(how we miss you, golden sunshine) We headed over the Whitstable late on Saturday morning as I wanted to go to Seaside Sadie’s for another bag of buttons and pao wanted to drop a machine off for his friend. Saturday was the only day of the long weekend where we saw the sunshine. Seaside Sadie’s [...]
We often drive through this tiny village on our way to work most days and I asked pao to stop so we could have a drink one Sunday evening and I could see the other side of the river we cross (we don’t go home that way). We were a bit tired and wanted to [...]
It has been raining on and off since Sunday but last night’s storm was so severe that it work me up! The lightning seemed to be so close that I contemplated moving away from the window – just in case. Ophelia came in for cuddles throughout the storm but I’m now bleary eyed and not [...]
I started off some vegetable seeds last week as we really like our fresh veggies and we’ve now had our first signs of life. I’ve sown pumpkins, peas, french beans, runner beans and baby cabbage. The Bank Holiday rain does mean that the ground will be a lot more workable over the next few days [...]
It’s Bank Holiday Monday and pouring with rain so we’re hunkering down with tea and toast. I’m on a bit of a photo catch up at the moment as I have a few that I’ve not posted yet from those sunny days in early May which seem like a distant memory now. We visited Hythe [...]

A week or so back, I went on a long long set of train rides to Wolverhampton (photos very soon) and started on a pair of plain socks in some Maizy Chris sent me. I knitted on the train from Canterbury, met my colleague in London then proceeded to knit on the train to Wolverhampton. [...]
We headed over to Herne Bay on Sunday evening to get a breath of fresh air and some Italian ice cream. We only stayed a few minutes as it was freezing cold and the coffee lounge was shut but we were able to be home for Dr Who. I took some of these photos a [...]
The village WI had a plant and cake sale on Saturday so we couldn’t resist slipping over and having a look. After last year’s experience, we were over there just before the 10am opening as the plants fairly fly off the tables – e.g. they are usually sold out by 10.30. We were looking for [...]
Ariel had a whole load more blood tests and her thyroid condition is much better. She is borderline diabetic and has kidney problems but these are improved with the special food she is on. It turns out that her refusal to eat is due to cystitis so she has several tablets to take each day. [...]
