We have had a really lovely outdoor weekend! Hardly been home and its been great!
yesterday was Nikita's birthday and she is now 8 years old! Maureen says she is now really growing up.
Today we did a 3 hour hike up a a very steep hill at the back of the botanical gardens, the weather was great and sunny, (except for a chilly wind that blew cold every now and again) and we actually got quite a bit sunburnt despite some sun block cream smeared all over. You can see for miles up there and we had fun. Kevin actually got us lost!!!! (this is unbelievable) we took quite a scenic adventurous detour.
When we eventually, after fighting our way through thick thorny ouchy brambles, got back down we grabbed our picnic basket, flask of tea, and blankets, sat near the stage on the lawn and listened to a live jazz band play some great stuff, and just simply relaxed.
My son moved out today to his own place - scary because he is the last child to leave home, and we shall miss him - but our children must move on in their lives and they must move out! We all helped with some of the moving and luckily being only one person he did not have a lot of stuff to carry up those stairs. His new place is lovely and he can make it very comfortable! I am not going to know what to do with all the space and all the quiet now!! As parents you know the time has to come for your children to leave but it is always a sad time and yet a happy time, and sometimes - ABOUT TIME!! :)
About Me

- Shirley Moss
- I do sometimes (ok,ok, often) make mistakes, I love the Lord Jesus,adore my husband and ALL my children and all the rest of my family to bits - they are a HUGE blessing in my life and I really enjoy doing things with them and having them around. I have some very special friends whom I love too, and I am full of energy and love life, quite messy, and do sometimes need some help from my organised daughter and my wonderful lady who helps me twice a week, to put my life in order! Still have sooo much to do, I don't think I have time for it all. so many restaurants to try, so many movies still to see, belly dancing to learn, many friends to love and entertain, and wonderful people to meet, my career to fulfill. I am a romantic at heart, and love candles and roses and soft lights and kisses. I have a little as yet unfulfilled desire for adventure, and would like to travel through Africa and visit some places and experience the people. (like we did in Zambia) I want to make the 'here and now' fun too, and will journey through this life, learning all the time, and grabbing life with both hands!
