Need I say more?
If they are going to do it on my windowsill, then they have to put up with being photographed!
I don't think they were especially bothered.
Sunrise this morning.
Although a bit of cloud cover when I went for my walk the sun was trying to shine through the clouds.
It was perfect this morning, I didn't see one person.
When you are on your own.... Daisy helped me bake this morning.
Scones were made, some to eat now, and some for the freezer.
I think she quite fancies the one by her right hand.
Shortbread was also made.
The last couple of days I have started making some more tiny rag dolls.
Stuffing them and sewing their limbs on is a great way to keep awake while watching Netflix!
Today I made some little reversible aprons
I will sew the shoulders together this evening.
My poor trusty machine that I saved up and bought brand new just over 30 years ago went 'bang' today and smoke started coming out the side. This is pretty devastating. I unscrewed the back and bottom panels but can't 'see' anything so I guess something must have gone wrong inside the motor. I hope at some stage I can get it fixed.
An umbrella for the table arrived today to provide me with some much needed shade during the day when it is hot. Just waiting on the base now so it doesn't wobble around.
My two books that I am dipping into to get ideas for my garden.
I probably should read them more thoroughly but I just like to 'get on with things'. I am recording what I do and where and when planted in my gardening journal so that should be a good resource to look back on.
I must have missed when you moved to the Isle of Wight and have only just realised that you had! Lovely walk and beautiful photos as always. I really fancied a shotbread they looked delicious! I was thinking of that day we met up at the V&A how long ago was it?!
ReplyDeleteNice work...just thinking that you might like to have a look at the downsized.net forum for sustainable living. A little like an online village, not a dry as dust thing!
ReplyDeletePlenty of discussion, plenty of good recipes on there, loads of useful information...I am gz on there (surprise!!)
Oh no, how devastating to lose your trusty sewing machine at such an awkward time. I hope you can get it fixed alright.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Daisy enjoyed her scone - your baking looks delicious :)
So sorry to read about your sewing machine, hope you manage to get it repaired. The baking looks delicious. The photos of the bees were a delight, great photographs.
