Vegetables are coming along, netted the cabbages as the pigeons had been feasting.
The eldest would have loved a real horse in here

So attractive
Today my hayfever is playing up, I have red puffy, itchy eyes, so look lovely.
Lots to do in the garden, the front needs weeding and the drive needs weedkiller, last of the daff leaves to clear up. I can't plant up the bed in the drive as we are still waiting to see if we are allowed to cut down the dying chestnut tree, can't see why not but we have to wait the statutory 6 weeks to see if anyone objects - penalty of living in a conservation area! They would soon object if the thing drops on them. So looks like we will have that job to do when we get back from our holiday.
The roses are looking lovely, I take a few snaps and post them later. My neck is feeling marginally better today, so hopefully I won't do too much damage by gardening, but I just can't sit and do nothing when there is so much to do.

The day started early
Up with the lark this morning. My neck was hurting all night, even the tablets and ice pack didn't help! Out for my walk with the youngest at 6:30. We really paced it out and I feel much more awake and ready to face the day. The cuckoo was in good voice too this morning, feel tempted to tell Terry Wogan as he was saying they had all gone away.
Plans for today - washing, bit of housework, then off to the hairdressers for a cut and colour and to catch up on all the gossip

Love these short weeks
Thursday again already, and my working week is over, bliss. Off shortly to get new tyres on the car in preparation of the holiday.
Sophie's cardi is going well and I hope to have it finished this weekend.
No other plans at the moment so as the weather is forecast to be nice I expect I'll be working in the garden, always a job to do!

All weekends should be this long
There just aren't enough days in a weekend to do all the fun stuff you want. This weekend has been particularly good.
The weekend started on Friday with my trip to Stamford, very good market and yes I resisted the yarn stalls, but came home with lots of goodies to eat. Had a lovely lunch at the eldest's which wasn't so nice second time round when I was car sick, I blame her driving!
Saturday, started off with a good walk, popped to visit the in-laws, then spent the afternoon in the garden working.
Sunday dawned warm and sunny so we dusted off the Harley and leathers and headed down to Southwold, had a lovely day walking and people watching, don't you love being bitchy. I'm sure people do it to me too! Had too much sun, so have a lovely red nose and V mark on my chest.
Bank Holiday Monday was the highlight of the weekend, we headed off to London with friends Colin & Myra to meet up with friends Judy and Stephen, picnic in Kensington Gardens, walk round the Serpentine, then to the Royal Albert Hall for this years Eric Clapton concert. As usual he was on good form and a good time was had by all, long may he continue to tour. So as you'd expect I'm tired today, especially as it was 12:40 before we got home this morning and we were up for work at 6:20!
Needless to say no knitting got done this weekend, but the weather was perfect.

Yawn....... awake again
It's 5.31am and here I am again wide awake. This sleeping, or non sleeping lark is driving me mad. It seems that I go through a phase where I wake at stupid times in the morning and no amount of trying puts me back to sleep, so I just get up.
Mind you the crows nesting in chimney don't help, I think they were banging their beaks on the chimney pot this morning! Every year we say we will close the pot off and every year we leave it too late.
The yarn arrived yesterday for Sophie's cardigan. It is so lovely and soft - Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk, so abandoned the project I was working on and started the back straight away.
Busy weekend planned, but more on that later. Today I'm off to Stamford, the eldest assures me they have a large yarn stall on the market so we are off to check it out. Though I had promised the husband that I'd try and use some of my stash before purchasing any more!!!! I'll let you know how I get on.
