Pairs - then and now

My pair this week are then and now comparing seasons.

The first photograph was taken in the summer on a lovely sunny day with all the nettles and green growth.

The second photograph was taken this week just as the rain was starting! It is a lovely place to walk as it is along the old railway track so it's nice and flat.

Tara has a good time as it is a very popular with dog walkers, she loves to meet other dogs and people.

Me on Monday

Waving to Sian and everyone reading my blog.

Another quiet kind of weekend as I am still resting my back.  After seeing Sian and Helena's crochet a few weeks ago I decided to get my crochet hook out and start some crocheting.  I have quite a lot of left over cones of 4ply yarn as I used to own a knitting machine, I have always liked crocheting squares and many years ago made several blankets.  I will be doing the standard granny squares and also trying out some different patterns just for variety.

The pattern I was using was quite confusing when it got to the corners so I have changed it slightly, I will probably do two more rows as being 4 ply they are not very big, it won't be much fun sewing lots of tiny squares together!


Sunday I completed some more project life pages from November, 2014 is almost done now.

This page shows my son waiting to play The Last Post on remembrance day, and his birthday a few days later. Also Christmas trees at the garden centre which arrived in November, they are in pots so I assume they were rooted!

Another November page when I still had flowers in my garden.

Me on Monday

I've not been blogging for a couple of weeks due to more problems with my back.

This weekend has been a restful kind of weekend.  I am trying to be kind to myself and rest as it will recover if I don't do the housework (that is hard!!) don't cut the grass, or do any gardening and just be careful.

I find short walks help so Sunday I drove to the park, which although is only a mile away and we usually walk there, I knew I would not be able to walk that far, so that Tara could have one decent walk over the weekend.

The flower containers in town are looking splendid with their colour scheme of red and purple:

Pairs - Far and Near.

Went for a walk today in the sunshine (at last) to get some geocaches, this lane was looking very pretty with all the daffodils blooming.

In the photo above you can see the large stone near to the telegraph pole.

As I got closer I realised the stone could be a mounting block, placed tere many years ago so that people could easily mount their horses.
