Happy Birthday To Hubby Andy on Thursday February 5.....21 Again...

~~~~~~~~~~

Plus 30...hehe....Yes, my dear hubby is 51 today. Now he’s going to feel embarrassed by me doing this, especially when he sees the photos......Now wasn’t he a cute baby holding his cuddly bunny, which he called Nut Nut I believe........

~~~~~~~~~~

What a Smile....

~~~~~~~~~~

Andy has a younger sister, who I think is sitting in the car behind this handsome spotted steed. I would think this is one of the few times he rode a ‘horse’ as he is not too comfortable around them.......

What a lot of people don’t know is that hubby had quite a fine voice and at one time was head choir boy. He used to sing in the beautiful Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire and even appeared on Songs of Praise. He continued singing in a choir when he joined the army. Now I always thought he had a good voice, so me being the dutiful wife volunteered him for the local Hayle Male Voice Choir (wicked aren’t I). Give Andy credit he did give it a go and lasted about 6 weeks...hehe......

Andy is 4th from the right on the back row
(he is asleep at the mo, blissfully unaware I showing you guys this...lol...)

The following photo shows Andy a little older and certainly much younger than today. I didn’t know him at this time. He is at work as a taxi controller in Nottingham, a job he still does here in Cornwall as well as school runs. Talking of his job, he has not booked today off. I had made plans for the day which was to end in having a meal but you know what men are like. We usually go away as my birthday is also this month (also wedding anniversary) but because of the builders and my back still not 100% we have postponed our break away. We were hoping to go at the end of March but Andy just heard this week that he will be having his op to have his gall bladder removed on the 4th March. So it looks like we may only manage a long weekend sometime this month...Ha well....

Aren’t we a pair of old crocks!!! I myself am not 100% but way better than I was. It was a long haul this time, I even went to see our GP which I never do. He wants to see me again in a month, drat.... But I was mobile enough to stand out in the snow on Monday.....yes I know there has been lots and lots of snow up country but for the first time since we have been living here in Cornwall we had proper snow. Even Hayle, which usually only gets a shower of hailstones. You can imagine what I was like, I love the snow. Andy even asked the builders when he came home from work if I’d been dancing in it, he knows me so well. I know the following pic doesn’t show much but this was early in the afternoon.....

The following pictures are beautiful. My friend Charlotte’s brother is away at university and this is near where he lives....

We had more snow at night and I stood outside watching the snow fall. It was so quiet and the air so fresh, it felt really Chrismassy, magical. I took a photograph of my tree in the front garden and went to take more but the batteries died, typical. But there are some good pics on http://www.bbc.co.uk/cornwall/ in the pictures for weather........

~~~~~~~~~~

I know this doesn’t show much but at least we had some.
Notice the rubble, etc, from my ongoing building work.
I hope to get the outside of the house painted in the Spring....

~~~~~~~~~~

The snow has all gone now because of the rain. Charlotte and I went to Penzance today and it was very wet with a strong icy wind. The sea was very choppy with the spray splashing over the rail track. I was pleased to get home.....But the forecast is that more snow is expected later this week.I know it can be hazardous and I do feel for the animals, especially the sheep as they lamb in February but I can’t help it, I love snow.....Until next time take care...lol......
