Sheep and birthdays




Well its been my Mum's birthday earlier this week (happy birthday Mum!) and we visited her on Sunday. She lives in Northumberland near the Cumbrian border. It was gorgeous weather so we had a lovely sunday dinner and gave her a pressie of cards & Card making things - another craftie - now you know where I get it from. She paints watercolours in her spare time too :).



Anyway, we decided to go for a drive out to where we used to live and go to the church yard and visit my dads grave. Its been 9 years since he died but we dont get the chance to visit the grave much. After cleaning the grave up and putting in fresh flowers, we got a chance to make the most of the weather. The surroundings were beautiful and I love April because of the lambing season. I have to say these are pretty big sheep for the time of year.Anyway, I made good use of my camera and took 100+ pictures on the way there and back.



It took us over 5 hours travelling but it was certainly worth it and what beautiful weather for April too! Hope its been as good weather where you are this weekend!
