Welcome

Hi there, I'm Ali and brand new to this blogging thingy so not sure how things work. I decided to start a blog because a very good friend of mine kept saying I should have one, told me it's easy, so here goes.







I have decided to call it Blossom and Grow because over the last few years that's exactly how I feel my life has been. Maybe i'm a late developer. You're never too old to try new
things and life definitely starts at 40 something.

OFF TO SUNNY SPAIN

Well its Friday 26th August start of the bank holiday weekend. I've packed and ready for an early start on Sunday we fly to spain at 6.20 am ready for a week in the sun. Hoping to do some crafting aswell as sunbathing and visiting friends. Then will be charged up ready for a new month of September which I know is going to be busy with theatre tickets to WE WILL ROCK YOU and hopefully a trip to wembley to see Ant and Dec's new show. Also my friend and I have started a new shop on facebook called Ruby'sTreasure which is in its infancy. Go over and take a look. We will be making more gorgeous lovelies to sell and maybe even a craft fair on the horizon. Well best get on ADIOS AMIGOS xx

Me singing with the singlive family 2011
 My family and I went up to northumberland as I had been invited to sing with my choir as the HOGWARTS CHOIR in ALNWICK CASTLE where HARRY POTTER was filmed. Had an absolutely lovely time.

After Hogwarts we had a concert at the Liverpool Philimonic Hall called ' Magical Musicals' 

Another brilliant night singing with all my pals.
Unfortunately I lost my voice for about three weeks and couldn't sing along to Take That at their tour Progress at Manchester City ground on the 7th June 2011 but still had an amazing night.

My boys altogether again

24th JUNE

Holiday in Tenerife for a week to end a brilliant month.



My Lovely Family on our last night.

 JULY brought a lot of RAIN with it and my fundraising for the MS SOCIETY was nearly a complete washout but we had a GREAT DAY hubby played football against Radio Merseyside and we raised over £1200 so imagine if we had had sunshine.

BUT I had a very SUNNY DAY at the X FACTOR AUDITIONS as I HUGGED GARY BARLOW yes you heard correctly I HUGGED GARY BARLOW. AHHHHH! and still havent recovered.

My little girl has left primary school and im feeling where has the years gone.

3rd AUGUST
This month has started very well as its my 15th wedding anniversary today. I received lovely cards and a beautiful watch from my hubby. Its crystal for 15 yrs so he got one with little diamonds (not real ones) along the side and inside the watch well I dont think they are. I've had a lovely day out at Speke Hall and then a meal at the Bromborough Hotel.  

Well hope you enjoyed my news as much as I did remembering the lovely times I have had. I am sure I have more to come as its my birthday next week and then off to Spain end of August.
