Well it had to be our Tetra Panex. Affectionately known as
T.Rex. It is a tropical plant originally from Taiwan.
It can grow up to 7 metres. It is rather large , but despite
the snow we had earlier in the year it has come through. It
has been described as a Fatsia Japonica on steroids.<br />

Well of course it did and now it is summer.So what have I been up to. Various hospital and gp visits,but not going to bore you with that. I have celebrated my daughter in laws 50th birthday and my grandaughters 18th and in a couple of weeks it will be my son in laws 50th too.I have stitched ,and will be showing pics for you to see. Martin has had eye laser treatment which has been a success . So now onto the photos. <br />

Sue and her mum on her birthday. What a photo of a mother and daughter.<br />
We did not go to Ellas 18th as it would have meant Martin driving back in the dark,at that point he had not had his eye done so he did not want to drive that far and not be able to see properly. Here is a pic of my 2 grandaughters on the same day a few days before the 18th<br />

In deep discussion. Only one grandchild missing ,Jack who with his fiancee was at the Southampton boat show. So lovely times and memories with family.<br />
<br />
So now onto the stitching and reading bit. Well quite a bit finished in the last couple of weeks and some wips too. Stash has been acquired and books too .However before the stitching here is what Martin erected a few weeks ago.<br />

His bookcase ,his side of the fire. We both love books and love seeing them on display. The grandchildren cannot get over the amount of books we have ,Jack and Katie came over for a curry and gin night last night and it was the first time Katie had seen them, where did they all come from she said ,we have more in the lofts I said in boxes. Oh dear no hope and I have 2 more coming this week. I think these days youngsters do not seem to read as much ,technology has taken over and not for the better sometimes I fear. Oh I love to lose myself in a book.<br />
One of the things I have been to the hospital for is my eyes they are monitoring it every 3 months . I am terrified I will lose my sight and my two great loves of stitching and reading may be lost. Still I cannot think of that now I am sure all will be well. I still manage to stitch over one with the help of my light and really good magnifier.I find though by the end of the evening things are beginning to double up. Talking about over one , this is the latest thing I am doing . It is a design by Carolyn Manning , it is called A flower a day as it was a stitch along she ran a while ago ,she has lots of wonderful designs and I do not think it will be the last I do. This is how far I have got.<br />

Really pleased with this one. Now I have a question for you,what do you do with all your finished work. I had a message from my ex boss asking that question ,so now I am asking you if you are still with me.<br />
I think by now you are really fed up with seeing all these photos ,but I know you will be too polite to say so.<br />
<br />
Martin has just gone to get his mum as she is coming for Sunday lunch. I hope there are not too many mistakes in this ,just needed to get a post done today . Hope you are all well and stitching away furiously . I am stitching on Grandmas Quilt tonight another in the farmhouse series. No time to show stash but maybe next time . Will try to be soon ,as Hilda Baker used to say. Now I can hear you saying WHO.<br />
Take care my friends and give me a nudge if I leave it too long next time. Photo hunt the end of this week argh !!! must take photos.<br />
Much love<br />

Hello everyone before I start on Mays assortment please can I thank everyone for their comments on Aprils post.<br />
I did have to find my thinking head for this months photos,but find them I did and here they are.<br />
<br />
1.Cool.<br />
<br />
This one had me wondering ,but thought I would go for the alternative meaning.<br />

This was taken at Pallington lakes ,the lakes are cool,but I thought the words in the water were rather "cool"too.A beautiful day to wander round and see all the sculptures .No dogs allowed though and no children. <br />
<br />
2. Disaster.<br />
Another one that made me think.<br />
Last year this was a bit of a disaster.<br />

My cooker,minus a door,,I hit it with my head one morning ,hubby heard a crash and found me on the floor surrounded by glass, an ambulance was called and I had staples put in my head. Lots of tests to find out why I had blacked out,but no real reason. I did find I have got a brain though as they did scans LOL.<br />

This is the end paper of a Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist. You do not find many books with these marbled end papers these days. It reminds me of the beach and the way the sea makes swirling patterns on the sand.<br />

It is not very sharp I am afraid, but this is my Rock ,my other half with, our old dog we lost last year.Taken sitting on the Rocks at Portland in Dorset. I spent my childhood clambering over these rocks . Simple joys then and no fear, out from morning until dusk .<br />

I hope to be doing the Photo scrap hunt at the end of the week so I must try not to duplicate things.Not once but twice we have had snow this month which for us is most unusual. The first time we had freezing rain too which was interesting to say the least.A thing I have never experienced and as the rain landed it froze ,it made for crunchy snow and a slip slidy surface. Effie did not like it at all. She did a great Bambi impression. It only lasted a day and when we looked out the following morning it was gone. The next snowfall we had was more like snow and the grandchildren had a snow day from school and had great fun building snowmen.<br />
A few pics of snow.<br />

They are in blue ,purple ,white and pink.Very pretty,<br />
We did have a bit of a fright this morning I was in the shower just before 8,when I heard the front door open, Martin had taken Effie for her morning walk so I was a bit bothered as to what had happened . Only to find it was Martin back with her , she had suffered a slight seizure in the fields. Oh no not Ollie all over again as he had Epilepsy. So Martin took her to the vet as I was still dripping. He did give her a full examination and took bloods. She has not been herself all day and not wanting to eat. The vet phoned with the info there was nothing remarkable in her blood results so we wait and see. Keep your fingers crossed for her.I am now off to play Lizzie Kate. Take care and thankyou so much for your comments.I do read them and am really thankful for them. Have a good week and I shall be back hopefully with the scrap challenge.<br />
Love and hugs<br />

I had a gift from my friend in the U.S.A. and I was thrilled, I saw these had been released and when I opened the packet and saw them well happy dancing I was. She also sent me this little pattern by Shepherd Bush ,a lightbulb moment and I have made this.<br />

2 rather spooky project bags.<br />
Last Sunday was Mothering Sunday in the U.K. My daughter popped over in the morning and brought me a clip for my new bracelet. Which is lovely. Then my son invited us to his for Sunday lunch which was lovely and he gave me a bead for the bracelet with has Son on one side and Mother on the other in the shape of a heart. Sue had excelled herself with pudding ,arghh not good for the waistline, but then I haven't had one of those for a while lol. This is the Toffee Apple Cheesecake .<br />

2 Jane Austen ones to use when I am stitching one of the designs featuring her quotes etc. The flying monkey one will go on my spooky stitching . I am using the owl one on my A Flower a day sal piece as I don't want to put it down and need to realise it is bed time. I am sure I will find a use for the Day complete one.<br />
Oh forgot this one that I had too. I have ordered the spring smalls from Lizzie Kate but it is not available until the end of the month.<br />

This is my grandcat, she belongs to my son ,daughter in law and grandaughter,her name is Misty and she is a Rag doll cat Almost white apart from her ears and nose and those gorgeous blue eyes.We cannot go see her so much now as she hates dogs and Effie hates cats so never the twain shall meet. She is a lot bigger now as this was taken a few years ago.<br />

Well he got in the picture too again,she is just to the left of him.It was lovely afternoon and we walked down to the beach in this little cove , it is named Pirates Cove and all our dogs have loved this walk,and the got to be done dip in the sea at the bottom. The Chesil Beach is to the right and Portland is in the distance.It is there just disappeared in the mist.Would you believe the powers that be are wanting to build a road through this walk, We will have no where to walk the dogs soon , it is so lovely to see them running free and enjoying life. I must get down off my soap box now.<br />

Effie having fun in the shallows ,had not realised she was upside down too. I should have got her a bit closer but I do not claim to take the best of photos.Thanks for all the comments its great to see what you think of interpretations of the words. I am off in a little while to see what you have been up to Meanwhile thanks to Kate her posts are always inspirational.<br />
Heres to March.<br />

How did THAT happen.Yesterday I reached 70 ,yes you read that right, although in my head I am nowhere near as old as that. However now I am living on borrowed time if you know what I mean by three score years and ten,I will have to get a move on and finish some of this accumulated stash I have. I have been very spoilt by the stitchers I have got to be friends with over the years and family alike ,although I have known the family a long time lol.<br />
So shall I start with what the person that means the world to me and his present to me. He has heard me twittering on about Gingher scissors and I opened a parcel by my plate one of three,one was from Effie.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Effie bought me the book glasses case ,now isnt she such a clever dog.It matches my handbag and purse. The scissors will go with the redwork bits I did last year. The main present was this though .Martin bought me the bracelet the safety chain and a charm that says I love you to the moon and back. He has had an expensive few days being Valentines the day before ,12 red roses arrived in a big M&S box along with a bear called<br />
Bertie. I feel myself very lucky to be loved by such a man.<br />
So this is the main present.<br />

I did know I was having this as he had taken me to get it a couple of weeks ago. I was not expecting the others I had though, he did say the children wanted to know what they could get and I did say well if it was not too expensive they could buy me a bead for my great big birthday. So that is what they did. </div>

So left to right, the white daisy was from mother in law, the large openwork one was from a certain Miss Julie, the pink hearts were from my best friend ,I had not realised until the girls told me that I have one heart and she keeps the other,as she hasn't a bracelet and probably had not realised herself I shall keep quiet would not want to upset her.Next to that one is Snowflake from my daughter and husband,a pretty heart is the next one although you can only see the point of the heart ,this was from Grandaughter Ella, next to that is the dog bone with I love my dog inscribed on the bead this was from Caitlin my other grandaughter along with other bits. The dog head was from Grandson Jack and his fiancee and the next blue one was from Son Graeme and his wife Sue. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will finish with family before showing you the stitchy goodness.This was from my youngest grandson who made it himself last week at Martins glass grooup. He is 11 and he was so excited to give it me.He had wrapped it well too and the sellotape was really challenging, I seem to have had a lot of sellotape moments this birthday ,you know who you are out there. Anyway Alfie gave me this. </div>

She is a sweetie , she said she could not not get me a sheep and as she has read all my other Jojo Moyes books she asked if she could borrow it when I have read it. So now grab a cuppa and I will share with you my goodies from friends.</div>

Not only had Sally stitched this,a design I have admired in the past but she had covered a box too. The little black bird is just so lovely ,I have a red glass bird Jack gave me a few years ago so this will sit facing that. A beautiful card too and a badge Hmmm we won't mention the badge lol.Stitching friends like Sally for so many years now are such a joy to have in my life. We stitch along virtually every week on 3 nights a week,sometimes on the same thing ,sometimes not but always with the same theme or designer.Thanks Sally for your friendship</div>

I just loved everything from my friend along the coast. I adored that sheep picture the colours are so lovely,and it is a sheep!! My love of all things Jane was satisfied with a copy of Mansfield Park ,I am ashamed to say that it is one I have not read so that will be rectified.June my friend all lovely and my thanks to you.<br />
Lastly Lainey sent me a lovely parcel tissue paper wrapped with sheep ribbon. She knows my love of sheep ,I think you all do. She also has a love of sheep along with Sally and so she knew exactly what I would like.Her stitching is beautiful and I was certainly pleased with these counting sheep.<br />

A sheep shopping bag and a sheep scarf complete the picture. So there you have it to all my family friends my love and thanks,for making this 69+1 year old very happy and thankful.Forgot to say all the family went out for a meal last evening and they very kindly tied a 70 balloon to the chair. <br />
I will be back next week with the photohunt . Also soon after an update on stitching.. I have had one finish though ,a pincushion to match the needlebook. Design byLizzie Kate.<br />

This was my Jane Austen piece ,at last finished. It is a combination of 2 designers, the picture of Jane Austen was a Sampler Girl chart that I did a few years ago. I thought instead of doing the ornate border like the top one I would stitch Jane at the bottom. It sits on my bookshelf with my Jane bits.I know a few of you like me are Jane fans.<br />
The next one is a Lizzie Kate one which I have been stitching along with Sally on our Monday Lizzie Kate night.Sally has become a dear friend over the years we have been stitching together ,we cannot meet as we are so far away but its good to know she is stitching at the same time as me. So this is my finish.<br />

On Fridays again a night with Sally stitching all things sheep. I chose this one from the lots of sheep charts I have . Well of course I would have to have a lot of those, I have had this chart for many years so now at last it is done.<br />

It is not exactly like the finish it called for but I used what I had available. At the top is the size needle again that it contains and the back is used to attach the scissor keep.<br />

This was attached by a magnet so it can be removed to be used and also serves as a needleminder.<br />
So those were my finishes. I am still progressing with the Christmas List, tomorrow Sunday I am joining Sally for a new start, the new LHN Series.On Monday I shall have a new LK start another small and a different finish so we will see how that works.<br />
Here are my purchases for this week , I have seen this a few times and decided I need to stitch it on my LK night. The one with it I would like to do for spring.<br />

These are to knit a triangle shawl very easy just in garter stitch , I hope to show it you finished in the not too different future. I am struggling a bit with the circular needle, I think I am old school as I like straight needles.<br />

I know I will have another to show you next time as Elly Griffiths has a new one out on the 8th and it is on preorder.<br />
I have just had to put you aside as Effie wanted to go for her afternoon walk.It has been dank and wet (again) here today, very muddy underfoot and as Effie can vouch undercarriage gets muddy too. She is so well settled now and sleeps wherever she can find a space on our bed,as long as she is with us she is happy.<br />
None of our other dogs have been allowed on the furniture but she seems to take it for granted. I will leave you with a pic of her a moment ago reclining as a dog should,or so she thinks.<br />

A shawl I knitted for a friend. Barbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07640881938305825896noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073198955814650210.post-22537512018164455492018-01-21T18:10:00.000+00:002018-01-21T18:10:27.701+00:00My Januarys post of this and thatHello my friends,<br />
I hope this might cheer you on a dull grey Sunday ,or that how it is in this part of the world. I have just taken Effie for a quick walk ,she does not like the road walking ,much sooner be off the lead free running in the fields. However,needs must today as other half is not feeling too good so I have told him to take it easy today he usually drives us to the fields along by the Fleet but as I cannot drive Effie had to be walked locally.<br />
I have things to tell you today that may make you smile, it sure caused some hilarity in the family. The other morning ,by the way I do not do mornings, I was preparing breakfast . I poured my bran into a bowl, ready for fruit and yoghurt to be added. Only one thing wrong was that I was also preparing Effies breakfast I tipped her meat into the bowl and went to make coffee. You have probably guessed what I did ,hmmm , turned round with fruit and yoghurt and noticed I had put the dogs food on top of my Al Bran. Needless to say I did not eat it, although my daughter had hysterics when I told her,and as I am doing Slimming World she said oh well it is Protein. Then said I should send a picture of it to the leader and ask him how many syns for it. I did not do that.<br />
<br />
So talking of dogs I have just finished this Lizzie Kate design ,and added the names of all our dogs ,past and present to it.<br />

This was our very first dog , Bess who was given as a present to Graeme by a friend. She was a real character and really should not have lived to 18 as she had a fondness for chocolate,our neighbour used to make her hot chocolate every day and she used to trot round when she heard the knock on the door as she knew what was coming. One Christmas she ate a whole box of chocolate gingers that the husband had under the tree, wrappers and all. We then decided we would have a golden retriever the breed we have had since. This was Tristan ,known as Trissie. Loved the water and lying on the bed.<br />

He was always up to mischief and having 2 teenagers still at home he had 2 playmates as well as Bess.When Bess died he was lonely so we got Hairy Jack,we called him Hairy as my grandson was Jack ,Martins Dad was Jack so it got a bit confusing , especially as grandson was a toddler.<br />

Hairy Jack loved his Bonios and would trot out to the car when we came back from shopping to collect his box of Bonios. We thought we would get another as Jack was getting older,however he was only 10 when he died. Oliver was next ,and I expect some of you will remember him. We lost him almost a year ago this month. <br />

I couldn't resist the little buttons and was so pleased with how it turned out. I am now doing a LHN design of a needlebook and scissor fob of course featuring sheep. I will show you progress next time. Sally is doing a Drawn Thread piece. We don't always do the same. I have also had a finish of a UFO which has been in and out more than a fiddlers elbow. Here is Boughs of Holly,which will be a cushion at some point, this has been my stitch on Wednesdays recently with the Parlour Ladies.<br />

Over one again and I am enjoying this one. What I will do with all these I do not know. I also started a Prairie Santa this week as I usually try and get one done in the year. I have to also finish Away we ride and Jane Austens piece. I cannot remember if I showed you this last time but this has also arrived.<br />

It was my sons 50th on the 16th, his wife took him to London to have dinner at the Shard. It was a complete surprise to him and he loved it. They went with 2 friends of theirs and had a wonderful time. They came down on Friday for a curry so we could give him his gift. Then yesterday Sue did a surprise party at home for friends and our daughter and husband went and his uncle who Graeme looks remarkably like and his wife. We were invited but as we saw them on Friday and it was really for people of their own age we thought it nicer if they did not have the wrinklies there. Yes we really are and next month I reach my allotted life span of 70 years. How did that happen ? I am hoping for at least another 70 as I have so much to do. I think if I start going backwards instead of forwards I may be able to get it done.<br />
I think the photo hunt is due for publication next weekend so there will be another post from me.<br />
I have a few books to show you this week . I have just had the delivery of another but not opened it yet so will share that next time.. meanwhile here are the ones I have had since last time.<br />

One about the Hebrides and The ladies of Ivy Cottage is a follow on from the Inn Keepers Daughter ,which I have read and thoroughly enjoyed.If any of you are fans of Miss Read it sort of reminds me of her style of writing.<br />
I used to like Stumpwork a while ago and when I saw the design on this book well fingers started itching, not sure if I could do something this complex,but I love the book.<br />

Last another smile to finish up with. As some of you know I have arthritis in my hands and back and at times in a lot of pain. My dear other half was reading about this and thought it may help me. It has caused some merriment I can assure you. <br />

Hmm. I do not think my udders need this. However it does seem to help my fingers, it is very minty, I had just rubbed some into my fingers and Effie thought she would give me a lick, so funny her tongue literally curled. Of course daughter found it amusing ,she is wondering what is next. So hope I have made you smile . Take care in the coming weeks until I post again. Thankyou for leaving me a comment and be sure this old woman does appreciate your visits.<br />

Revolting creature. She rolls in ecstasy all four legs in the air,total abandonment. She really enjoyed her Christmas and opened her presents herself, she was very lady like and tore off little pieces until she reached her goal. She had 2 penguins and a reindeer so she was very lucky .As was I. My dear husband bought me this after I fell in love with it whilst out with Catherine and Graeme back in November. I think my daughter had a word in her dads ear.<br />

Every December Sally and I do a christmas ornament exchange, I am afraid mine grew rather large but I am pleased to say Sally loved it. It is a design by Madame Chantilly, the sheep are a nod to our love of sheep. The two angels are maybe us two, I found it hard to part with this when it came sending it. <br />

Isn't he the cutest Santa ever, I had not realised I had placed him on the branch above another Santa. He looks as if he has a wooden body. He is rather special though Thanks so much Clare.<br />

on Friday I was rather naughty and took an emergency appointment as I was in so much pain, he was a lovely dr though and he had prescribed me Tramadol,which makes me feel grim but at least the pain has lessened. So he needs to see me next week to review the situation. On the 15th we had to go see the consultant in Salisbury again, this time Martin had to drive as Jack was busy and everyone else was working. The outcome being that for now they have discharged me,they offered me an injection into the vertabrae but it was not a promise it would work and all sorts of things that could go wrong. So I have to try a gentle pilates ,I had a dvd come today. I will not be sharing pictures of me in awkward positions lol.<br />
On the 3rd of December the day had arrived for us to go see.<br />

This was the concert that was a gift from Graeme and Catherine and their families for our golden wedding. Catherine came over for a sleep over with Effie , and we drove to Graemes where we had lunch and then they drove us to a travel lodge where we stayed the night. The concert by these two was absolutely brilliant.I had not realised that Alfie Boe hails from the town I lived in until I was 6 and where my parents moved back to when I married, so many happy memories of Fleetwood.<br />

They all had a lovely day. We are all going out for a celebratory meal for those that could not go ,this weekend.<br />
So that was the big celebration.<br />
Now onto stitching and I have been trying to keep to the projects on nights I have planned for them. I think maybe I will have to put Jane Austen away until later ,as I have chosen a more to it chart than I thought for a christmas exchange. I have had one finish but not "finished"it yet. It is Jump for joy ,if anyone would like the chart leave a comment ,if more than one I will draw a winner.<br />

Sorry about the crumpled look .It is coming along though and I am wondering if to make it into a cushion. I have a free night on Thursday so I will get one of them out and stitch a bit more. I am wanting to knit but not sure what so maybe next time you pop by I will have something on the needles. <br />
I asked my friend Barbara if she could get this chart for me ,I could not get it in the UK so she kindly got it for me and posted it for me which was a lot cheaper than having it sent from the store.Thankyou so much Barbara if you read this. I am going to have a dogs we have had wall and thought this would be a lovely stitched piece to go in the middle.<br />

I just cannot read fast enough. I am reading Things we never said at the moment. About a week ago we had a phone call from youngest grandson ,he had a day off school due to teacher training. He wanted to know if we would like to go for a walk.So we went out to Kates and walked over Lorton Meadows. It was a beautiful day and we thought Effie would not get into mischief , about 2 minutes in she found the deepest muddiest puddle she could ,and wallowed.So our clean pale golden retriever was chocolate coloured.<br />

The witches house candleholder.The October Moon behind it was a previous exchange piece from Tina. The Pumpkin house design was in this years edition of JCS Halloween .<br />
I have not finished anything else but I am working on several bits. I have put Mondays onto the exchange I do with Sally at Christmas , it is a bit bigger than an ornament so it will take me longer. I do not stitch as quick as I used to . Arthur has attacked the hands , age does not come alone.<br />
I will not be able to show you that one for a while. I have picked up boughs of Holly again!!! This is Wednesdays in the parlour , I can show you here as I cannot get photobucket to let me share it with Needlecraft Haven.<br />

Lots of bits and bobs about the festive season ,extracts from books and just a nice book to sit on the coffee table during the season. It will be here sooner than we think . Martin saw these and thought of me they were only £10 each from Postscript. 53 cds , I will listen while I sew. I love the descriptive writing of Charles Dickens.<br />

We have not been out and about much so nothing to share there. We do walk Effie everyday though but it is usually the same place. She has settled down really well,been spayed so we are waiting for her fur to grow back . She is in her favourite place with me as I write this on the settee. I only have to move though and she is right behind me. She has grown a lot more confident both with people and dogs and loves to play with any dog that is game. So lovely to see her full of life.<br />
The garden is not at its best now as winter is around the corner but I did take a couple of photos for you to see,<br />

Not very inspiring ,however this box has a history, predominantly it was used in the age of steam on the railways.It was used to hold tokens that the drivers had to pick up at the beginning of a single track rail. To prevent another train entering single line working as only the owner of the token could be on the line. The age of steam has passed and so this box is "Shut".<br />

The other evening the light was so good I managed to get a shot of this tree by the roadside outside our house.<br />

She is 2 (last week) and is a rescue.Very timid and had not been walked off the lead at all . She has settled in well and found a corner of our hearts that we share with our other goldies who are no longer with us.<br />

As you can see she has made herself very much at home. None of our others were allowed on the furniture ,but we gave in as she was so worried when we got her. A month in and she is off the lead in the fields and comes when called, it is a joy to watch her bounding through the grass. Full of life and happiness. She is still wary of other people ,but now thinks every dog is a friend ,not got round to playing chase yet but I think it will come.<br />

This one was taken from the computer ,as somehow it is not on my camera , Up in the fields,she likes the sea but is not sure what it is, she paddles in the shallows then lays down and rolls in it. So funny to see after out other swimming boys. We have booked her in to be spayed in a couple of weeks time. We are not allowed to breed from her and we would not want to. She has been very interested in our friends tortoise that we looked after for a few weeks.<br />

Sorry not very clear. These cottages were close to what the locals call Bow and Arrow Castle , really Rufus Castle which was built in the 15c but is now a ruin. I will cheat a bit and show you a pic of it as you can see the slits where they would have fired the bows from.<br />

Pennsylvania Castle , once owned by William Penn, I used to do the flowers here when it was privately owned . The hall had a very large circular table and we had to make a very large arrangement to go on it . Those were the days. Now it is owned by a holiday company who hire it out for corporate events, It is rather grand.<br />

A first and most important bit of news is that Jack our grandson has heard he has got a first degree with honours at University in Engineering. We are so proud of him and the young man he has become. <br />
The other news is we may be having another Golden Retriever, we have our name on a waiting list and keeping everything crossed that we will be lucky. The puppies are due on the 12th August ,not too long to wait , the mums name is Molly and we were excited to see in her pedigree line she has a relation of our first and last dog and another of the 2nd one we had. So keep your fingers crossed for us too. There will be lots of pictures no doubt.<br />
So what has been happening since I last spoke. Well I have 4 ,yes 4!!!! finishes. Whoo hoo.<br />
So the first one to be finished was The Happy Couple by Brookes Books. This is now framed and on my Austen shelf. <br />

I did love stitching this one , and it fits well with all my other "Jane" bits and pieces.I stitched it over one on 28 count fabric. Next was Jubilees Sheep by Little House needleworks. Again stitched over one ,I did this in the parlour on Wednesday nights over at Needlecraft Haven. <br />

I was a bit concerned the fabric was a bit dark but after I had done a few letters I decided to carry on with it. This is by Cross Eyed Cricket, again on 28 over one. I do like how over one looks when finished .Last but not least is the Spring Makeover by Madame Chantilly. I still have to decide where I am going to hang it so at the moment it is on the back of a chair.<br />

I added some sheep brooches I had , Christine may recognise the middle one as she made it. I loved stitching this and it gave me many smiles.So my friends lots of new starts this week . I will show you wips next time. I love having new starts and I was determined to finish these before I did start anything else. Martin too has been playing with glass and these are his finishes.<br />

So that was our handiwork for this month.Now for the rambling bit. We decided last week we would go to a garden that was featured on Gardeners world.East Lambrook Manor Gardens.We were either a little too late for the cottage garden that we expected to see so a little disapointing . However the setting was lovely and I did meet a very friendly cat ,that I might add I could have smuggled home.<br />

He/she joined us on our stroll around the garden and even came and sat next to me on a bench. We thought the medieval house was so sweet ,the ham stone that is used round this area is such a warm lovely colour.<br />

From this you can see what it was like. Pretty but not what I was expecting from a cottage garden. We then decided to go onto Martock ,I have shown you there before it has a lovely craft gallery and shop there as well as being a woodturners paradise. We had lunch there and then I went to the shop and Martin went to the wood shop. I did indulge in a book ,but more of that later. We met outside the gallery where we admired this wonderful chap which now resides in the back garden.<br />

So that was our day out last week. I had a request from my friend Tina (no blog) that she wanted to see some pics of our garden , so after the rain stopped yesterday I ventured out into the (jungle) and took some.<br />
Here is the view down the garden from the back door.<br />

Yew!!!!!Lots of busy ants, and when I moved another brick they had a nest with lots of eggs, they all pitched in and carried their eggs to safety.<br />
We have been wanting rain now for a few weeks , and we really got some last week. The restio at the front was bowing down to the ground with the weight of the rain . Yes Number 7 is Rain.<br />

So there is last Thursdays meanderings , G&S came down that evening as Graeme needed to see his dad for fathers day as he was working on the day itself. So we pootled off to Portland again, we were going to the cove for them to eat but it was full to overflowing so we called in the Boat that rocks and enjoyed the view from there.<br />

I bought three of these to go on the decking. Books yes more books but they can wait until next week. I did see this bench and loved the saying on it. So I will leave you with that and say thanks to you who are so kind to leave me a comment or even just glance my way. Take care and this comes with <br />
Much love and many hugs.<br />

We had to travel to Salisbury in Wiltshire as I had a hospital appointment for my back ,which was very informative. Have to go back in 4-6 months after having some manual phsyiotherapy which I am waiting an appointment for. So we set off early for my 11a.m appointment ,we arrived about 5 mins late as we got lost on the way . Martin asked if I wanted to go straight home to which I replied no I would like to see the Cathedral. We found the park and ride into the city centre and because we are old we have bus passes so it did not cost us anything . I wonder if it will be stopped in time by the government. So here is the view of the Cathedral.<br />

I love this place, we have been a few times over the years. It never ceases to amaze me the workmanship . We<br />
thought we would visit a National Trust property which was very near here and sit in the garden and have lunch.<br />
The place was Mompesson House, we could sit in the gardens for £1 each which we thought by NT standards it was not too bad , evidently if we wanted to see round the house it would have been more.<br />
I took a few pictures so you could see.<br />

I was waiting for the 3 people to move but I think they were so deep in conversation they weren't going to .I think the Cathedral has had a facelift clean recently so it certainly looked good.<br />

We would like to have seen inside in more depth,but time was against us and we had a long journey home ,we have promised ourselves a weekend here maybe and explore in more detail as it is a fascinating old city. The walking Madonna artwork in the close is a bronze by Dame Elizabeth Frink .She strides from the Cathedral into the wide world where human needs are to be met.<br />

So there you have our short visit to Salisbury , we passed some public school boys on our way back to the bus and overheard one say , when we get back we will have a game ,it is just the day for Croquet. Hmmmm have to get the hoops out when we get home then . That was a week after our Scotland trip.<br />
The following week we had a lovely trip out with Graeme and Sue but will share that next time.<br />
My stitching has been almost non existent and Sallty will be despairing of me ,but I have a little finish to show you but that will be next time too. I wrote so much about Scotland I am not sure if I told you about the Lewis trilogy by Peter May. I have read them on Kindle but needed the proper books ! I am re reading them now.<br />

So be prepared. We left Aviemore at 9 o clock to travel down towards Glasgow. I was hoping for half an hour in the town as I had seen a lovely Harris Tweed shawl in one of the shop windows and it was half price. It was not to be though and we left it behind . I did take a few pics on route ,but have no clue to where they were.<br />

to the waterfall to see if you could see the fish jumping , I passed on that but Martin said he would go. I hit the shops, Not big time because of weight again but got a few little bits from this shop..I know its a dreadful picture but I needed a reminder of where I had got things. You will see them later. Martin meanwhile had found the railway station and took a picture of the porter.<br />

He found whilst there that the Edradour distillery was 2 miles away but although he could have made it and back he would not have had time to visit. I had bought him some for his 60th birthday from here and I had not realised we would be visiting the town.<br />

View upstream to the Salmon fishing waters.<br />
Martin then found me at the designated meeting place and we went for coffee and cake yum. Onwards then to Stirling ,where we were told we would have about 2 hours so time for a climb to the castle if we wished. What a difference to the islands , the peace and serenity have gone.<br />

Stirling high street. My goodness it was hot. So we climbed to the castle , decided not to go round as not enough time to take it in properly.. We did see Robert the Bruce outside though.<br />

You can tell how far up we had to climb. I had seen a little friend to buy so we walked back the way we came and bought him ,again I will show you that later.I wasn't sure if I had been quick enough to catch the squirrel ,but as you can see I did..<br />

So our journey had nearly ended and we were back at Glasgow for our last night.We said our goodbyes got a pic of Kimberly and Steve .Which is on Martins camera so not one here. Not such a good night as the air conditioning unit thing was above our floor and was humming all night as we were on the 9th floor. We saw our nice waiter and he remembered us . Lovely young chap. So after breakfast we headed our way over the road to the airport ,checked in baggage ,phew nothing to pay and then waited for our flight at 11 oclock.No vip this time and we were further back in the plain. Fluffy white clouds and blue skies. Not sure but thought we saw Blackpool Tower so I waved at "home" . Our dear daughter in law Sue was waiting to take us to theirs. She so kindly had done us lunch and after that we got in the car and drove home. Very tired we fitted a lot in , but we have so many lovely memories of that special holiday.<br />
Just a little glimpse of things we purchased. <br />

Just amused me as I said earlier we bought lots of books on different areas we visited. More about the archeaology for Martin. The Hebridean jewellery that Martin bought me and a scarf to be fastened by it, I bought the scarf in the shop at Pitlochry.<br />

A scissor keep , does anyone have the same problem as me , if I have a scissor keep on a cord on my scissors ,what is the betting that at some point I will cut through it . Oh well perhaps this one will be different. I told you that I had bought a friend back from Stirling ,well he looked so lonely sitting there in the shop window.I had to have him. So let me introduce you to Donald .<br />

He has an authentic Harris Tweed Waitcoat and hat ,I called him Donald ,as he has no trousers. Perhaps he will accompany me on more trips we will see. Last but certainly not least we had to send for some of this as it was too heavy to fetch back on the plane. We also got one for Graeme and Sue for ferrying us to and from the airport. Thanks to you guys. Can you guess what it is, only online from the Distilllery .<br />
