Hello there, how are you?
I've had a bit of a break from blogging, rarely posting on instagram either.
Grab a cuppa and I'll catch you up with my news... mine's a Rooibos tea (redbush), Morrisons are the best (I've tried them all).
Tulips from Morrisons too.

Current Read: my library book, working my way through the Rydaer & Loveday series. Policing in the 1960's when WPC trainees made the tea. Coroner Clement Ryder always needs help, so WPC Trudy Loveday is sent to help and learn.
Trying to have an 'digital free' lunchtime, it's lovely having a read over the lunch time. It feels more like a break too.
Current TBR pile: One for the bookclub, my choice fo April- 'Death and Croissants'
one for the library reading group 'The God of the Woods' I'm not sure that I'll finish that one (lots of pages, tiny words), a bit boring.

Knit & Natter: last week drinking a zero G & T in the pub on a hot sunny afternoon. I took several projects to work on, as I can't concentrate on any tricky bits with the nattering :) The project in the photo is a 'Fish n Chip vest/jumper.
Mother's Day gifts: Beautiful bulb gifts and delicious tea from the boys (men), no longer teens :)
now 23 and 25 years. We had a lovely day together, whilst the Grand Prix was on I made some sausage rolls with chicken mince, breadcrumbs, green tops of leek or spring onion, pinch of salt and parsley.
Bookclub: yesterday to discuss this book. I read the next book as well, so when people asked 'if the people get together' I said 'read the next book to find out'. It's a chick flick, told in 24 hours. Surprisingly we had a good discussion, despite some not particularly liking it.
I won an Easter egg in the raffle, raining money for the playing fields.

KAL: Knit-a-long the sample piece. There are two a year for Lent and Advent, they come with reflections. I'm just about keeping up, the last week will finish next week. This one will be a wrap.
Another knit & natter session, ha ha!
Me and the boys: Angus wanting cuddles, Winston waiting for his Dad (my son). Me thinking about my knitting.
That's all my news for now, take care and keep smiling.

Lovely to see a post from you and catch up on your news. You did well at the WI market, lots of bargains there, and what lovely gifts from your sons for Mother's Day. I love hyacinths.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo. I've since heard from the Maker's Market - they didn't do as well as they'd hoped... there are lots of charity requests to sponsor walking, running, swimming etc maybe that's the reason x
DeleteIt's lovely to see your blog pop up on my feed, Cathy.
ReplyDeleteYou bought some lovely items at the market. The ear warmer will be especially useful just now - it's blowing a hoolie here, today - and it's such a gorgeous colour.
Congratulations on your raffle win! X
Thank you Jules. I've worn the hat already, with all the chilly windy weather we've had recently, it was much needed x
DeleteLove your post. I totally agree that red tea is the best. We have it everyday. I read the God of the Woods, but not sure why. You are right it's a bit boring. The flowers in your pictures are so beautiful. Ours have a long ways to go here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Connie and for your kind words x
DeleteHello! It's lovely to see a new catch up post from you! You received some really lovely gifts for Mother's Day. Your tulips are so pretty! I love the mixed color combo. They don't sell them lIke that here just one solid color in a bunch. I picked up some pink peony tulips from the grocery yesterday and they are brightening up my kitchen table. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you Julia, hope you had a lovely Easter too x
