Hi everyone sorry I haven’t been on the blog much . My family and I feel like the weeks have went in so fast.
I thought I would put a few photo’s up with some of the thing’s I have been keeping busy with. All very positive stuff –
We had my brother’s 19th Birthday on Easter sunday so we made him a Cadburys caramel cheese cake (he prefers more than cake) , we put the candles back to front so it read 91 rather than 19 because sometimes he acts like an old man . We also had our easter egg hunt in which my two brothers actually joined in ( well they wouldn’t have got their easter eggs if they hadn’t ) . We had alot of fun and way too much chocolate (not really 🤣) .
We have had some lovely weather , there was one day in perticular which was exceptionally hot , I decided to build a den to keep my dog’s Oreo and Porridge a bit more on the cool side . I would say they quite liked my efforts .
On many of our exercise walks we came accross some stunning nature . We saw a Beuatiful butterfly sitting in the middle of the road , it had been hurt How ever it was still able to move quite freely , we lifted the wee thing , sat it on a flower to give it more of a chance , as you can see in the photo it’s body got a bit of a bang 😢 On another walk we seen alot of baby bunnies , very small and cute . Another walk my Mum was ecstatic as she was able to photograph the stunning Sun Dog /Sun Halo . The photo does not give it’s full beauty. The colours where so vibrant , it just looked breath taking . I also found a tiny jumping spider , it almost looks robotic when it moves .
I decided to make some healthy dog treats for my dog’s Oreo and Porridge , human’s could also eat them because of the natural product’s used. The recipe makes a lot so my dogs will have goodies for ages . They both love them and would probably eat them all if they had the chance.
My Mum and I decided we needed a nice sweet treat , we had a look at what ingredients we had in the cupboard with what we found We were able to make the most delicious hot fudge chocolate cake , like our dog’s we could have easily ate all the cake , that would have been greedy and we are sure our tummys would not have been happy after 😅
My mum love’s photography so any chance she can get to take photo’s she will , especially the night sky . The moon and venus have been playing along side each other over a period of nights , my mum said that it’s a very stunning sight to see . The sky was very clear so everything was noticeable , bright and identifiable if you had looked up .

Merissa thank you for your blog, I really enjoyed reading what you have all been up to. Happy belated birthday to your big brother, hope he had a good day – his cheesecake looks amazing.
You have some stunning photos there, lovely you’ve been able to get outside plenty and spot lots of wildlife.
Great to hear from you Merissa. Mum takes a great photo – tricky to get clear night shots Mum – I’ll be looking for a lesson from you when we get back to school.
A well written post Merissa – I noticed your great vocabulary choices!

Wow you have been busy Merissa, great to hear from you! Your baking looks lovely, maybe you could post the recipes for the keen Holywood bakers to try! Lovely to see you spending so much time outdoors, lets hope this nice weather lasts.
Lovely to hear from you Merissa. I like your wildlife photos – you did well to get a photo of the rabbit. It’s great to hear about what you have been up to. Did you know, there is supposed to be a meteor shower tonight? If it stays clear we might be able to see it.
wow you have been doing a lot. I like the names of your dogs can you tell me the recipe for the dog treats so I can make them for my dog?
Lovely to hear from you Merissa! It sounds like you have been very busy doing lots of interesting activities. I am missing bumping into you in Costa and the supermarket at the weekends! (We always seem to bump into each other when we are out and about at the weekends.)
