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......
