Hello everyone!

I can't wait to meet you all, but I am snuggled up in mum's tum at the moment.

Some of the Godwin Great grandchildren at halloween

Baby Owl came to visit & delivered a Wonderful suprise!

It was a gorgeous evening in spain and I was getting ready to go out for the evening. I had been missing mum, because it had seemed like ages since I had seen her with John & I in spain and Mum in Australia, which brough a tear to my eye.

I continued to get ready and heard an unusual bird noise, which I put down to the parrotts and love birds that had been on the palm trees in the garden, which brought a little smirk to my face. However this little noise was rather pesistant and I looked out the window to see a baby owl on the branch by my window she stared straight at me and chattered away. I felt a lovely warm feeling just like nan would make me feel, I called John in to meet the baby owl and she sung away to us both of us. I turned to John and said 'nan can always cheer me up'

A little while later when we were back from holiday we had a wonderful suprise ' we had been blessed with a baby robbins' as some of you know it was unlikely John and I would have children.. so we were very surprised!

Baby robbins is due on 1st May, which means the little baby owl delivered him. I was very sad that I could not share this with nan, but would love to think that nan ' the little baby owl ' gave us this special little gift and indeed she was the first one to know!

Happy 2nd Birthday Benjamin

Having a good day with Thomas the Tank Engine

Poor fishy!

Have you ever seen anyone clean the bones of a fish like this except for perhaps a cat! Dad always gets value for money.....

Back from Chicago.....

Hi everyone!

Anthony and I had a great time in Chicago, we should have got some top tips from Todd but didnt get round to it. Still I think we explored the city pretty well. If you fancy having a look at some pics from the fair I did click HERE

Silly pics!

Sorry, just thought I would share this with you all. We spend quite a lot of time putting things on the cat head which he tolerate very well.......
Here he is sporting a little sombrero.

Out with the old and in with the new !!!!!!

After seven years outstanding service Denise and I have had to "let it go" as they say, that is our trusty old Mondeo !!! I must admit that it still feels like brand new as far as I am concerned and as Merv would say "A second class ride is better than a first class walk" although he did refuse to get in it on the odd occasion !!!!



Also pictured are some new kittens that popped out of a cat we are looking after for the cats protection league. If anybody would like their children to see but not have a kitten you are more than welcome to come and have a stroke and leave us to clear up the mess !!!



By the way the car has been replaced but is too shy to have its picture taken at the moment.


Bye for now.......Diddle

Fraser Baptism

I've finally cracked it, hello to you all, I've just had a look through all the messages, i'll pass on the news to the sisters as they've not worked it out yet!
Fraser is getting Baptised in Eynham at St Leonards on the 22nd July at 10.45 would the cousins like to come, if so could you e-mail me emma.muir@talk21.comby Sunday 15th so i can let the church know for numbers, thanks Emma. PS 'keep on blogging!'

Oliver?

Does anyone remember that horrid dog that lived in one of the houses down the rookery? I think its name was Oliver. Well Amber you should remember cos we were chased by it once on our way back from the meadow. I remember I was very cross because as we started running from him you grabbed the back of my jumper and stopped me from running as fast as I wanted to to get away from him! We used to peep down the Rookery to see if he was down there. He had evil eyes!
Anna

Well, I seem to have discovered a solution to global warming. Forget bio fuels and electric cars, the answer is...homemade ginger beer!!
To be honest, it was only the first batch, but it was enough to blow your socks off. It tasted like homemade schnapps or something - pretty foul anyway. Nevertheless, I persevered and you'll be pleased to know that the second and third batches are delicious, although I'm at a point where I think I'm going to have to keep two plants going simultaneously because the 8 pints per fortnight just aren't enough!

Mitchell and Webb

Is anyone else a big fan of Mitchell and Webb? Just in case you haven't stumbled across it yet there' a new series of 'That Mitchell and Webb Sound' on Radio 4 (which is where it all began). If anyone wants a link to the listen again feature here it is: That Mitchell and Webb Sound Tee hee! Dawn x

Become a contributer..........you can sign in as yourself!!!

Hi All,

Dawn mentioned a while ago being able to sign in as yourself to post on the blog. I can sort this out. You will then be listed on the blog as a contributer. All I need to do is send you an invite to your email address. You will have to set up a Google account but this is very easy, infact the link will take you through the steps. Its just like setting up a hotmail account or other such things. If you want me to do that let me know (via email as I will need your email address) or if you are happy to carry on signing in as godwinhq then that is fine too! Please someone do it cos I want to see how it works!!!
