Repairing

 The Repair Cafes have become a really important part of my life. Useful, sociable, educative,  and fun...

This was Halesworth on Saturday, a nice wee Frister Rossmann getting a legal plug and a bit of attention..

Machines like this are so much better than any modern white-plastic-wonder, and this one should last for many more years of trouser-bottoms, curtains, and little quilts...

Supermarket Car Parks...

 ...seem to have the Very

Best Bushes

Little Pleasures of Life

 A phrase John and I used frequently, and a new series, with the idea of finding a little more delight in a sometimes rather tiresome daily round

I tipped the barrow over so it would not fill with rain. Ants, ever-resourceful, made use of the cover

While cutting the grass (and, incidentally, recovering my errant keys, this lovely feather, about 2 inches long, was given

And, fresh from the garden, raspberries and strawberries for my pudding

Woodpecker, peckish

And another small project finished, quilted, bound, and tbh, better than I thought I could do...

Tin for Ten

10 inches square, horrid sparkly fabric and light blue supplied by the Modern Group, all improv outer blocks in Oakshott

Another job just about done...
