Sunday - The sun came out at last and so did the garden gate display with Big Ted and his children’s book basket, along with sweets and treats for all.
This little lady came to stay with us for the afternoon while her Mum our neighbour Brenda went to see relations.
I had forgotten how smelly those pigs ear dog chews are and how obsessed they are with them.
Here’s little Betsy making herself comfy in the kitchen on the chair we got some years ago from the BBC1 programme ‘Money For Nothing’ presented by Sarah Moore. If you’ve never seen it, she goes to local council tips and rescues the stuff people are chucking out. Then either she or a skilled craftsperson will upcycle the item.
Sarah did our chair herself using old wool coats to recover it. The sides of the chair are made with pieces of the front of the coat and still has the pockets. You can also see where she has used the sleeves and back pleat of the coat. The seat is recovered in vintage Sanderson fabric and there’s a matching cushion which Betsy had pushed off.
Next up on my reading list is another by the writer of The Botanist which I read a couple of months ago and enjoyed. Most of the books I’m are reading are coming from recommendations by folk over on Instagram or from other blog writers.

Once the libraries reopen I’ll be going back to ours and life will be a lot cheaper. Saying that books and having my done are my treats. Some of my books I like to keep and reread them.
Monday was a day of pottering round, finishing a project to be revealed on my weekly what’s on your Workdesk Wednesday post. Then I went looking at houses for sale with a friend who is moving. Dropped some books off at another friends before picking up a bit of shopping for Mum then back home to watch the BBC1 serial ‘The Secrets She Keeps’. I won’t tell you the ending as the last episode is next week but I watched it on Iplayer.
Stay safe and socially distanced
(that’s getting harder and harder to do)
