Introducing Percy.
Last weekend, we went to collect the newest addition to our family… on our way we stopped of with friends and ambled over the sheep fields in the most glorious of sunshine…
All in all a perfect April afternoon…and here is Percy…
Have a fabulous week.

weaving in the ends and life….
A couple of days ago…after 3 weeks of working shifts on placement as well as working my regular job and juggling Easter holidays with the robins and studying until the wee small hours…..crazy, absolute crazy…. I had the day off!
Who would have thought that weaving in ends (millions of the things) could be so therapeutic… but it was. The warmth of the spring sunshine and the peacefulness of being by myself…the boys went off making all sorts of dens with big branches…close enough so that their laughter made my heart smile, but far enough to just allow me to breathe and weave in ends.
A busy few weeks, which explains, my absence here…it is so good to have a hook back in my hand. This giant granny is a long over due gift for a very special lady…who is patiently waiting. The colour way is delicate and pretty and of course it’s good old stylecraft special dk.
So, I need to get this wrapped and mailed, before the second wave of study hits…

Uneggspected Happiness…
It may be cold and wintry, grey and dull, but my girls, Betty, Bo, Heidi and Sunita have done me proud…after a hiatus in egg production, look at what I found this morning….I am just delighted and am thinking of an omelette to celebrate. Spring can not be too far around the corner now… look at what else I have found today whilst I was walking with the dogs…
The daffodils in the park are piercing through the earth, announcing ‘new beginnings’ for that is what their name means. Its bright yellow trumpet like appearance, boldly and beautifully exclaiming the hope of Spring and reminding me of the resillience of nature.
The very sight of these eggs and daffodils today has caused me to feel such a reassuring and familiar peace nestled alongside a quickening of excitement in my soul….unexpected happiness.

Beautifully Chilly
My usual walk with the dogs lately has just been so beautiful….chilly at an average of -3, but beautiful. The bright, freezing mornings that fill my lungs with crisp air have also cast long shadows, which make me smile, as I make the short journey over to the fields with Alf and Jess.
The field down in the hollow, with all it’s grass and mud iced like the top of a frosted chocolate cake
As I climb out of the hollow and up the hill the sun shines in a blue, blue sky, but it can not chase away the bitter cold
Alf stops and pauses for a photo
Not one to be out done, Jess poses too
Tiny footprints temporarily fossilised by the ice
every bare and exposed surface has been visited by Jack Frost, over night.
such beauty
so blessed
