School is over for another year so today we are going on our hollybags! Yay! We’re going up to visit my parents which will be lovely. I just hope the weather will hold. So far so good. I will be taking lots of knitting with me, namely my shamefully unfinished Uh-Ohs and my Ella Funt [...]

Today I am plotting. There is at least 2 different types of plotting happening today. I shall explain all! First type of plotting is Father’s Day. It is our first father’s day in a couple of weeks so wanted to organise something to ‘mark’ the day and, by jove, I think I’ve done it. I [...]

Bliss is … … sitting in my new chair with a hook and yarn, a cup of tea and being completely on my own. Hubby and babba were both sound asleep Yes, there are toys strewn everywhere and a hundred and one things that I could’ve been doing. But, do you know what? At that [...]
