It was interesting to see what kinds of conditions that the travellers found when they arrived. A very simple table. There was a sign on the wall saying that some original copper [...]

I didn’t have a lot of time to create this week so my Making Monday post is very short! We had a public holiday today so it was nice to spend another day with pao just hanging out and watching the end of Alias (btw, we thought one of the doctors looked like Chris – [...]

We managed a very brief trip to Rochester a few weeks back and found ourselves a rather nice cup of tea at the Deaf Cat Cafe and a lovely ramble through the streets. There is even a lovely quilting shop in the High Street which is rather nice to look at. Doesn’t pao look at [...]

Death without Tenure by Joanne Dobson This is the latest of the Karen Pelletier mysteries set in Enfield College. I’ve been reading them on and off for [...]

I’m completely in the throes of making a large amount of stock for the upcoming Canterbury Eurofair. It is a massive event and hopefully there will be lots of new people to meet. I have heaps to do before then so I’m rationing my time as much as I can but I do have making [...]
