Knitting down the stash

Happy Easter! I hope this post finds you health and happy. I have been enjoying seeing all the creative baking being shown on Instagram at the moment. Social media at its best - inspiring and encouraging others. One of the great joys of being at home for those of us who like to cook or...

Adaptation

New ideas to break the monotony of home existence - bringing the inside outside! Hello! I hope this post finds you as well and as safe as can be. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments of welcome in my last post. I too, have thought about you a lot in the intervening years...
