Springy spring has sprung

Out comes the sun, out comes the paintbrush. Spring repaint of garden chairs.

New granddaughter in a baby boat built by a grandfather she will never meet. He has left a legacy that will rock her as he would love to have done in person.

Gone early with the Christmas tree to cheer me up through StormDarragh - a power cut can knock out the lights but I will still have my shells to remind me of sunnier days on faraway beaches.

Saturday win - wrestled king size duvet into cover without swearing. Saturday fail - now I no longer have an official milk sniffer I tested by sipping and it was off.

The tank top is growing which is pleasing but for me knitting is like doing a jigsaw puzzle - the joy is the making process rather than completing it.

Now this taxed my brain- my second attempt at a roast dinner. How on earth did my late husband do it in a boat cooker while drinking wine? So many elements and chicken carving is clearly not my thing.

I’m not a neat baker but I do enjoy it and as long as it tastes good I am happy. Today’s creation - coffee & walnut.

Light in the winter dark at the Lost Gardens of Heligan Noght Garden. Sparkly but not too festive for November!

A lovely chat with @petroc.bsky.social on BBC Cornwall. Check it out on BBC Sounds

In between knitting & sitting I thought I would join BlueSky - check out the alternatives!
