 Hello all ,  Well that's another week that flew by , why do they fly by so quick , is it because we live  in a busy world  or because we always have so many things to do.  Maybe I am getting slower with age , but every day seems so busy .

 This week passed by faster than ever . But it is now getting lighter at mornings and later each night . which is good for our stitching. Well again there is not much good news out there , I have had a few tears this week , seeing what is happening in Turkey , losing loved ones ,  it brings back memory's to me , to lose your child is so heart breaking and you never do get over it but you learn to live with it , but it's so hard .

 Hoping you are all ready for a  Happy New Year ,  I am hoping this year slows down and that the year just moves a little slower than last year . The weather is very mild again after a cold few weeks before Christmas which killed off a few of my plants , my new tropical plant died, it was getting a bit to large must have been 6ft tall and wide . So we cut it down and we cut it into bits to fit into the bin.it was so sad but I knew it would have to be moved and given away. Now I can start again and make a new wall garden . So watch this space . Ok stitching I have started back on ..read more
