Views from the weekend

Saturday morning in St Ives, monthly farmers market, coffee on the quayside

Love this duck's hair do!

grey skies forced us home, but actually the rain held off

The garden is still in bloom......

We chopped and stacked wood, cleared some of the veg garden, cleaned windows, in fact a very productive weekend.

There was still time for some knitting on Sunday afternoon

Roll Up cardigan

Last of the beans and some (finally) red tomatoes

I also popped into the WI craft group taster morning on Saturday. They have a craft group every Monday afternoon, and you don't need to be a WI member to attend (not sure its for me). So I have been along today, 3 newbies so I didn't feel like Billy no mates, they were all very friendly plus it turned out I knew 3 people there anyway.  So another knitting/craft outlet for me to attend in the village.

Right, off now to have a mole removed, wish me luck!!

Signs of spring

After weeks of mild weather we awoke to a bright and frosty morning

The bulbs are emerging. The aconites have been out for a couple of weeks now, their bright little heads a welcome sight in the past dreary days

Flame berries in the seed pods of the iris.  I love how they are decomposing, leaving a casing of chiffon

I have the day to myself. No plans. I have put a wash on. Waiting in for a parcel to be redelivered.  My cold is progressing, more irritating than anything.  Funnily, 35 years ago, on the eve of our wedding, I had a really bad cold, feeling rough, not that it marred the big day.  35 years - Coral or Jade depending on whether you are traditional or modern.  We won't bother with either on Sunday, just a nice lunch out, time to ourselves to reminisce.

Hubby just sent a text - puncture on the M11 southbound, not a good start to his day.

Judy, hope you are feeling better today - she has a cold virus too.

Also - I'm wondering about starting a knitting/craft group in my garden room.  My worries, that no one would come.  Should I do it?  How often should it run?
