<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I'm still not 100% and have not been on the web for a while, however, I will be publishing again when I can think of any topics so please bear with me. </span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Meanwhile enjoy the music I have deleted the old ones and updated it with more of my kind of music.</span><br />

The site cat and a local Pheasant eyeballing each other . The cat made no attempt to chase the Pheasent and the Pheasent in turn was obviously at home with the cat being so close.<br /><br /><br />I thought it made a wonderful picture to share with you all.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513421275257401554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 317px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 195px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4biZY0pdS3MPmd348MOuWqHyWdaWtVfJl8VVRvGLVfdc3D68QF2Y5ywozIs1k8d-3x1Ce-7Ck0pTH8IKZCTPi2VBcgyWyP-u5fGbcBJ9bMBP_x0ZS7aK3T9xsrzTeNCuOQWOhYMe9l2g/s200/IMG_0369ao.jpg" border="0" /><br />If you have any captions you could leave for this picture please feel free to do so....<br /><br />Peter XXpeterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01677094719069040565noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710821582700070.post-71251005126119448022010-07-30T05:44:00.000-07:002010-09-05T06:43:22.829-07:00Could this mean trouble at Mill ?<div>This morning I looked out of the window to find the kitty bed is on a time share with another pussy also of undetermined sexuality.<br /><br />Now I don't mind, but I just hope if pussy no 1 comes along they can be civil about this as I don't really want a 'cat's chorus' right outside my home.<br /><br />But this one looks cute also so hopefully they can share the experience.

I took it home in a plastic bag no pot or little in the way of earth around the roots, I left it on the doorstep and forgot about it. A while later unannoynced she came to visit and to my horror the plastic bag was still on the doorstep with the plant inside. She was garcious enought not to mention it but I froze on the spot.<br /><div><div>After she had gone I decided to plant it in a large pot and left it by the front door it was there all through the winter months and I thought it had died. But look at it now.. a lovely plant has blossomed where a dank yellowy weed once was. <div></div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499276657256180850" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 124px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s200/IMG_0350a.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQycXSr0H0es__afUikgSeqnYB9IkBAXSDzYZKTQelVfBfdOlZ4wztyTU40v3LnVlzLqx7h_ESiMCDLTvJ5x3F9NJeeDPQNEPXROrnbECHPz7-ZsoOvuWVEBV9hg55JZZZLJZI1yYDy6o/s1600/IMG_0355a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499276941948574290" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQycXSr0H0es__afUikgSeqnYB9IkBAXSDzYZKTQelVfBfdOlZ4wztyTU40v3LnVlzLqx7h_ESiMCDLTvJ5x3F9NJeeDPQNEPXROrnbECHPz7-ZsoOvuWVEBV9hg55JZZZLJZI1yYDy6o/s200/IMG_0355a.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Does anyone know what it's called?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsU5zGL4b6UTyCyR_gH_oUno36hUXnQNWSXF0jOjTMOhcq8Qcw1q8PNiccjUMMjxWRkrOo2j0b0XhngthpVT76I1vyseyFlS8I0fk9uk0xd-G-csjZ5kJHeZv7uNu6Pn662So4axf6YEw/s1600/IMG_0350a.jpg"></a></div>peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01677094719069040565noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710821582700070.post-90657810970870924352010-07-07T04:13:00.000-07:002010-07-08T09:38:56.189-07:00Widor , HRH Princess Margaret and the Poltimore Tiara<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_vZPLWdXOT2gEEcybzBlc2H_hryFPBBodyY_PXHeyPNsh7fTkbmIn7G3QaFMd7EL8RnU1tHZJvLJpKKlap2_rrsHTlWw1ZNlS7Pg-VEUaxuChfuqgrPD8jH7k9e_kXVq64mgR_erWs0Q/s1600/tiara_-_princess_margaret_2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491122833048966162" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_vZPLWdXOT2gEEcybzBlc2H_hryFPBBodyY_PXHeyPNsh7fTkbmIn7G3QaFMd7EL8RnU1tHZJvLJpKKlap2_rrsHTlWw1ZNlS7Pg-VEUaxuChfuqgrPD8jH7k9e_kXVq64mgR_erWs0Q/s200/tiara_-_princess_margaret_2.jpg" border="0" /></a> I have just added a new section to my music. It's number 10 and is by Charles Widor (pronounced Vidor).. His 'Toccata' some of you may recognise from Princess Margaret's wedding to Anthony Armstrong Jones, on 6th May 1960.<br /><br />It has to be one of my most favourite classical pieces.. I hope you like it.<br /><br />The pics are just a bit of bling to remind people how stunning Princess Margaret once was..

It was unusual in as much as it was a diadem tiara and not open at the back as most were.<br /><p></p>It was sold on 17th June 2007, it's estimated value of between £150,000.00 and £200,000.00 was topped by the end bid of £924,000.000, by a chinese business person and has now been re-homed in China.peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01677094719069040565noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710821582700070.post-36951985073802999962010-06-12T15:25:00.000-07:002010-06-12T15:43:14.526-07:00HOORAY HOORAY the card turneth up<center><a href="http://www.zwani.com/graphics/disney/"><img alt="zwani.com myspace graphic comments" src="http://images.zwani.com/graphics/disney/images/10.gif" border="0" /></a></center><center> </center><div><div><div>I have had a PM from Pixie Lou to say the wedding card has turned up on her doorstep this morning having taken nearly three weeks to arrive ( should have sent it second class it would have got there sooner)..

Liverpool fan Sue ( Ric's colleague) her daughter Zoe's 18th, Man U fan son Josh and now her husband Vince..I have it on authority that Vince is covered in tattoos, so used that idea to come up with his card. The backing paper is of a tattoo design for a tiger which I then transferred to 3D Card Builder 2 to repeat the image .. also I used a strip of blue faux snakeskin card ( to beef it up a bit) with peeloffs. The pic of Vince was given to me by his wife Sue ( an old school photo) and pyramaged using the same CD ( it looks a bit squiffy because of the angle I took it at . The sentiment was done using Wordart and cut with Nesties. The insert is another Tattoo design and the words are done using a font often used by Tattooists . Any comments would be appreciated.<br /><div></div></div>peterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01677094719069040565noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710821582700070.post-69235355786184915602010-04-24T07:17:00.000-07:002010-04-24T11:24:28.238-07:00Oh Disheartened meI'm getting really disheartened with the response I am getting for my blog..
