I love the buzz of London, you never know what you are going to find, just around this corner was an actor drawing the crowds whilst walking on his hands.
and to say hello to my new blog.
I’d like to welcome you to my blog with our antics at Buckingham Palace.
I’ve had a great time here, but I no longer have an allotment and my spare time is still spent knitting but my active time will be spent on all things tailoring, so may I introduce,
(which is a little bit too grand, but I couldn’t resist when I saw it was still available)
Thank you all for your words of encouragement and support over the years, I will never forget your strength when we most needed it.
best wishes to you all,
love Mandy. xx
(Fortunately it looks like a different plumbers work that has put in the boiler and radiators etc, no such problems there)
And I have found the local market which was great fun, watermelons the size of a three year old child, 15kg ! and those flat peaches we like dripping with nectar which were three times the size I’ve ever seen them before. They were so gorgeous that I ate four in one afternoon. I also found a fabric shop which was stuffed to the rafters of very interesting fabrics, so I now have a blouse ready to cut its first toille out. Hopefully I will crack on with that tomorrow.
What I don’t have is my camera lead to download my lovely photo’s and I can’t even get icloud working properly, I need to think about that, so these piccies are a few I tweeted earlier in the week.
Hubby and I had a great weekend, Borough Market closely followed by I Knit, and today we have finally got the curtains safely in place in the living room bay. They fell off their brackets in a rather death defying act one evening last week, which made me jump, but they are secure and look great now.
And of course, there has been a little sock knitting to keep me company in the evenings.
I am sure this is a Rico yarn, I’ll try and get the details for the next time.
tatty bye, until the next time.
Firstly let me tell you I have just, whilst preparing this blog post about son no.2’s genius invention had a phone call to say we have completed on our London house. So I can now reveal all, at the end of this post.
The story starts thus, son no.1 had gotten up late, (by this I mean 1.30 in the afternoon) and was dashing around trying to get his things ready for work and was fast running out of time when son no.2 said, “I’ll cook you some lunch” and ushered him out of the kitchen so it was a surprise.
