quiet

this week has been quiet on here, and the snow again has made the world outside quiet, but lots going on : ) Some of it is positive, but some is much more difficult, I think I have mentioned in the recent past that we have not got Edward into our secondary school of choice, […]

er, well quite a descriptive factual title for a change, but you know, it is spot on! Now considering the previous day I had been out from 4am to 8.45pm (more of that in the next few days!), I was really quite composed and organised! Not like last year! After last years rip-off of £15 […]

as you may have seen in posts throughout the years, we have quite a reasonable sized garden with a crazy hill in it, the crazy hill puts me off the whole garden, which is a shame, maybe next year…………… The one redeeming feature about the hill are the four trees which grow on it, three […]

they feel funny, like a bit shiny, polished even. I don’t know if other wet felters get this, but I guess after spending three hours yesterday felting, and another three today it is understandable that something odd might happen to the palms of my hands! Well a week off now : ) Today was really […]
