A little bit of R & R



Following last weekends royal wedding and all the excitement that went with it, this last week seemed like the longest week ever.  Time definitely seemed to go ever so slowly even though it had been the usual hectic week at work.  Still Friday finally arrived and at 5pm I put my out of office notification on the computer and shut it down for the next week.  Time for a bit of R & R for half term.  We are not going away  more of a staycation as there are lots of things I would like to get on with here, some of which will be catching up with writing up blog posts on recipes, knitting and crochet projects. Hopefully the weather will be kind and we will get out in the garden as the grass will need mowing, there are beds that need digging and plants needing planting. I dare say there will be the odd visit to the garden centre which may include breakfast or lunch out always a nice treat.  of course there will be walks with the furry paws.  We have lived here a year now but still going on a journey of discovery finding all the best places to walk with them. 



Thank you for all your lovely comments of congratulations about becoming a grandma. As you can see the knitting needles have been out. I do like these neutral colours I can foresee a few more bits and bobs being made with these colours unless they change their minds of course and choose to find out whether they are having a boy or girl at the next scan. 





One blanket is already off the hook



with a second currently being blocked




and this little guy is heading for the baby's nursery once completed with hopefully one or two more to join him before November.


Whether you are off for half term or just enjoying the bank holiday weekend enjoy your time off. OK time to go and tackle one of the jobs on the agenda - sorting out the wool stash......

  1. Congratulations on coming "Nana-Hood"!

    Oh I like the neutral colors for baby things. So soft and pretty...and even baby boys, can have 'pretty.' they are just babies! :-)))))

    A 'stay-cation' sounds lovely. Time to do needed things, but without the rush of trying to do them "all," on a weekend.

    Enjoy!!!!

    A 'Nana'

  2. Enjoy your week off, I think the weather is set to be fine over the coming week so you should be able to get out and about or get some jobs done in the garden. The baby things are so cute, it must be so exciting to be making things for your own grandchild rather than other people's babies for a change.

    1. Thank you this my first grand child so its nice to be making things for a new member of the family. Not sure what modern mums use these days but as this one will be a winter baby I'm thinking definitely hats and mitts and I'm looking forward to sifting through my old pattern books for little cardigans and jumpers.

    1. The weather hasn't been too favorable so far the boys have been out and about train spotting and we've managed to get out in the garden a little bit but still a few days to go before its back to work when of course it will be brilliant sunshine.
