Fishing Jim

A friend of Mar's is making some cards to sell at a fishing event to raise funds for cancer and I thought I would lend a hand and make a few cards to add to her collection to sell. Now that Sally-Ann (of Grab-a-doodle-do fame) has her new website Digistamp Boutique up and running I thought her Jim Fishing character would be ideal - and I bought all 3 Jims for a special offer price too.

Costa Del Porty!!

woohooo, we're loving this weather - tis scorchio, although a bit on the breezy side, but that's only to be expected when you live right on the coast.

thought I'd share some pics of the us in the garden and a wee short vid of our new Koi Carp. Our pond has been leaky for a while now, and some of you may remember that a Heron decided to gorge himself on xmas morning with the huge goldfish and the wee shubunkins that we had in the pond. So, this time home, Graham has emptied, relined and refilled the pond. We had a clear out as some of the plants were getting a bit too rampant. And yesterday afternoon we went and restocked the pond. We bought 8 Koi - 1 had died before we even got half way home, then Graham went back today to get a replacement, another 2 Koi and 4 Weather Loaches. So, plenty of wee friends for the resident froggy.
