A Perfect Day for Drying........

Today has been a glorious blustery day, perfect for drying clothes outside. There is something special about the smell of laundry, freshly dried. It makes me want to wrap myself around the clothes and drink in the smells, it is almost like a tonic. For some reason it reminds me of my childhood. I suppose drying clothes outside was the norm back then, none of these fancy tumble dryers. I must confess to owning one, and they do have their use, but I try to limit myself using it. It is about this time of year that it will go into hibernation and not be used again until the late autumn. Saving the environment and electricity costs.

An exciting weekend is planned DH2 is on his way home for a couple of days. So off to catch up with more chores and some baking.

Productivity.......

The frogs in our pond have been producing again, another sign that spring is on the way.

I am wondering /hoping that the amount of spawn this year is a sign that we are going to have a hot summer. Wishful thinking me thinks!!!

A must see film............

I have been meaning to sing the praises of this film for the past few weeks, DH and I took ourselves of the the movies a couple of weekends ago. We went to the tea-time showing of this movie and it was fantastic. It so deserves all the awards it has been wining. Good luck next Sunday at the Oscars, I shall be watching with bated breath. Go see it, this is the best film I have seen in years.

I have just finished another bag.
Before Felting/Fulling

Although when finished it is a little smaller that I had anticipated, I love the Button.
