Mid-February Friday, feels a little bit of a becalmed space. I am eager for Spring to show its face with some certainty, but not wishing to wish time away. The heavy rain of the last few days has been a dampener in many ways. On a positive note I took a whole bag of stuff to a charity shop and only bought two items home, a 100% cotton jumper to do an upholstery repair and a charming 1930’s tea set to hold my earrings in one definitive area.

Both items were reduced in the sale. The tea set was £5 and the jumper £4. The upholstery job took exactly one woman hour. The earring gathering may take a little longer.

Earring gathering has become essential, we have a toddling grandchild whose eyes and fingers alight on small things in the wrong place with astonishing accuracy.

More than half way through February. Thank goodness, I am not a winter person!
