Pleasure


It always gives me pleasure to see the rose buds getting ready to take over as soon as the lilac is finished. They were planted together long before we moved here and it is a perfect pairing.

Moving target


Sunny will not stay still long enough for the shutter to click - I have so many photos of her disappearing out of the picture!

How many?


If you look carefully you will see that all three cats are asleep on the bed.

Summer Hat


I have started knitting the hat pattern by Amy Miller from Interweave Knits Summer. I hope it works!

Not sure


This is something I planted a couple of years ago - clearly a herbaceous perennial. I have no idea what it is, but it is pretty and is thriving in a particularly dry, dark corner.

Bluebells


These are sneered at in the UK as they are Spanish bluebells and not our native kind. But they were here when we moved in 20 years ago and no power on earth is going to get rid of them, so here they stay. They are pretty anyway. I'll have to whisper it, but I grew up with our native bluebells and I actually like these better!

Sunshine!


At last this month's cold, grey and miserable weather has backed off enough to give us sunshine. I even got my laundry dry in the garden.

A new hobby


I have decided to try to teach myself supported spinning and here are my new spindles with their bowls. I am still at the stage of getting the spindle to spin reliably just by itself - fingers crossed I get beyond that stage soon!

Lilac



I love our white lilac and it is flowering now. It smells heavenly.

How can she breathe?


We humans have this pecualiar obsession about being able to breathe - Sunny doesn't think it applies to her.

Oberon



I have fallen in love with the carved leather covers made by Oberon Designs. My Kindle cover has come. The carving is much deeper than the photos suggest and so amazingly detailed! The colour is a nicer green that the camera makes out.

Which one?


This is actually Ginger - he has paler eyes. He is also bigger but that depends on seeing him and Sunny together. I get muddled quite often!

Green Shawl


I bought myself some lovely KnitWitches yarn - cashmere and silk means softness and shine too. This is going to be a one colour version of Chameleon shawl by Paulina Popiolek.

The sun does shine - occasionally!



We have had so much rain and so many days of low dark cloud that I felt the need to remind myself that it does actually clear up sometimes. We even get blue skies and sunshine on occasion.

Ginger


I always feel that Ginger doesn't get his fair share of attention - so here he is!

Mitred squares


I haven't been well in April so am making very slow progress with my knitting. At least this blanket is going to be pretty eventually.
