How time flies!: May 2006

About Me

Location: Tynemouth, North Tyneside, United Kingdom

Find out who I am on my website at www.kathheth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk. I will be 74 in August 2012. I put my feet up occasionally after I've done a lot of walking but I continue to lead an active life doing what I want when I want. My daughter, Lynn, and I are bosom buddies enjoying each other's company on outings and shopping trips. Walking along the beach is heavy going on feet and legs but a stroll along the bank top fills in a pleasant afternoon. I haven't done much photography since I photographed some famous ships as they sailed into, or out of, the mouth of the Tyne. However, not all of those shown here were taken by me including the latest one of the Swan Hunter dock and cranes being shipped out to India. I have updated my family news section to include details of how I recently became a widow. And also how losing her Dad has affected Lynn. Hopefully, I will continue to update my blog frequently from now on.

New patio area update

Here are some pictures of our latest additions. The main feature is two large tubs filled with Sennetti. These are spring flowering patio plants which will tolerate temperatures down to freezing. There is a web site for more information if you are interested at www.senetti.info

garden patio area improvement

The paving is successfully completed and we have spent quite a few sunny days there already. Next we will be adding lights, flower tubs and a water feature. There is also a lot of tidying up to be done in the rest of the garden. Soil removed prior to laying the paving stones needs to be redistributed, but we are running out of places to put it. No hurry though!
