Bee happy ..... bee lucky!

Hope you all had a great Easter break. 

I won a giveaway yesterday, some cool crochet bits and pieces, so pleased! Check out Lynda's blog, it's so cool.


I also went to the annual local duck race yesterday that ran through the village, the local cricket club organises it every year to raise funds.

Husband and I named a couple of ducks but number 15 Bee happy duck didn't win :(




After the duck race we had been invited to a charity garden party at a friends house over the road.  We bought raffle tickets on the way in and then forgot about the draw until one of my numbers came up!


I had a good look at the table of prizes and finally decided upon the bottle of Mumm champagne with 2 glasses :)



I also got the chance to hold 2 little boy puppies who are 2 weeks old :) they are so cute!
these little fellows are actually one of my dogs half brothers so we will be able to go and check on them often :)


Something different but had to share. We came out to the car over the weekend and found some bird poo on the windscreen.  Is it me or is it a skull?


And finally, on Saturday there was a huge thunder and lightening storm here and it also hailed.  Not sure how many of you had this but the hail was huge! We had taken shelter in the summer house so I sent husband out in it to get some for me to photograph :)


Hope you all have a great 3 day week!

Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!

  3. We had thunder and lightening but no hail stones - as my daughter used to call it henstucking instead of hailstoning. Cute. Puppies are adorable.

  9. Congrats on winning a giveaway! I remembered one time i had the same duck race in Singapore, we did the same thing but yes i didnt win either but it was fun! But you're so lucky to win the raffle draw, enjoy the champagne!! i do see the poop looks like a skull, did you see the bird? or was it an evil bird? hehehe we're fortunate enough not to get the hail and thunder here but boy oh boy the wind is fierce here! Thanks for entering the giveaway! really appreciate it! xoxo

Its on the 3rd September at Thorpe Hesley Communitry centre (next to the church) near Rotherham. I'll let you know the start time as soon as I know. x

  19. Brill - the champagne will come in handy Friday. That skull bird poo is spooky! How are you going to resist buying those puppies? They are too, too sweet for words.
