Drove down to Liverpool today and spent a lovely day with Alice. Saw Suzanne and Louise too. Took this photo of Jake and Dylan.

23 February 2011

Took this photo today whilst walking to work. It was raining - wet and miserable so the photo was slightly out of focus. This pair of ducks were walking along the path in front of me then walked towards the river. I've played around with the photo quite a bit but I'm pleased with the result.

Took this photo first thing morning - some more snowdrops.

F and I spent all morning in the garden - I was cutting everything down and F was shredding it! Stuck for a photo as it was quite a dull day and we were really busy. Took this - something orange!

Went swimming first thing this morning - cold, dark and wet when I left home and snow on the hills. Called into Dunelm and took this photo. We're out this evening with E & G - going to the Mortal Man - hope it's good!!

16 February 2011

Took this photo whilst walking to work today - it was a lovely sunny day - makes a change!!! Trying to get on with my D (Dancing Lady) socks but I'm having problems with them!! I almost finished the first one (in grey and pink) but it's too tight so I started a second sock and got the pattern wrong, so now I'm on my third one but I'm knitting with green wool now - not sure which contrast colour I'm going to use yet.

15 February 2011

Stuck for something to take today. It was frosty this morning but a bit dull and was raining when I got home. So, took a photo of this piece of felt that I made ages ago.

It's Valentine's Day today! Took this photo whilst walking around town at lunch-time. I was supposed to be going to my first Zumba class tonight but didn't make it!!!

13 February 2011

Wet and miserable here today. We went over to Ambleside this morning and bought F's (early) birthday present. Came home and put the fire on and we're cosied up watching the rugby - Ireland v France - and I'm doing some knitting. I've started my 'D' socks - Dancing Lady.

12 February 2011

We went over to Cowgill again today to do yet more decorating!! Took this photo from the bottom of the garden.

Very, very wet, windy and miserable here today in Cumbria. We'd planned to go over to Cowgill but thought better of it. Would have been my mum's 85th birthday today!
Took this photo from an old knitting book that I bought in Sedbergh on Friday.

5 February 2011

Went swimming first thing then F and I walked into town today. Bought some more sock wool - some glittery Regia for socks for H. We've had so much rain - the river is very high and roaring along - didn't have my camera with me!! Took this photo when I got back. These are our first snowdrops of the year.
