Thursday, March 12

What did we get up to yesterday?

 A photo an hour 6am - 6pm - well, as near as I can get it.


6am (actually a little after)

Curtains thrown wide revealing the day before the weather turns


7am - back in bed
Pan having eaten breakfast, slipped out in to the garden, has now returned to bed.

8-ish am
Toast - food of the gods, 
especially with lemon curd or marmite and washed down with a mug of tea

9.30ish
The morning walk, post breakfast, with Willow.
It seems we are now part of the 'Women who walk' their dogs in the morning. 
More talking that walking seems to occur. 
Willow and I pass our greetings then walk on leaving them to natter.

10.30ish
In the greenhouse, tidying it in preparation of the new growing season.

11.45ish
Someone has found a rare slip of sunlight, whilst we are inside for lunch

1pm
Back outside and spotted some primroses in the wild part of the garden


2pm
Working in the garden with these two, 
tidying up the shredding from yesterday's garden hurdle making

2.45pm
Planting onions in modules to give me time to prepare their growing space

3.40ish
A precious half hour at my art desk,  
quietly working on a year long project following the seasons

4.40pm
Sewing on a butterfly patch whilst the pasta sauce simmered - 
I'd torn my trousers whilst working in the garden today

5.45pm

Our 'getting-on-a-bit' old lady - a proper heat worshipper 



Thank you for coming along with us through our day. Hope yours was as gentle and productive as ours.

  1. Sounds like a lovely gentle relaxing post retirement day. We had sunshine in North Wales yesterday and went for something a lot more authentic than our Portmeirion visit. We did, what I would call, a proper walk … with mountains, lakes and waterfalls. We absolutely loved it and I will be sharing it soon 😀

  3. Love the butterfly patch. I might copy that! Good to see Willow relaxing, but still with an eye half open in case she misses anything.

    1. Thank you!🦋 I can't see why mending should not be a joyous thing - yes I tore my jeans but they were 'working' and have already had a busy 'life' so adding a spot of butterfly love certainly gives them more character haha - most of my mends are very visible!

    1. It was lovely - but it was a false spring day! Today there are yellowy skies, snow and it is bitterly cold, glad not to be working outside🥶

    Best wishes

    1. It was a good day, the cat makes a really good supervisor - has the perfect disapproving scowl if she thinks I am making a hash of things, where as the dog is a great cheerleader - what ever I do - is BRILLIANT (little does she know haha)

    1. Thank you Vix, I'm relieved the cat has decided the dog is not worth worrying about, just need Willow to stop trying to herd the cat back to us! She just cannot fathom the freedom cats have 😄

    1. Yes, she does sit that close, but only for a moment or two - then you notice she starts to lean back, shut her eyes and suddenly move when she reaches 'optimum temperature' at that point she then lies down on the carpet at a much more respectable distance!
