Soon its over
How can 4 days go so fast? The Easter holiday has just a few hours left, then sleep and back to work. What did you do with your weekend?
After a leisurely Saturday afternoon (for me) - Peter had cut the grass leaving me feeling somewhat guilty with my knitting - it was all systems go on Sunday. Wrapped up warm we ventured out, hedges were trimmed - Peter cut, I cleared, a good job was done. The garden looks heaps better already, and just leaves the borders to be tidied and edged. We even saw the sun for a bit too.
Today - Monday we met Rachel and Stu in town for coffee prior to Rachel's departure for New Zealand, she's off to meet up with her friend Claire, I hope they have a wonderful time. Its had been cold and grey here until around 5pm when all of a sudden the sun came out - better late than never. Whilst having dinner we decided that we couldn't let the day come to an end without going out into the sunshine, so armed with my camera we hit the lakes walk. I just love the sunset over the lakes
I got the Baktus Scarf finished today, its warm and cosy I wore it on our walk.
So there you have it, our Easter. By the way, the cake was a bit dry at the edge, not such a good idea cooking it in a square tin without adjusting the cooking time, oh well never mind you live and learn

On our doorstep
We are lucky to have some lovely walks around the Cambridgeshire village where we live. Just a 10 minute walk takes us to the lakes and river. The lakes were formed a while ago from old gravel extraction workings. They have in recent years been taken over by the RSPB, who are working hard to make this an enjoyable place to visit, being serviced as they are by the guided busway.
As the weather was beautifully sunny yesterday we decided to wrap up and venture out. As you can see it was lovely and clear, I'm glad I took my camera.

Centre photo is a bug hotel!
Here is my latest creation. Tartan Teddy for Mel. Hope you like him.
Knitted in a day, it took me nearly another to put him together.
Pleased with the end result though
