What a week!

All week we were waiting for the result of T's senior school appeal and on Friday we finally received a letter with those magical words 'appeal be allowed'.
What a huge relief! Cue cheering and jigging on the spot!
G had attended the hearing on 13th and was told we should have a letter through the post on Tues or Wed. Nothing arrived and so I rang them to be told the letters weren't actually going out until Thursday.
So it was Friday before the verdict was delivered by post. We were on tenterhooks all week!



My back has been giving me a lot of discomfort and a little pain this past week.Sitting down has been the worst position and not helpful for blogging or blog reading. Thankfully I've been and had a couple of sessions with a chiropractor and Oh the difference going to see her has made, although my back felt so sore yesterday. I've been given some simple exercises to do at home and told I need to strengthen my core muscles.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the fabulous flowers on this post. They are all from a beautiful posy of flowers gathered from the garden of another blogger whom many of you are probably very familiar with. Lou from www.poppy-lou.blogspot.com had very kindly invited me to her home where I had a tour of her incredible garden.

A freshly baked lemon cake was enjoyed as we spent a (very quick) couple of hours chatting about all sorts. All too soon it was time to leave and as well as the flowers Lou gave me some very pretty crochet bunting made by her own fair hand. Is there a craft this clever woman is incapable of?! I shall show it off once I've got it hanging up.

Thank you Lou for a lovely afternoon and for my lovely gifts.
