Moving forward diary....... Books & Vintage wallpaper

I’m going to have to find this pile of library books a place of their own otherwise they’ll get mixed up with the massive collection of books I have strewn all over the house. 

These are what I was given when I went to the local library to try out their Request and Collect Service. I’m mightily impressed with how it works.There’s not even a time limit on how long I can keep them.  I was told to bring them back when I’ve finished.

I do miss going to the library I’ve used the same one for over 60  years.  On the plus side I’m going to save myself a fortune on Amazon now.

This lovely ghost painting on wood arrived from Instagram friend Bodkincreates.  She’s ready to take her place next to the Sue Dove canvas I have in my craft room.  Devon artist Hesta painted one of my Mum on holiday in the Lake District a couple of years ago.  I liked it so much I kept it and asked her to do me another to give to Mum.  My niece Sophie is also smitten with Hesta’s paintings and is building up a little collection of her own.

There was another bit of excitement yesterday when Postman Sid delivered 

two lots of vintage wallpaper that I found on the internet.

I’m going to mix them in with the ones I’ve already used to make a patchwork wall in the craft room.

The weather was so nice on Friday after days and days of rain, snow, fog and sleet.

I rang Mum and asked her if she wanted to go to our favourite local farm shop.  

So basket and mask at the ready off we went, Mum wearing her mask and the car windows open.

Back home and a good hot cuppa was needed.

As bright as the day had been it was chilly.


It’s Saturday morning now as I’m posting this and that means we will

be listening to Sounds of the 60’s with Tony Blackburn on Radio 2.

No plans as yet for the day ahead.  I’ll come back to you on that one.

Do one little thing today that will make you smile.

We are moving forward folk, big thumbs up to us all.
