Simply..an update....

It's been the best year ever for sweet peas - they just keep coming.

I got my new shoes. In grey - lovely and very useful, but not nearly as exciting as the fuchsia pink version which I could not find in my size anywhere.

The canaries have been spotted in the next village along the shore - three miles away.

I had eight days to myself and took some 'time out' just to do whatever I felt like doing, to think, to walk, and to ride the bus (which is where I scribbled down most of my Life List (see yesterday's post). Have you managed to get some time to yourself?

On a brief visit to beautiful York I helped put on a quilt show. I met up with lots and lots of old friends. It was wonderful. (More soon!)

Sunny days and autumn in the air, but lots of things are flowering for a second time and the bramble harvest is amazing.

Oh, and I've found a new favourite book...

Thank you for the lovely welcome back comments, and for reading.
