Hi there Thanks for popping in! I have been beavering away for two days, getting the demonstrations prepped for Sunday’s TV show, 3-5pm. Have been dying to settle down with a cuppa, and tell you all about the Coronation Tea Party we attended on Wednesday! But I really had to bank the demos first, and make sure I know what I’m doing on the day! Now the boxes are loaded, the producer notes have been written, I am off the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Is it really Tuesday again? The weeks/months are flying by! Bit of a scramble here today! Wanted to get ahead of the TV Prep game for this coming Sunday 3-5pm.

And lovely Carron, she who is going to work her magic on my mop,…

So much has happened since the last time ; it will be good to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hope you are having a great weekend? Want to introduce you to two friends: Earle & Gola. They are our Paul’s family actually!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Before I carry on watching “The Diplomat”, a Netflix Series which has me hooked, let me peep out of the window with you, and show you a thing of beauty which stands in the garden here… What a wonderful magnolia! And such a glorious splash of pink! They grow so well round here. We planted this one about four years ago, and it has shot up. The gardens round here are of full of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Rainy Sunday, so a perfect day for crafting. Pottery this morning. Made a start on the Totem Pole. This could take a while, but hey! Who’s in a rush?? You just need a little vision and a lot of patience… Oh. And a ruler and pencil… Remember the sketch? Well, this is the base piece. That’s 6 hours so far. But who’s counting? It’s a good job I don’t have to make a living…
