Friday 5th February

First of all I would like to say a BIG Happy birthday to my youngest son 35 years old today

It snowed this week, but nothing spectacular.  I helped a friend to make marmalade.  It would have taken her all day if she'd attempted it on her own.  I'm part of her bubble as her husband has Parkinson's so she needed help.  I just helped to peel and squeeze the oranges she did the rest in the afternoon.  I haven't done much else this week just knitting and sewing.

First of all I would like to say Happy Birthday to my granddaughter Scarlett,7 years old today

Think Positive, my words for the year - Huh!

Two block toilets in the matter of days, not happy.  I thought the guy who came to sort the upstairs loo and all was OK... No.... by Saturday morning the downstairs was blocked!  Not sure the blockage had flushed through properly, anyway I'll be on the phone tomorrow...........

Think Positive

Well my weekend started well!

This little person, a second grandson was born about 8,30am 9th January UK time.  

He is in New Zealand.

If his parents and sister were still living in UK I still wouldn't be able to see him yet..... 

My eldest grandson is 10years old today

Happy Birthday Liam

 My late husband use to say to me Think Positive.  Wise words! 

That is my word(s) for the year!  

So I'm thinking positive!  I'm having a eat out of the Freezer January!

Someone who doesn't like injections or blood taking I am looking forward to having my Coronavirus Vaccine.  I could be in one of three groups 64yrs, 65yrs if its after April or the 75yrs and vulnerable as I have had cancer.............

I've joined the I live, I Love, I craft Scavenger Hunt again.  

I haven't done it for a while but one picture a week, I can do....

This week GIFTS

Vintage Style Market bags made using a pattern from 1942

Ascot Scarf or Bow-Tie Scarf or Miss Marple.  

My pattern, I found a few free patterns on line but they did nothing for me.  

This is for walking on Exmoor so I wanted it warm around the neck

A cross-stitch card.  

The pattern was kindly given to me by a fellow blogger.

Fairy Cakes

and sent some Flowers

It was my friend Val's birthday on 4th January, she said her birthday is so near Christmas that she doesn't really celebrate it.  I thought this year she was going to.

She is one of three lovely friends in my little bubble

2020 a Year to Remember.........

I'm reluctant to say it but......

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2021 has got to be better than last year, hasn't it?

 What will this new year bring?  

What a strange year 2020 has been.  All of a sudden we had this virus which went worldwide which came from somewhere in China, and now it's getting worse.  Well they do say things have to get worse before they get better don't they.....?

Like most grandparents I haven't been able to see my grandchildren.  

Last seen last August!

Part of my family live in New Zealand and I haven't seen them for well over a year and miss them all dearly.  

Yes I have regular photos and little videos of my grandchildren but quite honestly I just want to physically see them.  I miss my three sons and their lovely wives. I did see middle son and daughter-in-law in September and had a lovely time with them. 

I do see really lovely friends who have been so kind to me since my husband passed away April 2019  if it wasn't for them I'd have gone crazy long since!  So a huge thank you to them.

 

There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
