Hello from the Hovel on this very cold and windy Sunday. An ideal day to take a walk and blow away the cobwebs but judging by the strength of the wind it would be best to stay at home. So that leaves me with no option but to start packing away my lounge contents, yep the renovations continue for the lounge is the next place to be done. The bathroom is nearly finished, just waiting for the plumber to come and fit the bath, toilet, sink and shower!!!! When it’s all finished I will post some pics. Besides the bathroom the hallway ceilings have been plastered and the banister and doors are being repaired. There’s been a lot going on and I now have the job of cleaning all that dust which gets everywhere!!!! But it’s not been all dust and cement. I went to my son’s ex-girlfriend’s birthday party on Friday and had a great time and hubby and I are going out for a meal this evening. I say going out for a meal, that’s if he is ok. Unfortunately it seems that he may have a gall-bladder problem and has had a painful attack this morning. I understand very much what he is going through because I had my gall-bladder removed about 4 years ago but Andy is going for a scan on Tuesday so hopefully he will know one way or the other........
- I used to be a Catholic and wanted to be a nun....
- I believe in the paranormal. My house is haunted by an elderly lady I call Daisy, an elderly man I call George, a young woman I call Sarah and ‘The Visitor’ who is not very nice. And yes I’m perfectly sane (well nearly)....
- I love the musty smell of old books. I get some strange looks when I hold an old book and smell it!!!....
- I feel as one with nature, the wind, the rain, snow and the power of the sea. I love nothing more than to be alone with the elements. Standing on an empty beach with the waves crashing, the wind blowing and rain falling on my face sooths my inner soul yet invigorates me at the same time....
- I believe in the magic of fairies, Father Christmas, the Little People, Holy Wells, Stone Circles, trees and such like....
- I have always wanted to have a residential children’s home with enough land to have a donkey sanctuary and smallholding....
- I am fascinated by the history of people and places and feel drawn to specific people, buildings and places – Glastonbury Tor, Newchurch & Pendle Hill, Tintern Abbey, Haworth, The Brontes, Albert Ball, Anne Boleyn to name but a few....

The next step is for me to tag 7 other blogs but I do know that some people do not like being tagged and then the problem is which 7 to choose.......so I will leave it open and tag you all. Do let me know so I can visit and read all about you...hehe...
**************
Glastonbury Tor, Somerset
Although I have visited Glastonbury I have never
been to the Tor, yet why am I drawn to it!

Pendle Hill, Lancashire
Each time I visit Pendle, particularly Newchurch,
I feel a connection!

**************
Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire
Until 2007 I had never visited this place. Yet coming across it
by chance one day I knew that this was the building
I had seen in my dreams sometime before.
Not able to stop at that time I was able to visit at a later date and
felt I had walked these grounds before!

**************
The Bronte Parsonage, Haworth, Yorkshire. February 2007I have visited Haworth many times and feel drawn to this place.
Some years ago I found out that an ancestor of mine
married into a family from Haworth!

**************
Since a girl I have been fascinated by the Brontes,
especially Charlotte!
Albert ball - 1896-1917 –On a visit to Nottingham Castle many years ago
I saw a large portrait of Albert Ball at the top of a winding staircase
Since then I have felt drawn to him.
Anne Boleyn - (1501 or 1507 - 1536)
I enjoyed studying Henry VIII and his six wives
at school, especially Anne Boleyn.

Well there you go, I hope you don't think I'm too potty after reading this post...hehe...and it looks like we will not be going for that meal afterall. Poor Andy, although he is feeling better the attack has left him a bit frail. The weather here is also still very windy and now lashing with rain, reminds me of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. So I think an evening by the fire is called for......Until next time...lol....

"Hum dum dum ditty dum, Hum dum dum
Oh the wind is lashing lustily, And the trees are thrashing thrustily,
And the leaves are rustling gustily, So it's rather safe to say,
That it seems that it may turn out to be, It feels that it will undoubtedly,
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be. Feels that it will undoubtedly,
Looks like a rather blustery day today"
