Thanks for your kind thoughts x

Good morning - 'tis Friday

...and breathe - all went very well for my dear MIL and I thank you again for your kind thoughts and support ❤️

How is everyone?

Half term now - I always find it hard to believe that this one marks 'halfway through the school year'...

No big plans for the weekend or the coming week which suits me just fine really - as per our previous chat I am a bit 'peopled out' 🤣

Take care all x

Morning, quick catch up before we're off for the weekend. (I'm going to have to put on a 'social face'  for a couple of days. 😂

Sunnyday, good to hear all went well yesterday. 💐

Froglet - the Works had spring coloured pipecleaners  £1.00 including a 'spring pink' if you wanted to experiment.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Sunnyday, glad to hear all went well.

Louby - I think that’s what’s known as enabling…😉

I took advantage of a dry couple of hours yesterday and went to admire the snowdrops at Kedleston. There were hundreds of daffodils starting to spike through the ground so I shall plan to go back in a couple of weeks when they’re in bloom and will look stunning. Other than that I have finally made a little more progress on my sock and been immersed in a book as well as eating chocolate cherry scones.

Never - she is just helping you and keeping you updated on goods available from 'The Works' 🤣 I even found myself thinking 'oh do I need any pipe cleaners, they are a real bargain - clearly, I do not need any pipe cleaners 🤦‍♀️

I also spent an age looking at the orange 'things' and puzzling about what they are (carrots of course got there in the end!) 🤣

I was quite tempted by the carrots. In the course of my epic spare room sorting out I have discovered several cotton pulp eggs - I think I bought them when we were doing some work around penguins and needed a penguin egg for each of 4 classes. The cheapest way to get them was to get packs of assorted sizes consequently I have all the leftovers - I may need to do a spring project or two!

Glad all went well Sunnyday. Froglet, chocolate and cherry scones sound delicious, do you have a recipe please?  Lovely to have a dry day here yesterday (until the evening when a mini storm hit) Today is also meant to be nice so hoping to get a few jobs done in the garden. Have a lovely weekend all.

They were good Zigzag. The recipe is the National Trust one - you can google it but it comes up with links to facebook pages/instagram etc. I've put the one I think easiest to read here:

By the way - I halved the mix and it still made 8 big scones. They kept well.
