her family and how poor Romania is compared to England.

She told me how little they earn but also how cheap thing were in Romania compared to England.

Now a lot of you think this was a sham and that I was conned .

If I really wanted too I could look her up at the YMCA but I don’t feel the need too.

The ticket only cost me £3.50 and I would like to think if my boys ever needed help someone would be kind enough to help them.

Also it gave me a lot of pleasure to help this girl out  and the feel good factor was worth far more than £3.50.

Thanks to Geoff , who not only got Andrew a job  interview but came over from Cambridge this morning to take him to the interview.

Andrew now has a job at the National Construction College in Bircham Newton.

Its a residential college and Andrew is going to work in the catering department which is run by Sodexo 

Its 12 miles from my house to the college and to begin with he will bike to and from work, hopefully we shall sort something more suitable out before the cold dark winter months come.

The other unbelievable thing is he also has an interview at Morrisons tomorrow for a full time job.

Matthew was also offered a job today at Morrisons , 14 hours a week working on the grocery department. He was delighted and it will fit in well around college when he starts his brick laying course.

All that has to fall into place now is Andrews fitness instructors course…

I have been waiting for this day for many many months and I can tell you days like today are priceless…   JUST LIKE GEOFF  🙂
