Time Flies At Yew Court

The other day I was thinking how time flies and that it has now been over 3 years since I moved to Yew Court from London.

I remember it was such a culture shock to me when I first moved here as I had lived in London for most of my life and I found it so different. It was different in a good way but it still took a lot of getting used.

When I was living in London I had suffered from back problems and used to see an Osteopath in London. So one of the first things I did when I moved here was to get on my computer and do a Google search for Osteopath Ipswich.

The thought of finding another Osteopath was a bit scary as I had been used to the same person for a long time. It was the same with finding a new Doctor and Dentist etc and trying to find people who I felt happy with.

Of course there were many wonderful new things that living at Yew Court brought me. Having a lovely selected garden was (and is) so unbelievably lovely and seeing all the garden birds and wild life in the garden. I used to have to keep pinching myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming!

One of the greatest pleasures for me and Richard is feeding wild garden birds and photographing them and simply just sitting in our lovely garden and watching their comical antics.

As for finding a new Osteopath in Ipswich - guess what, I never needed one in the end as my back has been so much better since living at Yew Court. Work that one out!

New Born Baby Dolls

Here at Yew Court there weather is rather chilly and the days are short. There is not much activity in the garden at this time of year although of course we are still feeding the wild bird and have recently been hanging up high energy fat balls for the smaller birds to eat.

It is too cold to be outdoors for long and one thing I love to do is to make web pages about different things I find interesting. My most recent web page has been about New Born Baby Dolls (or Reborn Baby Dolls).

Newborn Baby Dolls are not the same as ordinary toy dolls. They are usually painstakingly made by hand and can take approximately one week to make. Some are unique and one of a kind and can be "adopted" and given a birth certificate just like a real baby.

I find the subject very interesting. the dolls are amazingly realistic and lifelike. Some people find them weird or creepy but I think they are very cute, although I'm not sure I would like one myself.

But then again maybe I could be tempted..........
