Arundel Walks, Mothers Day Gift, Wedding Nostalgia and Antique Decorative Furniture
Good Morning
from
Arundel Eccentrics
Saturday 12th April.
The months are flying.
I might think of writing the Christmas newsletter soon.
No, no, you may laugh, but it takes me ages anyway.
The rate the years going may as well make a start.
It's hard keeping up with everything isn't it?
I bought a book some while ago.
" How to Organise Your Life"
If I could only get around
to reading the second half of it,
I'd be made.
Lists help.....it's the crossing off as you do things.
Oh joy! The feeling of satisfaction.

Anyway, what of this week.
We've had some great weather.
Arundel at last seems to have realised Spring is on it's way.
I went for the most lovely walk along the riverbank the other day.
Down Mill Road to The Black Rabbit and back along the river bank.
It's like a film set in Arundel isn't it?
Nesting going on all along Mill road.
The mill stream buzzing with life.
Water voles .....
I see they've done some renovations and re decoration.
It's looking very welcoming inside.
This was early morning, so all quiet before the lunchtime rush.

............and back into town
It's such a beautiful walk.
Mothers Day
I had the most gorgeous gift from my son, Jay and his wife, Krista.
It arrived this week.
Held up in customs.
Worth the wait though.
It's a photograph of him and I taken on their wedding day.
It has been printed on to wood.
Marvellous idea.
The makers then plant a tree for every one sold.
I was thrilled with it.
Their baby is looking more beautiful with each passing day.
We would so love to go and see them.
I just need to sell a few more bamboo tables and chests of drawers to buy a flight.
By the way talking of their wedding day....
It was a day to remember for ever......
look like mafioso don't they?
The wedding was at Rosemont Manor in Virginia.
If you are in that area looking for a wedding venue...I'd say look no further.
Its stunning.
