MY LOVELY SURPRISE

I had a lovely surprise today. Lou of www.ludabelle.blogspot.com and Russ her OH came over to the shop and we had our usual weekly natter, catching up on what's been happening, and (much to the disgust of Russ and Neil) comparing the effects that iron tablets have on us!!!! They're such a lovely couple, and funny with it (Lou and Russ that is) anyway Russ went over to the coffee shop and got us all a drink, bless him, then they gave me a lift to get my car from the garage and we said "see you later" and they went off on their merry way. Not half an hour later, Lou came walking back into the shop carrying this lovely Brexton Picnic set which she very kindly gave me, she wouldn't accept anything for it or even have something from the shop in exchange, how lovely is she????? Which reminds me that I must post the pictures of the lovely cushion that she made me so that she can see where I put it.

Can you see the things that Neil put in the picture especially for you Lou???

Bye for now

Love Liz x

Look at this lovely french knitwear advert, I think it is going to inspire me to get my old wools and needles out being as the weather this weekend is to be cold and windy

Well, with the spring like weather I thought I would share this lovely picture with you all. Saying that, the forecast for the rest of the week on the south coast is not so favourable, so look out for the next days gone by weather image.

Oh dear, this not what I thought. After Christmas I said to myself no more iced ring doughnuts, well at least cut back a little, but then you know what, a cup of tea just didn't seem the same, so now I will just have to get the bike out of the shed when this awful cold weather has cleared and see if I can hit my 09 goals. In the meantime a cup of tea and a you know what for me !!!!
