Surprise visit

Yesterday was a surprise visit from old friends who moved away but were in the area yesterday. 

They arrived bearing gifts from a recent visit to India, purses, one a hand stitched phone purse

And fabric, a lined dancing skirt from their daughter, in case I could use the fabric or the bling


Over a carafe of lemonade and plum cake, some of which went home with them, we caught up on her new job, her daughter's life plans,



here they're scrolling for pictures of her intended, to show me, and we generally had a wonderful visit. Such an unexpected treat.

Then we had the required photoshoot


Before that, I had hemmed those jeans for Handsome Son 


To the accompaniment of Mrs Pargeter


I'm giving knitting a day or two rest because my shoulder is asking for a break.

 But I shall return.

Happy day everyone, hang in there, look for even tiny joys, not easy, I know

  3. Celtfest is a most enjoyable weekend of Celtic music or at least music that is close to Celtic — at least with much fiddling.

  8. Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other gold.
    A appropriate little camp song we sang, last when I was sixteen or seventeen.
