We are back from a recent visit to the family in France. As usual it was a busy 11 days, the weather was glorious apart from one day, so no complaints there. We achieved lots outside, but then there is a lot of outside to deal with. Went brocanting in the rain. A Garden show in Le Mans. The boys and men went truck racing at the race track.
I finished the socks
Helped wallpaper in the Garden Room
Monty learned to swim
Our lovely boys
A selection of Rebecca's dahlias
Cast on another pair of socks
I've cleaned up a brass fender and 2 sets of old taps - I should have taken photos, cooked, cleaned and generally been kept busy. Most importantly enjoyed being able to help.
We got back on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday was my monthly flower club. I'm really happy with my arrangement
and with the leftover chrysanthemums I created this arrangement when I got home, with foliage from the garden
Sock progress
Jess and I made a start on this years Christmas cake on Saturday, she loves to bake, we made biscuits too
This weeks Farmers market haul
Little Gus who would eat cereal all day if you let him!
Tomorrow is the dentist and then a relatively quiet week, though I'm sure we will find something to make the week whizz by...... gardening, walking, ironing, shopping, knitting, see lots to do
It looks like you've had a great few weeks! I can't believe how big your grandchildren are now, especially Jess. And I agree about time. It does seem to zoom by at an ever increasing rate.
ReplyDeleteFlowers, grands, baking, Socks(!), baby darlings outfit and all the rest is simply wonderful. Jess sure is getting quite grown up. And yes, I spotted a favorite vest.
ReplyDeleteYour socks came out perfect. Are you addicted, yet? You have been quite busy. The grandchildren seem to of sprouted up. Don't you just hate how time creeps by and their not little anymore? Ido enjoy all the stages they go thru. Like the doll's outfit. take good care!
