Kitchen

Oh what a couple of weeks we have had, Thanks goes to Rod for all the hard work he did and the excellent job he did with the boiler and heating, also great work James, who has taken the kitchen apart and then rebuilt it, and done the painting as well, also thanks to John we have swapped breakfast bar stools for a table and chairs, gorgeous ones too.

The first week Bob and I had a cold and felt rotten, Bob had a nasty cough too and then I got a urine infection, the following week I developed a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotics and was covered in a rash head to foot and now have to wear an ID bracelet, not to ever take them again as could be dangerous to my health.

Now we just have to get rid of all the wood and cardboard boxes and just dust and hoover all over the house, amazing where the dust gets too,
Have a new cupboard upstairs as the water heater has gone, is also nice and warm too.

My month in January

Had a good start to the New Year, spoke to the kids which is always nice. everyone said they had had a good time. went downhill from there though, cannot start the Campervan and cannot find anyone to fix the Gearbox, don't hear back from the garages we have rung, then go to Nurse for HRT and now have High Blood Pressure, so no HRT and new pills to see if HRT causing the HBP. don't know how long it will be before Doc decides what is causing it and then what to do about it. then we had the snow, oh that was lovely, built some lovely snowmen only some people just cannot resist knocking the heads off. oh weel build it again! Bob had a blood test and his cholesterol was too high so have to go see the Doc again!!! good telling off from her. Four birthdays this month, Dad this will be his 91st so doing well, this is a bad month for me as is the month my mum died and is always hard.Had a visit from my brother who was 61 this month, he is waiting for a hip op, IF we get campervan fixed will go up and help as cannot look after himself for a few weeks. Fingers crossed e are getting a new boiler and two new radiators upstairs which will be absolute heaven.

Richard quilt

This is a quilt I made for my son Richard, who lives in Australia, this quilt is made from Flannette material so has no batting only a back.
He lives in Queensland so it only gets cold in the winter and he used it to snuggle under when watching the television in the cooler evenings.
I started this quilt on a "do your own thing" quilting week at Belstead in Suffolk in September 09.
It was a challenge as I had never done the sugar bowl pattern around the edges, but it came together really well and was very pleased with it,
It is now in Australia

Quilt for James

This is a laptop quilt I have made for James my youngest son, it is a reversable quilt, and I have had great fun making it, he is colour blind so the main colour is Black and White and mainly earth colours on the reverse.

Salisbury holiday

We went to 6d handley in August for a meeting of Astonomers with lots of telescopes. great fun was had by all. there was a beautiful church in the next grounds and a really peaceful cemetary. We spent a week here and made loads of new friends.
there was a BBQ on the Saturday which was very tasty and then as a surprise the organisers had a Planetsphire show and that was truely amazing, I had not realised the sun was quite as big as it is.
The weather was glorious and hot with a few clear nights for the Astronomers. We are off again in September to Kelling Heath for another Sky Camp so fingers crossed for the weather and nice clear nights.
