Just the last of my pics now,as I waited to see if Cinderella and I ,had taken the same..but only one it seems,and it was much better than mine .:o)
as it was The Centenary year,of the show,they have done a birthday display..
This lovely man,who was staying at our hotel,makes all these lovely painted wooden jigsaws for children…so this was the only thing I bought ! you will see Thomas is much too busy on his slide,he had for his birthday,so it has been put away for Ch…….S ! sorry to mention this last word..:o)
Hope you have enjoyed the rest of the show..

Great photos Sandra, you seem to have seen a few things that I didnt. Picture 1, and the daffs I saw, weren't they beautiful. The jigsaws are great, I'm sure Thomas will love it. He is such a cutie.

Glad you enjoyed the rest of them,6d.I loved everything there,but couldn't have possibly taken anymore..memory card was getting full !Thomas loves his slide..just came at the right time,weatherwise..:o)
Thanks Cinders,they were beautiful.I had a lot more time there than you,which is a shame when you had all that way to travel.we bought him another very easy jigsaw,for Easter,but not from there..and a small packet of mini Smartie eggs .:o) oh,and Russell bought some play sand from B& Q ,when he went on Monday..he has had a sand pit given by a neighbour..lucky little boy :o)
Thanks Grandmage,I loved the Narcissus,and they did smell lovely too...Full of beans is the right phrase..he has just started walking!I had forgotten how back breaking it is,bending down clasping a little hand,,but lovely :o)
Thanks Amy.It was wonderful,and such nice weather..I might even give the Autumn one some thought,if we haven't anything planned..:o)

Amazing :):):) You can guess what tickled my fancy a lot in the pics :):):)

Another set of lovely pictures from Harrogate I love that stream and all the beautiful Spring Daffs, the Autumn show sounds an interesting idea drop the hint casually when we next meet up lol Thomas is looking a very happy little fellow and walking too, that will really keep you busy, those jig saws are so bright and colourful Thomas will love it [which one did you get him?]
21 Apr, 2011
Lovely photos, especially no.7, with all the Spring flowers and those jigsaws are great. Thomas is lovely as ever! : o ))

Thanks Annella,a lovely day out..:o)
Thank you,and yes I do Paul..grass is very tickly,isn't it ? lol.
Thanks Carole,I loved the little stream too,and especially with the Acers around it.Ok,I will casually bring it into the conversation,when we meet up.We are going to a park near you tomorrow,called Daisy Nook..looks nice.The family are going earlier as they are taking a picnic..we are going to OUR pub,for a nice lunch first:o) We have earned it this week,I think..Lol We bought him a Tractor ,Carole.its only a small one.More of a stocking filler really..:o)
Thanks Shirley,I like that one too..I had to scroll back and count to 7.:o)
We spent ages looking at all the jigsaws,they were so well done.It was hard to decide..Thomas seems to change every time we see him..His mum was taking him with her to the Dentist today..don't know if he would let him look at the only four he has Lol.When we say",show me your teeth" he opens his mouth really wide..what's betting it stayed shut today !:o))

What lovely photos - especially your little cherub - he has a great impish face - really happy with what he was doing.
21 Apr, 2011
Thanks for showing some more pictures of the show. It must have been very enjoyable to go there, and nice to be able to share it with us who didn't go :o)
22 Apr, 2011
Thank you Mariek,he has just been round this morning,and we toddled round the garden together..lovely ! he soon found the watering can to dabble his hands in,and loved feling the Chives.Lol.At least I know he could eat them safely .:o)
Thanks Hywel,glad you enjoyed them.You don't need to visit really,,as you can see most of them on here for free,without the hassle of travelling,either .:o))

Lovely photos Bloomer thanks! looks like the show was very busy!
22 Apr, 2011
Thank you,Helenium,It attracts a lot of people over the four days..The next big show there,will be the Great Yorkshire Show,which is very good too,but a lot bigger.A lot of agricultural things,and different species of cattle and sheep,Show jumping ,craft stalls etc..We used to go a lot,its a good day out.

Lovely set of pics Bloomer, the last one is extra special!!!
I still have toys here from when my grandchildren were babes, spent many a happy hour in the sand and paddling pool, miss those days actually, its all nintendos and wii games now, all indoors, have to force them outside for fresh air, mind you they can still wrap me around their fingers, even when taking the micky out of nannie,lol.....
22 Apr, 2011
Thank you,Lincslass,he is very special to us..we have all been to a park today,along with his other Grandparents..a lovely family day out..another lovely memory to cherish,along with pics..I can see how you miss these days with your grandchildren too..but nice they still want to be with you,that's the important bit :o)

Great Yorkshire show sounds brilliant Bloomer, certainly lots to see! Do they have competions like Harogate at that one too? Are there plenty of nurseries there for plant sales? Sorry questions, questions, questions!lol!
23 Apr, 2011
lovely pictures sandra and clever man making them jigsaws, thomas will love his im sure :o)
23 Apr, 2011
Its a long time since we went,Helenium,but I think there are nurseries etc..not sure about competitions,as with a small daughter in tow,we were mostly where the animals were ! If you Google'Great Yorkshire Show'I'm sure there will be lots of info there.
Thanks San,he is talented..he paints them as well.so,there you go..another side line for you..Baz could make them,you could paint them ! Lol.
