More regarding my recent trip

 When my sister and I cleared mum's house after she went, I took this table

 I'd always intended to rub it down and replace the fabric under the glass, but recently I realized that I simply wasn't ever going to get it done, so I offered it to JO. I left it with her at 10.30 in the morning and by 4.30 the same day she sent me this : 

 What an improvement.

I took lots of craft stuff and some books for another of my DiLs, she gave me some cuttings and her mum gave me a plant

 GD4 made me a horse's head 

 A very dear friend drove up to Kent from Hastings to meet me for lunch, and gave me a bouquet in a glass bottle, and some amazing scented soap

 JO gave me a belated christmas present, and her daughter (my grandson's half sister) GD6 gave me a lovely drawing

 

Aren't I lucky to have such lovely people in my life.

March, the first week and I've been on a trip . . .

 . . . to visit various family members in Surrey and Kent. Here is an illustrated precis of my trip

 

I had a great time. Please come back tomorrow for more tales from my trip.

February, the final week

 Here's the tree that I'm watching on a monthly basis

 And here's this week's decluttering total, 9 items, making the annual total so far 44.

I bought myself a new bag, as my old one has almost given up the ghost

 

The second lot of bookcover squares are complete

 And, together with the first four, have been joined to start a blanket

 My herbword for this week is fairly simple

 A couple of shots of my locality, 

I admit to being a bit of a numbers nurd, please ignore the leading zero, and admire Natalya's current mileage

 Another full month of Woodoku

  

How was your week/month?

February's Photo Hunt - Food.

Eileen at https://in-my-playroom.blogspot.com/2026/02/monthly-photo-challenge.html  hosts a photo hunt with a different subject each month. February's was food (she very kindly accepted my suggestion). 

So, as we head towards the end of the month here are my February Food Fotos

 

 

 

Thanks once again Eileen. I wonder what she'll pick for March?

My first walk of the Year

It's not far to walk to the canal and back from home, just about the right distance for a first walk of the year. My pedometer registered over two miles but I think it was just showing off! It's over a year since I've done that particular walk, and some things have changed a bit, certainly the new steps by the bridge weren't there the last time. 

Enjoy the Wildshire.

 

 Back at home and the lilac is showing new buds, yippee. 

That felt good.
