Good Housekeeping -Garden Party ideas brilliant

Loving the ideas in the August edition of Good Housekeeping Magazine... so inviting and great colours and themes. 

Good Housekeeping good read...

One of our NYR team consultants made us aware of an review for the Frankincense Intense Hand Serum in the August copy of Good Housekeeping - so I got a copy of the magazine and well enjoying the read... some good articles, recipes and product reviews...I am going to target some articles to translate into Dutch for Boshra for my Family Link Up project. I usually translate the Dutch magazine Libelle into English so it will be fun to work the other way round as it were.... Nip over to my Marjorie's Yard blog to find out more about NYR products and order with me as my registered customer.... reason to do so loyalty goodies and extras as I care for my customers.... NYR handle your order and notify me of the order. My business is to care.  

Calm time in the Garden knitting

Been a quiet Sunday knitting day today. I have not been knitting for a while after the flurry of knitting last year and this spring.... so I decided I must continue making squares for a blanket from the scraps of wool left.  This will be for my Family Link Up project as no matter the hot days now there is a sign with nights drawing in that we will be back to winter months soon. So preparing for cold nights. 

Tuinieren in augustus - Libelle translations

Tuinieren in augustus: dit kun je nu doen

A very informative article for us keen gardeners in this months Libelle - the Belgium magazine I like both online and to buy the hardcopy when I am travelling to see Boshra in Belgium. Boshra is the mother of Leen and Celine from my Family Link Up project. The family are developing as polyglots with all the language exposure from their experience as refugees.  Enjoyed this afternoon google translating the Dutch and picking up on vocabulary.. also run some through in Arabic too...but in honesty Boshra is picking up the Dutch heel goed with the course she is on.... we are beginning to converse in some Dutch on Skype now as I reawaken my Dutch learning from the past. My first husband, Ian worked in Rotterdam so I learnt a little then.  I have yet to master the Flemish and differentiate but that will come as I too get exposed to more sounds of the language spoken. I am also enjoying being member of the Anglo/Belgian Society here in London so this will help too... and my French speaking needs refreshing...Busy lady! I love languages and should be fluent in French; German; Dutch; Arabic; Hindi and I do have some foundation in Sanskit when I spent time in Indian Ashrams. I love cracking the codes of languages and seeing words and meaning appear..... Hope you enjoy this post and the article link too. 

Funny how some words make you smile and seem to attract you to remember them.. schimmels is one for today for me.

Red Admiral Indulges in my Photography

I love my budlea for attracting butterflies I have had Peacocks; Painted Lady's; Small copper and today had this Red Admiral... which stayed close while I photographed him.... at one point he nearly got on my hand... so amazing. I am saying male but the way to tell is if the abdomen is slender its a male and if the abdomen thicker female...This one seems slim so maybe I am correct to call him a him...!! You can learn more from the Wild Life Trust  website.. and it is fun to spot the types..  

Red admiral

Description: Black with broad, red stripes on the hindwings and forewings, and white spots near the tips of the forewings.

Just been working on some translation of the description in Dutch and Arabic for my Family Link Up project... it helps me build on word recognition and vocabulary learning.
