Gone fishing!

I'm back from my travels! *Ü* I have spent the past week with my sister who lives in Devon. She has been in hospital and had surgery for kidney stones, so I wanted to spend some precious time with her....AND she is going to be 60 on 17th September. So for 2 days, we are both going to be 60! I remember the big build up for my 60th last year. It was definately my best birthday - EVER! *Ü*

So, on to my trip. My sister's house is elevated on a slope with beautiful views of the bay and every day I was there, I awoke to a different sky. Such beautiful sunrises on most days but each one still very different with the sun peeking through the clouds or sending rays up into the blue sky.



As my sister wasn't feeling too good, we spent time on her sun deck. After a hospital visit to remove the stent she had in her...ugh...she was a different person and although she felt quite sick at first, she soon felt better in herself. We then made up for lost time and went to have some therapy - my birthday treat from her - in a fish tank! Little fishes nibbled the dead skin on our feet! We screamed with laughter as it was such a weird sensation at first. LOL. It seems to be a new thing in the country.

We also managed a visit to a boot fair and had a Devon cream tea! *Ü*

So, now my travels are over - until Alexander Palace on 24th September that is! *Ü* Until then, I shall get my head down and get on with playing catch up!

Have a good week yourselves and thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

Hi there Glen, that photo of the sky is amazing - I love shots like that.

How wonderful for you to be able to spend some quality time with your sister.

Loads of folk round here have been raving about that fishy foot thing - I'll be giving it a miss. However, I would have joined you for the cream tea LOL

Those sunrises look beautiful, not convinced on the fish (bizarrely not overly keen on having fish swim really close to me....even in the sea!) The cream tea looks excellent, glad you had a lovely time :)
