Been a...

...bit busy around here!

Last weekend off we went and stayed a few days in Thaxted...cat sitting.  I had decided to get a new phone, which I accomplished and came away with an Omnia 7.  Oh! I just love playing with it, and it's cheaper to use than my old one, plus the phone itself was free...something I always love.

We also kind of came away with something else....this...


Cute isn't it!?  But I had to wave goodbye to my little red lady on Thursday when they came to Norfolk to do the switch...

It's gone...

...9am and the next season fixture list is out. Of course most eyes are on the Premier League, but those fans who have loves elsewhere have to look deeper.

My teams first match is at home against Bournemouth, followed by two away matches against Notts County and Colchester...then a visit from Scunthorpe. The full list is here Charlton 2011/2012 fixtures.

We meet the two Sheffields within a month, the new boys Stevenage is in October, and Preston in November.  I could go on, but the whole season is sprinkled with those all will think tougher...but then when you're fighting to get out this league, this season all matches will be tough.  We just need to support our team, wholeheartedly without reserve...so no negative vibes now!

A mixed...

...bag.

I've been making some more brooches with the beautiful handmade buttons I received, and this is the first of them...or rather this is the one I got the photo of as the weather got dark and I didn't get the rest finished....so....





I will be looking for more and different buttons soon...

Also, when I left my old garden some were concerned (or mentioned) I might have a trouble with leaving all the pretty things, especially as I couldn't bring anything with me; my old garden was riddled with ground elder.  So I thought I'd show you a view of the side of the house, beside the cart shed....


I can live with that!  Now all I need to do is find out which it is!  I have four or five climbing roses, of which, I have no idea of name...any ideas gratefully listened to.
