I shall be trying to find out where Parcel Force have left my new side brick for the stove!

Off to Leeds today.

A good neighbour delivered the parcel this morning. On reflection, my biggest problem is not hyearing someone at the back door when I'm in the front room. Have ordered a wireless door bell this morning!!

Where was Jack!

A very good question and all I can say is that the courier must have been very quiet. Jack generally misses nothing!

Keeping warm and watching for the post.... books on the way!

Today we shall be trying to warm our very cold house. A nice warm log fire will be the rule! Then a little shopping and a couple of visits to friends, French and English.

I have one last pumpkin here , so a little soup making perhaps. We had left two pumpkins in the store room but one is a puddle of disintegrated mush! That was a surprise, especially as it is so cold out there.

Spring cleaning my kitchen.

Sue, Mary and I used to be the first in the watermill on Eigg each year in March (no midges!) and the first job was to fire up the big Jotul wood-burner and get it red hot. It took 36 hours to get the heat into the walls. You can't beat having and ex-firebeater with you for that job!
Watching for another book.....

I hope you are taking it easy over there Sue and not exhausting yourself doing the garden!
Colne library for me this morning. This afternoon I mean to start moving a large pile of stones from one place to another.....

Definitely taking it easy, no gardening until next week when the weather warms up a bit. I have been making a dress all day and this evening is wine tasting at a friends house. I am still not 100%', so not rushing around ?

Keeping warm, looking after Jack and pursuing me Bible translation research.(Impressive huh?)

Nice run up to Southern Lakes to earn a few pennies. Nolic

Doing my one day a month bookkeeping job...it helps keep the old brain active and pays for a bag of feed or two for the ponies!

In the garden wrestling with the ivy, having a cuppa with next door neighbour, who is 98 & full of it. Writing, follwed by trip to pub with friend.

A trip to a fabric shop in Rennes. What a find, why can't we have shops like that. I needed a zipper foot for my machine. There should have been one with it, but there wasn't and I bought it too long ago to claim. The moral of the story is to check all parts are there when you buy a sewing machine, don't just check that it works!

Had a lovely run to Skpton yesterday - shopping today.

What a lovely day its been. Wall to wall sunshine but becoming nippy now. Nolic

Wall to wall cloud here, has been since we arrived on Monday!

Shopping day today.... Comrade, I hope you reflected as you drove up to the Lakes that you've paid for the privilege with all those years in a hard seam..... Mick's looking forward to working with you at Ribchester.

Comrade, Mick will be a real assett there. Nolic

Praise indeed, I've passed it on to him.....

In the Earby Heritage Room. Our next task is to index about 5000 photographs...looking forward to that!

More gardening before the inevitable rain arrives, trying to make sourdough bread, shopping & whatever.

More cold and cloud today. Bob is continuing tiling the new shower room , and I am continuing sewing. Hope next week is warmer as we have a garden to tidy up and a lawn to cut before we return.
