Catch up!

Walks at Calke, beautiful sunshine, clear blue skies
reflected in the water; stags looking magnificent;
catkins..........

Snowdrops and aconites at Hopton Hall ...................................

The effect of the Australian bushfires really got to me. So it was

good to read this blog and to be able to do something positive.

I made some drawstring bags and made up sewing kits as well

as sorting through my stash for fabrics. Stuff that I 'd bought

suddenly didn't seem as precious any more. Perhaps that's why

I can't help myself buying fat quarters - there was a reason in the end.

See you later ........................

Catch up, part two

Some more photos. This one I took from my work room window. The sun just
caught the blossom tree a few gardens away.

It's abit blurry but this is one of those dandelions after it had been battered by
rain and hail.

Later on that evening, a rainbow appreared over the back garden. If you look

carefully you can just see a second rainbow about an inch to the left of the

main one.

A neighbourhood cat making use of a warm engine!
Don't know what tree this is but the bark is wonderfull. The markings look like

resting moths.

Catch up over. Not back to normal yet though. Bye.

Catch up, since mid April

Haven't had chance to post and even less chance to do any stitching.

I did abit of baking just before I was scuppered. Found a great soda bread

recipe ......

then a really easy cookie recipe using peanut butter. Rather moorish!!
Visited Winston and he entertained us by digging in his box!!
Gorgeous daffodils in my garden. A gift from years ago and the only bulbs

that like my garden.

The dandelions are lovely, such vivid colour on a grey day.

Part two later. Bye.
