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.
