1/4 of a year

[Sim11UK]

I'm probably going to come across, a bit stevewool here, (no bad thing) but Ladybug has been here exactly 3 months to the date and life is just great.
She's the best thing ever, to have happened to me.

She's put up with a lot, we live in a draughty old 1600 & something cottage, in a wood, with no central heating...Not mad on the British weather, but still smiling.

We've got quite a big garden here and she's enjoying being out there, when the weather is good, experimenting growing things, got loads of things in pots everywhere....We'll probably get some chickens in the spring, grow veg etc.

It's definitely the good life and I've found my Barbara. :heartshape1:

That sounds an idyllic place for you both, despite the cold. I bet it's lovely in summer though.
Congratulations to you both for finding such happiness together. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Actually, it reminds me of my last place, which my son loved too...also in the middle of nowhere, log fire, but lots of space for play and visiting friends (red one was ours). :)

Your life sounds perfect mate,material posessions,status,position,power,none of them mean squat,not a thing unless your happy,you cant put a monetary value on true love :)

[Sim11UK]

Thanks everyone, just wanted to share our joy. :)

[Sim11UK]

Thanks Tawi you are correct, but nothing is "perfect". We've had some insulation put in the roof today & now I'm looking up at a huge crack in the ceiling...A boot nearly came through. :doh

[Tawi2]

A boot nearly came through.
Ask Ladybug to be a tad more careful up there next time you have her insulating the loft :icon_lol: Merry Christmas to both of you ;) Hope its a special one and the first of many :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yes it is idylic in the summer and it's nice by the fire in the winter. We've got lots of space to spread ourselves out. I've lived here for 7 years, but wasn't quite sure how she'd take to it, but she's a farmers girl, she likes it. :)

I'm loving that barn, wish we had one.
Cars ok?...but where do you put the firewood? :icon_lol:

[Arthur Little]

by the way a beautiful picture you have

:iagree:, Steve ... but - if you're referring to their avatar picture - it's craftily devised to blank-out the parts displaying the "longjohns" they're being forced to wear in the house! :freezin::freezin:

[Sim11UK]

Hi simon and maria,

Happy to hear about your updates. :icon_lol::icon_lol: A song will be :So Happy Together:):):)

Thanks Ma Ann hopefully you'll be here soon, Maria says hi :)
Great song choice, I sent her an ecard with some bugs singing that, when we were apart. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Thanks Tawi you are correct, but nothing is "perfect". We've had some insulation put in the roof today & now I'm looking up at a huge crack in the ceiling...A boot nearly came through. :doh

Where there's blame, there's a claim - I'm sure it's totally ruined Christmas for you both :D

[Sim11UK]

:iagree:, Steve ... but - if you're referring to their avatar picture - it's craftily devised to blank-out the parts displaying the longjohns they're being forced to wear! :freezin::freezin:

Thanks Arthur we're not soft southerners here :D. Avatar is on the beach at Weston super Mare. A walk on the pier, shared a bag of chips and wrote our names in a heart in the sand...Romance ain't dead. :heartshape1:

[Sim11UK]

:REGamblMoney01HL1: It's being put right tomorrow. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

It was a compliment Steve...nobody could be as happy as you are. :) And yes plenty of warmth here, thanks Steve. :)

[Sim11UK]

Thanks Alan, that's nice. Hope you get to the Philippines again next year. :)


Long may the blessings continue :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Certainly hope so thank you Terpe. :)

:icon_lol: No tea for her tonight...Wish she had gone up there instead of Laurel & Hardy. :D

[Sim11UK]

:xxgrinning--00xx3: Si, and wishing you many more 1/4yrs together :rolleyes:

Thanks Joe, you know were a part of keeping us together, we wont ever forget that. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

I'm one of the guys who arranges to get the lofts done. ;)

They'll fix it and claim off their public liability insurance. Make sure they do a proper job though, and I'd take a photo of the damage BEFORE they arrive to do any repairs, with date and time on it. :)

Hmm....must check my loft. :Erm:

[Sim11UK]

:xxparty-smiley-004:

Was wondering what icq was, never heard of it? Ladybug knew...It's a chat site if anyone's interested? :)

[joebloggs]

It often is warmer outside no joke, but the place has got too many plus points...Not everyone's cup of tea of course... The garden will look like Chelsea Flower Show next summer, with all the plans she has...unless the deer eat them. :censored: squirrels eat all our apples too. :cwm23:

Merry Christmas though Stewart, you can have what we and others have got. :)

[Sim11UK]

Lucky for Mrs Bloggs :xxgrinning--00xx3:...Well you have Little Joe now too...all thanks too icq. :)
