Slow Days, Painting,Shoes and News

Hi guys :)

This week has felt rather slow, i've barely left the house and haven't even gone on a walk! (hoping to remedy that this afternoon if the weather stays nice)


I decided the living was desperate for a splash of colour
I crocheted myself some yoga socks, to keep my feet warm whilst maintaining a grip on the mat


I made scrummy lasagne the other day, with plenty of leafy green stuff

Have you noticed a recurring colour in the above photos? Everything has blue in it :D
My favourite colour :)


And i had to finally buy some new shoes, as my sandals bit the dust :( 
Only £2 and very comfy!
(look at those huge clown feet!)


If any of you are interested, i have made a new blog for my yoga adventures etc, so i can separate it from here

In garden news the leeks seem to have settled in, i've been keeping an eye on them and snipping the tops regularly to stabilize them. The courgettes *knock on wood* are also doing well

What have you been up to this week? :)

      Isn't it fab? I got the wee dishes from poundland, the original intention was for pies, but i've used them for lots of other things too :)

Our Speaker Today

Hi guys :)  I am part of a community growers group, and over the next year or so we are going try and make our village look nicer and have an edible garden and flower beds.  Co Durham council are going to stop planting flowers in the flower beds on our main street, due to budget cuts, so we got the idea of putting things in the beds ourselves, including lots of herbs, and fruit bushes along the green. We want to really bring the community together and get them involved in growing things and generally making the village look nicer.  Yesterday, me and a two other members (and friends of course!) went on a wee jolly to Durham, for the Food Durham Annual Gathering. It is a marvellous initiative called The County Durham Food partnership.More info  here "Launched in May last year, the purpose is to work together for a more equitable,sustainable, fairer food system for County Durham providing access to food that is healthy for people and the planet."

Socks and Simple Pleasures

 Hi guys :) How do you like the blogs' new look and layout?  I fancied a change :) The socks on double pointed needles are going well! After a few hiccups with turning the heel (it got ripped out about 5 times!) it is finally beginning to take the shape of a sock! I must admit i am starting to get thoroughly sick of the colour brown! I tried it on after turning the heel but as the needles are straight they wouldn't fit over the instep so i had to quickly transfer them to a long circular.  It turns out knitting with DPN's is easier than it looks once you get into the rhythm of it :)    Today is looking gloomy and miserable, so no chance of putting the washing out. So i thought i'd share some sunnier pictures from the past few weeks This is the view about 1 mile from the house, i often wander down there to get some peace on nice days  On the way home i saw these beautiful horses, they saw me and started running and playing :...

Warm In Winter and Baking Day

Hi guys :) (Yes, I've changed the blog again, it desperately needed a refresh- variety is the spice of life, right?) Well, the snow is here, in case you haven't guessed by looking out of your own windows ;) I had to dive out in the snow this morning to rescue my poor leeks!  As you can see from the photo these were the only ones I managed to save :( I think the  others had decided to go to seed as they hadn't grown any more. Never mind. At least I've grown something rather than nothing :) I really don't like snow that much. It looks pretty, but it's a pain to walk in, as we live at the bottom of a hill, and the shop is on the other side of it! Luckily, we went food shopping yesterday and got everything we'd need for the fortnight, and got last bits and pieces today, so we won't need to leave  the house at all :)   I'll admit it does look very pretty Yesterday i dug out the thick duvet and added an extra blanket as well a...
