Nelly's Garden: June 2015
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. Martha has always had a keen interest in umbrellas. So I told her that we would be bringing a packed lunch, and that we would have just one ice cream and that all the rest of our money would be spent in Barry's going on dodgems, carousels and other exciting rides. We would definitely not be going into shops to buy pink tat. If it gets too rainy I'll buy you an umbrella. Labels: ubrella pester power Portrush. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. I hadn't my gloves on.

Nelly's Garden: December 2014
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. December Daily Post, Last One! I've found this daily posting a bit of a trial. At the beginning of the month I envisaged a stately, sometimes humourous progression towards Christmas and beyond. But, as some dude said, life is what happens while you're making other plans. Happy New Year to everyone who visits the garden. Here's hoping for lots of joy and fun for 2015. Labels: New Years Eve. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. December Daily Post, No. 30.

Nelly's Garden: February 2015
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Sorting out the photographs on my external hard drive has me living in the past and tonight I'm back in 2011. I wondered what was happening on this day four years ago and as there is this online diary thing called Nelly's Garden I was able to find out in just a few clicks. It seems I was right here in Springhill after spending a short spell in Drumkeeran looking after Matty. Things weren't working out exactly as I'd hoped. Saturday, February 26, 2011. In time I got to like th...

Nelly's Garden: Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/saturday-night-sunday-morning.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Saturday Night, Sunday Morning. It appears to be after midnight. I prepped white currants, raspberries and gooseberries for the freezer as I watched two episodes of The Newsroom. I could have named this post Sticky Fingers. Things that occurred today -. 1 It was Sweet Baby James' one week old anniversary. Judging by the photographs his parents send he appears to be fairly contented with his life so far. Six more sleeps 'til I set eyes on the little blighter. I enjoy them being tini...

Nelly's Garden: Far From The Madding Crowd
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2015/08/far-from-madding-crowd.html
Saturday, August 01, 2015. Far From The Madding Crowd. I am currently in the wilds of North Norfolk and Internet speeds are not quite what they are in Cullybackey. It took at least two minutes for this page to open! But, on the plus side, I am spending a lot of time with my new grandchild James. He is a very lovely child and enjoys sleeping on his granny. Who needs the Internet? Hope you enjoy yourself getting to know your grandson. Have a great time and enjoy the peace xxx. Time to consider the lilies.

Nelly's Garden: The Cutting Kind
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-cutting-kind.html
Friday, July 24, 2015. My youngest daughter writes a blog entitled The Palace of Heavenly Pleasure. And she has recently been writing pen portraits about the people in her life. Most recently she wrote about her mother and it was most interesting to me. This was my favourite part,. Nelly is one of the kindest people on the planet. She is intelligent, sharp and witty but she could cut you like a knife. And she'd have no qualms about doing so. So here goes,. I really love this time of year because there is...

Nelly's Garden: July 2015
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. There are only 365.25 days in a year so it's not that great a coincidence when folk share birthdays, anniversaries and so on. Even so, at 20 years old, I was quite taken that my new boyfriend and my mother shared the same birth date. Martha Amy is in the foreground, the only one of her great-grandchildren she ever got to meet, and she is wearing a crazy hat that Matty knitted, And that would be one of the last things Matty ever made. I wonder where it is now? Sunday, July 26, 2015.

Nelly's Garden: September 2014
http://nellysgarden.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. Every year I hope for a decent summer and wish for an Indian summer. This year my hopes and wishes came true. At the back of my mind I worry that this is climate change in action then, being sensible, remember that climate change and the weather are different things. Still, it is good to know that fine summers are not a thing of the past. Katy and Mark in the Craft Village. Places we enjoyed visiting in Stroke City. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. I stopped in Antrim to check...

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Every Picture Tells A Story. Zoe's sketch of her grandmother. 663 views, taken 2005. That is a month and a bit of Flickr's mostest views and interestingness all redd up and I can't say I'm sorry.

Seen in the background Bert with Swisser's dog Tracey (I know! A dog called Tracey) and our dog Paddy. Both of them gone now. The 29th most interest...
