October 9th - 11th Keys, Scones and Bugs

I just had to take a photo of these keys. You may well wonder why. I just had  to take a photo and send it through to George at work.  Over a week ago, we were looking for these keys as they open our french doors in the lounge. Obviously the doors don't get much use over winter. But we needed to open the doors and could not find the keys. They weren't in their usual hidey hole. We tore the lounge upside down. Then 6 days later I was rearranging and here were the keys we were looking for, quite innocently sitting on the hearth at the very front in full view - where we had both tipped everything over, moved items and looked. That is one mystery that will never be explained. And that is why I had to take a photo and send a copy to George.

Saturday dawned and it was only interrupted by lovely neighbours who are moving on to greener pastures and a larger house with their growing family. They came to wish us goodbye and brought with them some lovely home baking. Confession time.. some have been eaten and there are a few less than originally gifted.

Finally the weekend finished with a walk to our neighbourhood lake. Unfortunately two dogs have unexplainedly died recently here, and they feel it may be linked to lake algae. Signs are everywhere. Fortunately Minnie is always on a leash and doesn't run free, but we still have to remain vigilant on our walks

After that sombre note, I will end with a photo of a pretty flower sighted on our walk. Absolutely beautiful colours that would brighten any day
