Hi there - well I have had a January full up with visits to the vet!   One daog and two cats have been - everyone okay for age then something wrong with three of them?  Poor Wolfie has been away to the small animal hospital in Liverpool for a few days but is scheduled to be home tomorrow I do hope so :)
Otherwise I have been doing the usual a lot of crochet and a lot of reading - in fact I have just finished "Cold Comfort Farm" by Stella Gibbons - very funny and very enjoyable.
What have you been reading?

Bye for now

I like winter. I like January. I know it's cold but it's fresh and invigorating. My collie Little Bess doesn't mind what the weather is doing as long as we have our walk and there is a stick or two. I saw a sttrange tree on the way home today - at first it looked grey and dead but as I got nearer the sun lit it up and it was an unusuaaly large silver birch and the bark was bright and silvery - quite magical and beautiful. I must go back with my little camera and get a photo to put on here. Some of the cold and frosty mornings turn into the most clear and sunny days it's not deep winter gloom at all. Hope you enjoy all that January can offer and don't wish any time away - we are always answered with Spring.

Lost gardens

Busy busy busy !

Hello again - December is so busy isn't it? even if like me you prefer to do all the decorations cards etc neare the time. I have started to watch some Christmassy films though to ease myself gently into the festive mood, not sure I like the word "festive" though. Last week I watched "The Bishop's Wife" a black & white Hoolywood movioe starring David Niven, Cary Grant and Loretta Young - I can highly recommend it.
Anyway the supper is made, husband not home till later so I might put on "A Christmas Carol" the one with Patric Stewart as Ebeneezer Scrooge.

Can't do anymore crochet today as my hands are aching, have done quite a lot this week!  Another friend is learning and is hooked - a few of my friends and I are planning a "Knit & natter" group for the new year - but of course ours will be crochet so need to think of a more apt but fun title - any suggestions?
