It is nearly time to start making this baby a blanket and I’m struggling for inspiration. Fran had one made from a pattern and the other girls used it too; after her I never managed to make ones for the others, so my Nana stepped into the breach. Freddie’s I made as a sampler while […]
Needing knitting project help.
Gifts from the heart, flowers from my past.
We’ve got a long way to go before having cut flowers in the house are an every day occurrence; I do get the occasional bunch of them from Max and the girls, which I appreciate enormously but it is a long standing joke here (and I suspect in plenty of homes) to immediately say “What […]

Anyway, you can tell something is seriously amiss with the world, because I made jam. This is quite possibly the most domestic thing I have done in about 10 years and not only that, […]
Silent Sunday
Taking it to extremes.
After rather pathetically realising my ‘stay at home’ status had become a little bit too literal in my last post, we’ve been out every day this week. Which has been some achievement actually.
