Long walks, Laundry, and Lambs


Hi guys :)
We had a VERY long walk yesterday, 10 miles as we had to walk there and back :( i've discovered aching muscles that i never knew i had! Ouch!
We took a break on a wall and saw these little sweeties! One was much closer but bounced away before i could whip my camera out. How rude!
The poor mother looks very bemused!

Re-reading a favourite book of mine :)


This morning i was gazing out of the window about to put out the washing as it was nice and windy, i went to get the washing and a huge rain cloud appeared and started hoying it down! That'll teach me to procrastinate!
So, robbed of my chance to do some drying i swept and re-arranged the living room, preparing for when our Uncle John comes to stay on Thursday :)

It looks rather a mess but i hadn't finished when i took this
I'm  now going to relax and do a bit more crocheting on a shawl i'm making for a friend at knit and natter :)

Where's the coffee?

  1. I imagine crochet and coffee to be a far better pastime than tidying. X

    1. Ha-ha sounds perfect to me :) I'd much rather live in cloud of dust with a hook in one hand and coffee in the other! :)

  4. Oh how beautiful your outdoors is there ....what lovely scenery. I'd be out there too and let the dusting get behind, though inside looks quite cozy! :)

    1. It is truly stunning but incredibly windy! It is wonderfully cozy, the perfect size for my and my hubby and the occasional guest :) my only wish is for a real log fire, but the housing association won't allow us to have one :( health and safety and money and all that rubbish ;) *sigh* one day! It is the only thing i really want in my home, and a rayburn to heat the water haha :) xx

    1. Thank you :) They are adorable! You know, i didn't even know that there was a film with same name until you mentioned it haha, but no, the lady who wrote is called Jackie Moffat who comes from my home county of Cumbria,she is a fantastic author, very witty and i thoroughly recommend you read her if you ever get the chance :)

      I adore trains, especially steam, i haven't seen as many this year though due to moving and not being as close to a station as we once were, but, i am determined to go at some point this year :)
      Have a fab weekend too

  7. What a shame you can't have a fire - I really love our wood heater. And same, I am dying to install a Rayburn/AGA for cooking and hot water heating. One day!
    Those stone walls are amazing. We have a few in our area (volcano country), and I just love the look of them. So much nicer than barbed wire!
    Have a lovely week!

    1. isn't it? :( I must say, i adore this house, but if the opportunity comes up for one with a real fire and a bigger kitchen then i'll be off! haha! Everything else i can live without, but a decent fire, good coffee and a rayburn are a must! And a decent view is a bonus :)

      They are beautiful, and much easier to sit on than barbed wire! lol
      Hope you have a lovely week too :)
