A REVIEW OF 2013

First I would like to wish all of you a very happy and peaceful New Year and I would also like to thank those of you who have enquired about me due to my lack of blogging,it was nice to know I was missed.
Since my last post in April,my quiet life became so quiet I felt I had nothing to blog about and the longer I put off blogging the harder it became to get going again.
Looking back over the year things did happen,it was not as boring as I had imagined,in May my friend Deb from Delaware came to stay with me for a week and I had a wonderful time showing her around Ireland,well the county I live in,I will show her the rest when she comes again.!!
My eldest grandson left school and went off to university,my granddaughter changed from a little girl into a very tall teenager and the youngest ones have started school and are growing up so fast it it frightening.!!
In September John and I went to England to a very grand wedding,I also visited my sister and my mother,the first time I had seen them this year.
I got on a horse for the first time in years....yes that is me in the new header picture...!!!
Now we have just spent a very quiet Christmas as most of the family went away this year,and we will have a very quiet New Year as they are all still away.
I have not taken a lot of  photos this year but I will leave you with a few of the better ones I did manage to take.


 Cheeky rabbit
 August thistles
 Peacock butterfly
 Fox,hoping I could not see him .
Hummingbird Hawk Moth,not common in Ireland,so I was thrilled to get this photo.
My New Year resolution is to make sure I do something worth blogging about and not let my quiet life get to quiet and boring.
Carolyn.
