I'm not always full of sunshine, but I do try my best!!<br /><br />Belle - thank you, and thank you for the dietary advice. I must buy a copy of that book about Blood groups. I'm sure it will be really helpful to me. Hugs.<br /><br />Gawgus - yes, I sneaked them when you weren't looking! Hee Hee!!<br /><br />Kristina - yes, we did have a lovely evening, thank you. <br /><br />Grammy Goodwill - yes, as you say, good job my daughter took the little cakes away from me, or I would have eaten a lot more. Hee Hee! The circular firework is called a Catherine Wheel. It's not on steel wool, although that would probably work!! Just a firework that is made in a sort of swirl effect and it whizzes around very fast!<br /><br />Orchid - I'm glad you enjoyed the photos of our little Halloween party my dear friend. Halloween is very much an American thing really. It has only taken off here in England over the past few years. Now it seems to be getting bigger and bigger each year! <br /><br />Retired English Teacher - yes, the mist rolling across the fields is just so beautiful. I just had to take a photo, although it doesn't really capture it well enough. Family is so important, isn't it? <br /><br />Duncan - yes, my daughter (well, both of them really) is so caring towards me, and the little cakes cheered me up no end!!<br /><br />Melvin - thank you for popping across and leaving a comment. I've been listening to your version of Unchained Melody as I've been checking on my blogs! Lovely.<br /><br />Chatty - hi there. Yes, as you could see, we do celebrate Halloween over here, but as I said to Orchid, no where near as much as you do over in America. It's only got really big here in the past few years.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-15006313217749905352011-11-02T19:27:21.233+00:002011-11-02T19:27:21.233+00:00Alright then - you do celebrate over there in Engl...Alright then - you do celebrate over there in England - Cute pictures.<br /><br />Looked like every one was so happy.<br /><br />sandieChatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-50776463924435195062011-11-02T14:12:31.639+00:002011-11-02T14:12:31.639+00:00Hello Diane, thank you for following my blog.

If I do I get very weak and tired. I follow the book, Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type. It has helped me a lot. I do miss chocolate, which makes my fibromyalgia very bad. I can't eat anything packaged with preservatives either. I felt deprived at first, but after feeling so much better I am used to it and don't mind too much.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-69988072014881558312011-11-01T18:09:10.358+00:002011-11-01T18:09:10.358+00:00i can't imagine waking up to such a gorgeous s...i can't imagine waking up to such a gorgeous scene...so, so beautiful. your party looks like such fun! and i'm glad your sweet daughter made you those cakes:) you are such a sunny spirit it's infectious:)vintchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712981340712876360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-3379692444290647402011-11-01T17:37:47.521+00:002011-11-01T17:37:47.521+00:00Hi Diane, I'm glad to hear you finally got som...Hi Diane, I'm glad to hear you finally got some nice weather over there.
