13.5 degrees - a very british summer!!

So I woke up after a lovely nights sleep (if you read the blog yesterday then you will appreciate why I needed that!) to the coldest morning so far!  To add insult to injury my leg also hurt and it looked like I had a swollen ankle - difficult to imagine how I had injured myself overnight!  I could only think that the cobbles of Bruges had taken their toll.

So - ankle strapped up - I ventured over to Scamblesby where a group of like minded people spend a day a month together enjoying ourselves sewing.  Some also go to the monthly sewing class that I blogged about last Saturday but Pat has not been introduced before - nor have Grace and Ruby.  Grace and Ruby are the grand daughters of Terry and were a delight to spend the day with.  It was reassuring to see these young ladies enjoying their sewing as much as we did and they were proud of their tea towel bags - Ruby declaring it to be the best thing she has made so far!

For my part I was making a Christmas present - if you recall I shared the fabric in an earlier post.  Sadly, and frustratingly, I mis-cut some of the pieces so could not finish the project - that will have to be achieved      later in the week.



Grace - got her!!

Driving home the car registered the "high" temperature of 13.5 degrees - I am seriously thinking of lighting the fire!!  I shouldn't be surprised - its the start of the school holidays after all!  However the rest of the evening beckons - egg sandwiches for tea, a woolly jumper and some knitting - I sure know how to live!!
