I was at Fenwicks tonight for their Telegraph discount shopping evening as a 20% discount on the Swarovski Christmas Ornament is not to be sniffed at. I went on my own so pao’s ticket was surplus to requirements and I decided to give it to a couple who were milling about with the postcard which [...]
Hooray! I’ve finished Carola’s scarf today and it is drying as we speak. I hope she likes it. It is weird making something for someone you know nothing about but I liked the colours and enjoyed making it for her.

This little fuzzie is one of the nicest cats in the house. She has quite an intense stare and a deep vocal miaow but she has a lovely constant character. Phoebe’s only problem is that she has bad teeth and will need to go for a deep clean soon but not with the lovely Mr [...]
