This very bemused lady in a Bletchley Park uniform held my sock in progress for me. It is the first time I’ve knitted with Posh Yarn – if you’re interested it is Laura yarn in the Spangled colourway. Knitting did while away a large part of the 35 minutes or so we queued to get [...]
Just a small selection of the multitude of Aston Martin’s we saw on Monday. It was really quite an event. The silver one is the Vanquish V7 from the Bond film ‘Die Another Day’. I really liked the older ones better – I would have taken a whole load more photos and had to choose [...]
We’re having a week off but we’re busy doing lots of other things. One friend is having a bunion operation and needs a bit of looking after, another has asked us if we can help at a church event. As it almost turned out that Monday was the only day this week that we weren’t [...]
….otherwise known as the Earl Grey Socks…. I think he likes them In case you are wondering, the yarn is Regia Silk which was rather yummy to knit with. I’ve now limped into pair 5 of my Summer of Socks challenge and finished goal 18 for the Summer Knitting Goals and finished my WIP Wrestling [...]

What with all the busy-ness, I never actually got a chance to show you all the yarny goodness that lovely pao presented me with on my birthday over a month ago! This yarn is from All the Pretty Fibres – the colours are pretty amazing and it is all beautifully soft. A drop spindle kit [...]
One of the things that has kept me occupied over the last month or so is all done now so I have ever such a slight breather this week. I’ve even had a chance to sit still and have a luxury pedicure yesterday. My feet feel so dreamy. I have a bit of time for [...]
.. when we were all unmarried, three friends would often have a lot of fun.. Husbands, children, beloved house dwellers, post-university humdrum of work, houses, mortgages, and all that stuff came along and seemingly chased those fun days away.. Until two weeks last Wednesday.. We met, we boat tripped, we ate cream teas, we saw [...]
