I love Marvin Gaye's album "What's Going On" and it sure fits the bill this week but so does Rochdale born Grace Fields song "Sing as you go".

I'm sure it was written for my mum as she is always singing. So am I when I have'nt got laryngitis, which I have this week. It was weird yesterday when tried to belt it out to a song on the radio. A little squeak came out then a bit of a huff.
"Hallelujah" shouted Philip "thats been the best thing to come out of you having a cough and cold. A bit of peace and quiet". I'm sure he doesn't mean it really.
So even though I have got bugs I wrapped up warm in my charity shop find cashmere cardi and stuck my head out the door to have a look at Humpty the scarecrow which young Evie and Jack from next door put together (with Mummy's help) for the local Scarecrow Festival. Isn't he a cracker.
Once back inside I pinned up the start of my patchwork curtains which I'm making from vintage/retro fabrics, hankies and linens. I think they will look great in our bedroom.
I'm calling them my Rough & Ready Range. In other words don't look to closely.
We missed the Vintage Home Show yesterday at Victoria Baths, Manchester because of my coughing and spluttering so I'm looking forward to July's Stockport Vintage Village and seeing all our friends again.
If you fancy it you can see the link on my blog sidebar
Humpty the scarecrow is priceless. Congrats to you neighbours.

Hope your laryngitis got better soon. I haven't got a singing voice at all, so that's how my normal voice would sound ;-) I'm loving your patchwork curtains and your neighbours' scarecrow. xxx
