Say a little prayer....

-
Hi all....

I have a bit of a favour to ask you all....I was wondering if you may, if you have the time, spare a thought , make a wish or say a little prayer for my brother, Mark...

He was involved in a horrible accident on his way to work on Tuesday morning when he was hit by a car that was trying to make a turn and beat the oncoming traffic.... The other driver was turning against the lights and ploughed into the the side of my brother at quite a speed...

Unfortunately Mark was on his motorbike at the time...

The impact saw Mark's leg all but severed below the knee...

To date he has faced one lengthy surgery to try to repair the leg..and is set to face many more...including the loss of 2-3 toes on his left foot due to unrepairable damage from being thrown from his bike from the impact...

We are now hoping, praying and crossing everything that the surgery is successful and he is able to keep his leg...and this is what I hope you will share in your thoughts...

He has quite a battle ahead of him but we are so glad that he is alive as it could have ended a lot differently...

So please say a little prayer on his behalf ...if you are not religious please keep him close to your heart  or wish him well...

....and please all of you that drive any sort of vehicle, whether it be a car, bike, truck...whatever....please drive safely and remember that one decision made in haste to save a little time can change a life in a matter of seconds...

Till next time.... Chris x

    Thanks so much for all of your kind words ladies....

    A bit of an update...Mark has undergone a couple of surgeries to date...the first to re-attach his right leg...the second involving further surgery to that leg and the amputation of two toes on his "good" foot.

    So far things seem to be travelling okay but he faces an indecisive future while we wait to see if the surgery has worked. He faces numerous more surgeries including skin grafts to close the wound should the re-attachment turn out to be sucessful.

    Anyways...its fingers and everything else crossed here for a while longer.

    Thanks again for your thoughts xxxx

    Oh my gosh!!!! Your poor brother. I will definately keep him in my prayers.

    Grrrr... stupid drivers!!! I see accidents like this a lot. Innocent people hurt or killed because someone is in a hurry.

I'm a bit late with this post...... but better late than never has always been my motto! Now..... the little cutie-pie pictured above I am sure you will recognise as my little neice Charlotte and ... although I am struggling to believe it.... she is one already!!!...my how time flies. This major event came to pass about a month ago..but I have only just received some lovely up to date pics from my "sis"...hence the late post! It seems like only yesterday I laid eyes on my new little "best friend"!....and that is what we are fast becoming. She is the sweetest little person I have ever met and the joy I get from my visits, her cuddles, chuckles and sloppy kisses is immense...well its practically immeasurable!!!. I just love her to bits (but I am certain you will have guessed that already...lol) Having not been blessed with kids myself I am so grateful to my sweet brother and sister-in-law (who is more like my sis) for allowing me to be so involv...

Regular followers of my BLOG would be aware of my passion for all things "old and prairie" and in particular my fetish for old victorian boots, about which I have written on a couple of occasions. Well.......I have been on the scout for some for a couple of my customers and happened to come across a few lovely pairs....four to be precise....however as it seems to be with everything else in my life...this was not to be without dilemma...lol The dilemma this time.....how do I sell them when they are just so perfectly prim & prairie and especially when I DON'T have a set like that in my collection??? Well the four pair quickly went down to three, then two...then one.....oops!!!..(be strong lassie and put at least one pair back)... aaaagggghhhhhh ........back to two again, but very reluctantly!!...lol I decided to keep these two pair (youno coz I truley-ruley need them) Anyways I have today popped the remaining two pair up on my Little House ...

  It's only taken me 4 years to get my act together ...(can't rush these things can you)...but I'm back! Lots of  life's highs and lows over the past few years... wont get into the nitty-gritty as you guys don't want to hear about that ....but for most part... my absence has been due to returning to full time work. I am loving the extra $$$ ...but sadly I've found myself very time poor. If you read back through my last post from April 2013... 😲... you will see that when I last left off I was most excited to have welcomed my new little niece (no name at that stage). I'm pleased to say that she now has a name....Sienna Rose to be exact. At first her big sister Charlotte wasn't to sure about the new addition to the fam-bam but skip to 4 years later and she is now her much loved (and I'm told very annoying) little sister. Sienna is now in fact a big sister herself to little brother Noah....he's three! (they're all just waaay to cute a...
