A Grand Day ... Playing Out In The Sunshine....



Hello there ... hope you've all had a nice time ...

I'm sure Hubby P and I have eaten far too much ....

I've had such a grand day playing out in the sunshine .... 
yes ..
 at last ... 
after all that awful rain .. hail ... and dreadful wind...
we have had some lovely sunshine.



 Puddycat made the most of it and sunned herself on the windowsill.



 It was so mild I didn't even wear a coat ... 

The Christmas wreath took a bashing in the wind ... it looks very sorry for itself ...



 And there were plastic bags scattered all over the garden and in the hedges ... the wind must have got into someones dustbin ... 
I had a good old tidy up...

Not a pretty sight .. a wild haired ...dumpy... middle aged woman...  scrabbling around in the hedge ... but hey ho...

at one time maybe .. they'd have 'ducked' me as a witch!



 The windows were filthy ... all that wind ... 
I'm sure it had blown half the sand from the beach ...
 6 miles away ...
 and left a thick film over the windows.

I gave them a good wash over ... let the sunshine in.



 Looking around the garden ... lots going on ... in a quiet way.

How exciting to see all these little treasures peeping through...

Oh .... for an early spring!



 Back to work for Hubby P .... we may not be trading for a few days ... but we will need something to trade with.

There's always something to repair ... re fashion ... re purpose ... something to give a new life to.



 These little beauties arrived in the back of the van a few days before Christmas ...
 lovely old Singer sewing machine bases ... 
they make lovely little tables ....
so I think that was today's project ...

Would you like to see the finished tables before we sell them on?
I never really know what interests you dear bloggy readers .. 
I'd hate to think I just go on about work.



After a nice afternoon in the garden .... 
a spot of soup making ... 
Hubby P fancies a drop of Lentil and Bacon soup ...

Just the job as the sun goes down .. and that chilly dampness creeps in ... 
time to bank up the fire .. and toast our toes.

Just thinking ... what is it you do like to read about ?

Sometimes I feel I don't lead a wildly exciting life ... 
don't travel much ... 
no fancy restaurants ... 
not particularly knowledgeable on any subject ...

I just try to give you a snippet of a quiet life on Anglesey. 

Take care x
