Lockdown Diary - Moving forward

I’m coming out of hiding.

Lighter days, warmer weather.

A lovely thoughtful best friend

to help me work through a difficult time.

And now we are off.

The garden tidy up has started.

There’s lots to do so we made sure we had a spot

to stop and sit awhile between busyness.

The craftroom clear up can wait until rain stops play

on outside work.

Hope you’re all having a lovely Easter 🐣

and everyone is safe and sound.

Thrive ....

Thrive..... that’s what we are all trying to do.

It’s a year since my lovely Auntie Gladys passed away.

I have to admit that I’ve not found it easy.  I miss her and seem

to have been reliving every day of the last weeks she was with us.

To keep busy we have at last moved the office into the back

bedroom and made a pretty guest room where it used to be.


It’s all ready now for my sister visiting in May.


It’s nice to walk into these two rooms without falling over stuff.

Only thing is look where it’s all ended up.

In my craft studio.  It feels like it will never be straight again.

With the charity shops being closed it could be awhile before

it’s cleared.

I’ve no idea how I’m going to get to my desk never mind do

any course work.

Not to worry it will come right in the end I’m sure.

In the meantime please excuse my absence.  Normal

service will be resumed soon.

Hope folk are looking forward to meeting up with

friends and family Fingers crossed for some good weather.

Take care

Excitement up North and a world tour.

Good grief there’s not been this much excitement in months.

We wondered what was occurring as we entered Bacup for our

weekly market shop.  There were folk stood around everywhere,

lots of white vans and police.

Turns out they were recording series 3 of Brassic. We’ve never

seen it as it’s on Sky, which we don’t have.

The beautiful northern girl actress Michelle Keegan was there.

She’s quite tiny.  We stood and watched for a while and I got told

off for taking this picture.  They seem to do a few takes, either that or

they just film in short bursts.

The lad in the pink, don’t know his name, apparently he’s the main

male character, came over to us and said it was refreshing to see people

dressed nicely and that we looked great.  We thanked him kindly, not

having a clue who he was.

Then blow me if nearby Hebden Bridge wasn’t featured on

Interior Design Challenge the same night.  They were revamping three

eateries, all of which we’ve been in.

Well I feel like I’ve been on a world tour in a day.

My morning berries are from Spain, Morocco and Guatemala 

There’s some airmiles there.

Can’t let Friday pass by without a couple of Mum’s

Facebook cartoons.

and we may as well have an outfit pic to finish.

Rocking the urchin/Diane Keaton look.

Have a lovely weekend.

Keeping smiling and maybe join Annie over at her

Oh eck ! There’s not a desk insight ....... WOYWW

Oh eck ! It’s Wednesday and although it’s been a busy

week since our last desk hopping meet up with Julia, I’ve

already blogged about what I’ve been upto so I’m a

bit short on desk pics sorry.

I can show you the beautiful mosaic heart I received yesterday.

Made by Helen Swanton a British crafter.

It’s a gift from my sister in Oxford who I haven’t seen since October.

I’ve joined the No Rules Textile Society, an online group

set up by textile artist Jayne Emerson.

NO RULES TEXTILE SOCIETY

We had our first online meeting on Saturday and had been asked

to put together a mood board to work out our style.

I’ve worked out I’m  a visionary, meaning I like to see things

on display.  Like on open shelves, on hangers, peeping out of

containers etc.  If you’ve ever visited our house you’ll have

seen for yourself.

I was pretty impressed with my zooming skills as I’ve only

ever done Pilates classes online.  See you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Goodness knows what the other members thought of my broad Lancashire accent.

Here’s my zoom face haha.

I’ll have something to show next week as we have a

monthly project and the prompt for this month is 

TUFTED

All I could think of at the time was Tufty the squirrel.

Hope you’re all doing ok and staying positive.

The sun has got his hat on this week and there

are signs of new growth in the ground.
