Weekend - the weather dictates

We have had an amazing weekend weather wise.  Wall to wall sunshine and around 15C, perfect for making a start on the garden.

I may never move again but feel very satisfied with what we achieved. Lots of garden rubbish, lots of moss, its a work in progress with a reward at the end





















Something for the weekend

Heard this song this morning.  Instant goose bumps, so I felt the need to share.

Have a lovely Sunday, its glorious here in Cambridgeshire today, the gardening beckons

Knitting - WIP Wednesday

Do you give up anything for Lent?  I am not a New Year resolutions or Lent type of person.  But whilst listening to the chat on the radio this morning, I decided that I could give something up for Lent this year.  I decided no more yarn to be bought for the next 6 weeks.  Should be easy, especially after last weeks haul

This week's WIP is the 2nd Ronnie jumper for Rufus

Here is the one I finished for Laurie.

Pattern - "Ronnie" from Patons Play Days Book
Yarn - Sirdar Snuggly



Edited Saturday - to include photos of Laurie in his sweater

Family - the weekend where nothing much got done, apart from some knitting

Its been a weekend of procrastination.

We went for a walk yesterday rather than work in the garden.  Made excuses rather than brave the cold wind today, so the bulbs didn't get put in, the borders didn't get tidy, the seeds didn't get planted.  We did however have grandchildren to play with and a special knitting request

Friday, I was up to Stamford to look after the boys, and a request for hats was put in

look who's getting curls












Saturday, we walked to St Ives, it was a lovely day, good to see the sun








Sunday, this afternoon the grandchildren came to visit enroute home from a weekend away, the boys to collect their hats and to meet Jessica,  Actually Rufus barely gave her a look, preferring to monopolise Pops. Laurie however was so keen for a cuddle





Hats for Book Week (can I have more notice next time please) - Rufus wouldn't pose today so this is the best I could do.






Jessica - cuddles with Pops once the boys had left......






and that was our weekend.  Hope you had an enjoyable one.  I will get onto the garden at some point!
