I seem to have bloggers block, that and a frantic nesting and knitting and ipad-ing habit 🙂 We’ve been busy though, and mostly happy, though I am finding it harder and harder to maintain any sort of sanity in the face of impending birth of baby. Still, with a maximum of 5 weeks to go […]
Finished it Friday: Knitted Scarf
I’ve gone from not quite knowing what to faff about at with knitting (and being deeply engrossed in a book series) to suddenly having lots of things that need knitting and not much time to do it in! Having concluded that my inability to make up cardigans rather inhibits clothes making, I went back to […]
Allotment Update
You are only allowed to look if you promise not to mention the weeds 😆 We’ve just not managed to get there enough this year; too many unfortunate – and fortunate – events and emotional stresses, lack of car, being poorly. Still. What went in had variable success and we learned lots for this Autumn […]
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. We’ve been various children down at various points of the week this week so the dimensions of life have been quite different. […]
Not so much other than ordinary
In the almost total absence of a home internet access this week, we’ve done other stuff. The allotment was in sore need of some work, so we’ve done that. The little girls have weeded and watered and stone collected, so our beds are better next year and we’ll have paths to walk on that get […]
Garden and Allotment Updates
Claire and Charlie bought this (and it’s pair) after Freddie died last year. Claire, it is just so beautiful this year 🙂 I just love these two. The garden is nice at the moment, in a slightly wild and a bit too purple and blue sort of way. But these two just make me shiver […]
Allotment Watch
You can’t say fairer than seeing your first little shoots of stuff coming up 🙂 While the garden is fairly bursting with veggie life, the allotment is (understandably) behind it but these onions were only put in over the Royal Wedding Weekend and shoots were really exciting to see. There was also a garlic shoot […]
Blanket Watch
The sanity blanket is nearing completion. It was 8 squares left and then I decided it wanted it to be 7×7 so now it is back to being 9. I really want this done now; I want it finished by the end of May, so I am knitting MADLY. Argh. I think it is good […]
The Gallery: April
As things go, the Gallery provided too many opportunities for reflection this month. Too many I couldn’t walk past: they felt like a summons. But April hasn’t been a sad month, after all, it has been a happy month, one that has helped me see how lucky I am, even if it takes a certain […]
Garden & Allotment Stuff
This last week or so has been a flurry of visitors, visiting and being places. The bank holidays – and with them the end of April and the passing of all ‘those’ dates have flown by. I think they are not really the same for us, given in the Spring and Summer we can please […]
