Because we're worth it ...


We have both been laid low with terrible colds this week.
~
So I have made us a treat.
~
~
We are therefore vegging out in front of the TV
with cycling, rugby, Call the Midwife and Mr Selfridge.
~
Yes, we are definitely worth it!
~
Hope you have all avoided the dreaded lurgy.

It went down a treat! ...

 
Yes, of course I mean
the Valentine Coconut Ice.
~
I took it to our Short Mat Bowls match last night
Passed it round to everyone.
It put them in a good mood
and I even got a round of applause and thanks
for making it
which was very nice.
~
At my quilting class in the afternoon
One member had made us some heart-shaped Valentine biscuits.
They went down very well too
~
It is good to send out some love and affection to friends
~
Hope you all had plenty of love and affection for Valentine's Day

(P.S. Although I gave my opponent in the Singles Match
two lots of Coconut Ice he didn't let me beat him.
As he is one of the best singles players in our league I
felt I did very well to get a 9-9 draw!  Well pleased!)

A trip to Tenby between sunshine and showers ...

We popped in to Tenby this morning for a bit of shopping and a walk around.
Thought you might like to come with us.
(Please click on the photos to get a much better view.)

 Looking back across town from the top of Castle Hill.
~
The sun was trying its best to appear over the bandstand and St Catherine's Island.
There were two lots of sailing boats huddling round a marker buoy.
Presumably they were racing. We weren't really sure, but could even hear the sailors shouting at one another,
their voices carrying to us across the water, which was very calm.

One of the Castle Hill canons keeping an eye on things!
~
Prince Albert looking down over Tenby and the harbour from his lofty position.
Spring starting to show its face as the first daffodils are starting to open.
The bandstand, overlooking St Catherine's Island with Caldey Island in the background.
The town beach was washed clean, and there were quite a few
walkers about.  We went down there ourselves as well.
~
Hope you enjoyed our little trip with us.
