With Ophelia hurting her leg and everything I’d forgotten to post photos of our day in St Albans. We drove up to Bletchley Park for our anniversary and then stayed overnight in St Albans so we could enjoy the market and explore charity shops before heading home again. These loaves looked very tempting but we [...]
and couldn’t find it or alternatively: The “Oh, no, my knitting is missing” or “Better turn the house upside down” Post. On Friday night last week when I got home, I opened my knitting bag to find the back of my Trapeze jacket was missing. No big deal I thought, I’d probably dropped it in [...]
We heard that pao’s cousin Nikki was dancing at the River Festival in Maidstone so early Saturday morning we decided to go over and see her dance. We walked past many many boats until we got to Whatman Park to see Nikki dancing. We figured it might be our last chance before she goes to [...]
These are the first french beans I have harvested. They are a lovely shade of purple which makes them easy to distinguish amongst the green leaves. They don’t stay purple when you cook them – they go green. I’ve been picking a small handful every day from the three containers of containing 12 plants in [...]
Well, ok, we do have a prisoner in Ophelia at the moment but I’m sure she is glad she isn’t in the Tower of London which was the destination of our riverside walk. The entrance was guarded by a beefeater. This archway is so pretty but who knows what horrors lie behind those windows. The [...]
Our hotel was very close to London Bridge so it was perfect for a walk up the Embankment. Our destination was the Tower of London and we saw some lovely sights on the way. I always enjoy being on holiday all the more when I think that I’m out free when loads of people are [...]
We were supposed to be taking Auntie H for her op in London last Thursday but just before the NHS cancelled it. We already had a hotel room in London booked and paid for so pao said we should just go anyway and have an explore. It was great fun. We were staying just near [...]
Ophelia has busted a ligament in her right hind leg so lots of healing thoughts would be appreciated. The vet gave her a shot tonight which he said would hurt a lot and she was absolutely fine with it. She’s in solitary confinement in the kitten pen so she can’t jump or run on it [...]
We stopped at Woburn Sands after we left Bletchley to call in at the Knitting Hut which I’d seen on the web and wondered what it was like. It was a great place Sue is a really nice lady. pao was offered somewhere to sit and something to read straight away. The knitted samples were [...]
We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a trip to Bletchley Park. pao really enjoys code-breaking stories and was really taken with the story of the code-breakers at Bletchley Park so it was nice to visit again and see him looking so happy. I love reading about the history of the place and seeing the exhibits [...]
