I baked these two chocolate cakes at 10 o'clock last night! Fraser is marshalling on the Three Peaks Run tomorrow so thought me may need some cake to take with him.

26 April 2012

Fraser is home - we've changed our broadband so he's checking out the laptop.

25 April 2012

Walked to work today - managed to dodge the rain but got this photo of the cherry blossom. Going to the pub quiz tonight (we were second!!!).

24 April 2012

I've started my new Flaming June cardigan - it's very bright!!!

23 April 2012

Spent today knitting and sewing! I cut out a dress from a Burda pattern and fabric I bought last year (only realised when I cut it out that I had already trimmed the paper pattern and I think it's going to be too small for me now!!!).

22 April 2012

Finished Dad's cardigan today. Fraser is off to Galway this evening for a few days.

21 April 2012

We walked into town this morning (and had breakfast in Booths!).

20 April 2012

Been to my two favourite fabric shops in Lancaster today with Cheryl and Anne

19 April 2012

Justina at her leaving do - we went to a Turkish restaurant in Kendal.

18 April 2012

At work today and completely forgot to take my photo until last thing at night - so quickly snapped this.

17 April 2012

Flowers from Jean

16 April 2012

Bought this at Rheged - something new to felt with.

15 April 2012

Went to Rheged today with Kate and met up with Rosie, Heather and Janet. This is the Flock. (FLOCK is a community arts project run by Eden Arts. It aims to engage schools and organisations in a craft activity and at the same time raise awareness of sheep's wool and its uses.)

14 April 2012

Spent today at Cowgill doing the garden - lots of lambs around.

13 April 2012

Back to taking flowers in the garden - couldn't resist a photo of the tulips.

12 April 2012

Something rusty in the garden - makes a change from flowers at the moment!

11 April 2012

I've taken an early morning photo today - at work so I know I won't have much time to take anything else.

10 April 2012

Home again - back at work and not much time to take a photo. But the sun was shining when I got home (after heavy rain during the day) so I just managed to catch the sun shining on this pieris in the garden.

9 April 2012

The view from Garlieston - as we were leaving this morning in heavy rain.

8 April 2012

Taken at the start of our second walk - at Cairnsmore Estate. We walked up (and up) through a forest and then the rain and mist descended - so we didn't quite get to the top!

7 April 2012

Taken on our first walk - St Ninian's Cave. We walked along the beach to the cave and then along the coastal path to Burrows Head. (St Ninian supposedly introduced the Christian faith to Scotland.) It was a lovely walk and the sun shone all day.

6 April 2012

We set off for Garlieston (in Dumfries and Galloway) this morning - stopped at Kirkcudbright for some lunch.

5 April 2012

Whilst we were in Manchester I just happened to find Purl City - and I had to buy something!!!!

4 April 2012

Been to Manchester today - we went to see Alegria (Cirque du Soleil) - had a lovely afternoon and evening.

3 April 2012

A little bit of colour on a dull and cold day - we did have some snow but only a little bit.

2 April 2012

Thought I'd take this before the strong wind blows all the blossom off the tree - the weather has really changed! Snow forecast for tomorrow.

1 April 2012

Had a bit of a lazy day today after our walk yesterday. This is the pear blossom in the garden.

31 March 2012

This is the start of our walk - from Rydal through Ambleside and up to Red Screes. Lovely and sunny when we started but like winter when we were up on Red Screes - it was bitterly cold.

30 March 2012

Some new cotton yarn to knit myself a summer cardigan - but I've got to finish Dad's aran cardigan first!!!!!

29 March 2012

I had a really busy day at work today - just remembered to take this photo when I got home before I rushed off to knitting group.

28 March 2012

Back at work today but at least it was another gorgeous warm and sunny day!
