Wow I can't believe I'm at 700,000 downloads already. Thanks everyone!

Now it's time to party!

 

Kareef

Posted On Aug 01, 2008 | 5 Comments

Here's some pictures of the changes in the landscape in the mountains since the Kareef (monsoon) has arrived. Everything is so green, it was like we were driving through a different country as the rest of the countryside in the valleys is just sand and baked earth. Enjoy.















Last but not least I thought I'd include a picture of the mountains where the kareef hasn't reached, just so you can see the vast difference in the landscape.

Thanks to everyone who's downloaded my stuff, you've helped me reach the 600 thousand downloads mark.

I'm really happy and think you should all give yourselves a big pat on the back as I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all the wonderful support I've had from my friends and everyone here at TSR!

Thank you!

 

It's here!

The Kareef (monsoon) has finally come, after weeks of waiting and overcast days.

I opened my bedroom curtains this morning to see fine drizzly rain and everything soaked, it's a bit like being back in the UK but without all the green. I wonder how long it'll be before everything is green?

I'll post some pictures when the vegetation has grown, can't wait to see the difference in the landscape.

 

A view of Oman

Here a few pictures of the local wildlife and landscape in my little corner of Oman. I've been told that when it's monsoon season (Kareef) this whole landscape is transformed into a green oasis, hard to imagine I know.






Sam's beach.



Finally one of my neighbours.

 

Our House!

I've been promising a few people that I would post some pictures of our new house in the Oman. I thought all the pictures we had were on our PC, which is still sailing it's way here, anyway to cut a long story short...I found some on the laptop, so here they are. Hope you enjoy them.

Front of the house.



Back of the house.



View of the compound that our house is in.



The pool.



I know it all looks very green, a gardener comes every other day and waters everything all day long so it stays lovely and green, when you drive out of the front gates it's a different story, all baked earth, sand and no grass.

 

SAM 12 Aug 2001 - 22 March 2008

Posted On Mar 26, 2008 | 6 Comments

We all finally arrived safe and sound at our new house in Salalah in the Sultanate of Oman. We had two really good days settling into our new home, Sam had a great time chasing the feral cats that live on the compound and exploring his new surroundings. Then on the 21st March tragedy struck. We went up to the roof terrace to have a look, Martin opened the door and Sam pushed past him with a wild look in his eyes, he ran across the roof and jumped the wall, he fell two storeys onto the concrete below.

He broke both his front legs and he couldn't stand on his back legs, it was confirmed by x-rays on the 22nd March that he had broken his back, the vet gave him a 2% chance of recovering as he had some feeling in his back legs and sometimes he moved his tail and back legs, but she said if he did recover he wouldn't be able to run and jump which is pretty much all Sam did. He was such a lively bouncy dog, always running around and jumping around that we decided it wasn't fair to put him through that so we asked the vet to put him to sleep.

We found a lovely quiet beach cove near where we live and buried Sam on a hill overlooking the sea. He was my best friend and my constant companion. I am totally heartbroken. The house is so empty without him, I miss him dearly and I am so thankful for the wonderful six and a half years that I had with him.

R.I.P Sam my angel, you will always be in our hearts.

 

Bye for now!

The time for me to pack up my computer is rapidly approaching, I have so much to do & so little time left to do it so I won't be around very much between now & next week. After next week it will be toward the end of March when I will(hopefully) be back.

Thanks to everyone for downloading my creations, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you all.

I've also had a lot of support & made a lot of friends since I had the good fortune to stumble across this site a year ago & I will miss all of you especially (and in no particular order) DragonessGirl, milanokat, sesame, walkerboh rumour, Valgrida, cariadbach, gvisn, hiedibear75, drewsoltesz & ameldacousins. Thanks you guys, you've made my visits here enjoyable.

See you all later

 

I'm so excited.

Not only is it my birthday on the 5th but yesterday my flights to the Oman were confirmed as well. I will be jetting off to my new life in the sun on the 17th March, I can't wait.

PANIC!!! I only have 3 weeks left to pack up the rest of my house, my hubby is leaving 2 weeks before me so we have to hand our house over at the end of Feburary, then Sam & I will be moving in with my parents for a couple of weeks.

I don't think I'll be doing many more creations (if any) between now & when I move, we will see.

 

Woohoo

My problem is solved, it looks like I picked up a bad cookie in my browser, anyway it's all cleared so it's buisiness as usual for a while at least.

Have fun
