Rest and Recuperation

As you can imagine we've been taking it slowly as John finds his feet again. He is finding that his 'battery' runs low quite quickly and it takes a while to recharge. He is also taking a trial drug which is giving him the occasional headache and shortness of breath. It's doing all the other…

A Week to Not Repeat

Not even a week really though it feels like it's all gone in slow motion. Remember my little Scarecrow for our Village Gathering last time? Well that morphed into this at 07.30 Wednesday 1st September. John came back from the dog walk not feeling too well. Thankfully we have good friends and a defibrillator in…

Augtember Hmmmm

Who would have ever thought August would slide into being an autumnal month! It's certainly been feeling that way with chilly, damp and grey mornings often with mist in the valleys and warmer, sunny afternoons. I don't think I've done the summer/winter wardrobe swap over for several years and months like this are exactly why.…

Half Past August

Bit of a catch up this week! First welcome to you if you have just joined me and come from Sandra's blog Wild Daffodil. Feel free to browse and join in! Question: do you wear an apron? Creative ones I mean, not the cooking type. I have several and have noticed once I put one…

The brain hasn’t really wanted to function on things that need working on like coursework so I’ve been in the shade with things that don’t take too…

Garden and Golf Steals June!

Well the weather has been spectacular at last! Summer arrived. What a strange year. I have peonies totally over and some just coming into tight bud. The same with the roses. You can almost hear the plants wondering if it's safe to get on with things now! Lots of time has been spent in the…

That’s May Done

I have put the goldwork Scarab into a frame and it looks rather good. When I get time I will rearrange the wall with all the other pieces on, it’s becoming quite a feature. I bought Elsa a lovely tapestry kit a few years ago for her to pick up when she actually had a…
