I'm glad I spent it with you.
Just a perfect day, you made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else, someone good.
( Lou Reed 1942 - 2013 )
Eco Ethel was born a year ago... I have a secret to reveal.
My name is not really Ethel but once I tie my pinny and wiggle my nose
(like Samantha in 'Bewitched') I become her.
I worked out that a couple of hours a day blogging is
one sixth of my life so I am one sixth Ethel.
I hope you will forgive the deception as she's much more fun than me.
Now, I must get back on my horse...
and bite the bit.
I must whip up a storm before I'm snowed under...
...as we have another market soon and then a 3 day spectacular,
what was I thinking???
I have tins to clean, boats to row...
wood to glue...
and caravans to renovate.
The girls are happy now...
they're plotting a wild weekend away.
I need to...
and
because...
or snow...
but what ever the weather...
...blog buddies.
Thank you for a whole year of support, encouragement and silliness.
Happy first birthday, Ethel...but remember your body is 59 now.
Crafty ways make birthdays.
EE xx
"Happy burfday to yoooo. Happy burfday to yoooo....

Most recognised song in the English language...
Followed by...'For He's a Golly Good Fellow'.
Nice to see ALL the young ladies, smartened up,
and looking the business! Can't you do summat
about the one with the hole in the head!
Though my favourite is the one with the black hair.
"I used to go out with a girl, with hair all down her
back..None on her head...Just down her back....! :).
I see you've left me a song....'The sun will come out
tomorrow......' etc...

I missed your birthday Ethel. I'd say I hope you're still partying but three weeks of living it is maybe too much, even for such a jolly soul as you. May your future bloggy birthdays be abundant m'dear :)
ReplyDeleteOops, that should say, living it up.
