Our village is a lovely mixture of houses from hundreds of years old to finished-last-week. This timber-framed thatched beauty is towards the older and prettier end of the scale. ...

A village near here has been yarn-bombed in the most delightful way. Just spent a happy hour exploring with the twinnage.

Erm, excuse me young lady, but you know you're not supposed to come into the house. Her latest trick is to come in and stand on the tub of mealworms whilst we're having a meal, staying there until someone feels guilty enough to get up and feed her.

An afternoon in the New Forest, wandering amongst the semi-wild ponies. This one came to investigate whether my yarn was edible! Needed a portable knit, so I started a sock in some fiery @burrow_and_soar yarn. ❤️

Sometimes, you just need a little bit of easy comfort-knitting. This will be a jumper. The yarn is @stylecraftyarns Dreamcatcher and I'm enjoying watching the colour shifts play out.

Robyn-the-robin would prefer that I didn't shove a camera in her face whilst she's busy enjoying today's third breakfast. I can see her point, actually.

Nobody will ever replace Robyn-the-robin, but this young-looking chap has begun following me round the garden yelling at me, and he's LOUD. He hasn't fed from my hand yet, but his cheeky confidence makes me wonder whether he's one of Robyn's children.

NEWSFLASH! I SAW ROBYN'S TWO BABIES! Pic 1: Robyn has breakfast. Pics 2&3: She brings her babies down. They're (wisely) very wary, so I had to leave a motion-activated camera outside in order to have a look. ❤️

Hospital waiting room knitting, pic 2 in a series of 7647568. 😁 Except today the waiting room is my car because of covid. But I have knitting and green tea, so I'll be FINE here for at least... oh maybe 2 days or so? Happy Friday, people! CHECK YOUR BOOBS (although maybe not right this minute if you're in a meeting at work).

Yesterday, there was a knock on the door. My yarny friend @mandy_reid_art is an artist, and little did I know that she'd been busy painting a portrait of Robyn-the-robin. So when she turned up with the finished work as a gift, I was so overwhelmed with surprise and gratitude that I hardly knew what to say. It's beautiful. It catches her perfectly - sweet but cheeky and feisty. I knew immediately which image Mandy had used as inspiration. The painting is now hanging up in pride of place, and I'm one very happy, grateful, woman. Mandy takes commissions, by the way. Just sayin'...

If I can turn a heel whilst walking with the twinnage, I can do anything, right? Like, for example, beat this silly uppity little cancerous lump. Right? Yeah?? Maybe???

Whenever I run past this lake, I have to stop and peer into its shallows. Today I saw tadpoles, diving beetles, dragonfly larvae, backswimmers, pond-skaters, great pond snails. This definitely didn't help my running, but it was fun. ❤️ ...

Hospital waiting room sock knitting. Picture one in a series of 7647568 photos. 😉 (Not really! Please don't unfollow!) Just turning the heel. But wowzers, that hurt today. Soft and comforting yarn is by the fabulous @burrow_and_soar. Just what the doctor ordered. 😊
