The Famous Jacket

I can only own up and say that it has taken so long to post these pictures as I have tried about 200 pictures and cannot take one that doesn't in some way look ridiculous so I have now thrown caution to the wind and gone with "over the top".

As for the jacket - well I have to be honest and say I am a bit proud of this.

Another sunny Saturday

What a great day this has been! In fact the whole month has been fabulous - sun shining, skies and blue, the birds are singing and the needles are clicking. Have left it too late in the day to take pictures so please check back tomorrow.

We saw the funniest thing - I was taking DS out on a job hunt (he is determined to find part time work although with his studies we have reservations, anyway...) when we saw a little chubby baby of about 6 months sitting in his car seat with little chubby feet and he kept looking down and grabbing his feet and then chuckling with delight as though he had never seen his toes before. Funny in itself but he did this 5 or 6 times and each time his reaction was the same - precious!

So tell me what made you smile today?

Hello folks!

Well it’s been far too long! Work just got in the way of real life recently but this is a potted version of life in our house over the last few weeks.

We’ve been making some headway in the garden. The landscaping at the bottom of the garden is complete and some of the pots are up and running. My little herb garden is coming on fine. I opted for oregano, lemon balm, rosemary and curly parsley and some Indian mint in a separate container to stop it taking over.

We went to the local distillery and bought a couple of half barrels which I fixed up and have planted salad leaves in. My first foray into growing food! I can’t wait.

On the knitting front the jacket is finished – still to photograph this though so bear with me. I’m working on my waving lace socks from Favorite Socks, using some gorgeous Old Maiden Aunt wool. I love making socks – so addictive and you can pick them up and put them down without much thought.


Loving getting life back on an even keel here this week, hope all is well where you are too.
