Before my mum passed away, she gave my dad strict instructions to water the plants in the bathroom. He's been religiously watering them & keeping them alive. They look so amazing he decided to take them to his new home, only to discover they are plastic! Can hear my mum chuckling

Expert driving skills 😎

I got stopped today by a woman who told me she loved my hair and the colour of it in the sunshine.

I've been in a good mood all day

Nothing better than a simple compliment with no expectations

Motivating my son to cycle up a very steep hill in this heat 😂

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

These poor delivery drivers and posties are roasting out in the heat.

I've stocked up the fridge with drinks and have been offering them out when they come to the door.

Love this version by Mitchell Ferguson ❤️

Electric feel ⚡

Strong start to a hot week 🔥 ☀️

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

My son went to the BMX park today.

I get an urgent phone call from him to come immediately with our first aid kit.

A small boy has gone over the handlebars and is bleeding quite badly.

My son cleaned and bandaged him up so nicely.

I'm very proud of him

Found my cat fast asleep in the sink trying to beat the heat 💞

Getting caught in the rain, sun, rain, wind, hail, sun, rain, hot, cold , rain, sun weather is making my hair very out of control 😂

My favourite photo of when my cat thought she was playing the starring role in Lion King

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

My dad got off the bus, then realised he'd left his bag on the bus

He started running down the road in hot pursuit

A man pulled up in a car, threw open the door & my dad jumped in.

They set off after the bus, caught it and my dad got his bag back

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

My dad reenacting the bus chase scene, much to the amusement of people waiting at the bus stop

Hair drying time in the sun 🌞

"Women and children first"

Despite chivalry on board the
#Titanic , men fare better than women in nearly all other maritime disasters

And it wasn't even on board the Titanic that these words were uttered for the first time either

Here's a photo of my stunning Victorian tiled path for those of you who are interested.

I absolutely love it so much 💕

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

My neighbour has just planted grass seed but doesn't have a hose pipe

I've decided to water their garden at the same time I water mine so they can have a lovely garden too

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

She's come back again this evening with a friend and they washed my front path for a fiver

I think they spent more time spraying each other 😂

Very adorable

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

My son gives the cats precisely 3 seconds to enter the house or lose out 🤣

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

If I'd said that the girl rode up on a giant tortoise with jets attached to its shell and offered to wash my car, I'd agree that the story seemed unfathomable to even comprehend that something like this could happen on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

[Antonia @flaminhaystacks]

A girl has just knocked on our door and asked to wash the car for a tenner.

She's been out asking people for 3 hours and I'm the first one to say yes.

She is saving up to buy a tortoise 🐢
