We got home from Bath this afternoon, after a few days there to celebrate my turning 50. It’s where I went for my 40th and I had such a good time (coupled with the fact that two of my old school friends lived there at the time, and one of them still does), that IContinue reading “I Feel Good!”

Friendship
We have a couple of dear friends who we see about once a year. We meet up in a different place each year, stay overnight somewhere, eat out, explore the local area and generally have a great time. A couple of years ago we went to Lichfield – which led to the cardigan of theContinue reading “Friendship”
Harvest Time
The past week has been so busy, and my intention of picking raspberries every couple of days has gone slightly sideways. The high winds today have done some other harvesting for us and there are quite a few windfalls on the grass waiting to be picked up tomorrow.

Keep On Keeping On
I have lots of stuff to tell you about, but it’s been quite a day and it’s late, so I will keep it short and show more than tell. First up, there’s a new pattern in the world! Small Acts is a pattern for a scarf AND a cowl. I even put lippy on forContinue reading “Keep On Keeping On”
And, breathe…
Last week I finished by promising to tell you about the spinning and baking I’ve been doing, as well as how the workshops went and all about next month’s knit-a-long! Let’s start with the workshops. It was probably the longest amount of time I had (a) been on my feet and (b) spoken for, inContinue reading “And, breathe…”
