Finally finished this little ballet-style "cardy" for our family's newest member, who has been named after her two great grandmothers. The first photo of the baby wearing the hat my mum knitted in her last days, in readiness for the birth, together with the news of her beautiful names brought tears of joy to her Great Aunt Rebecca! Now I can send my knitting effort and congratulations card. Only 2 months late.....

Day out in London

Went to a Lunchtime Concert in St.Martin in the Fields by the Florian Quartet

---

Programme

Haydn – Op. 20 No. 2 in C

Bach – Contrapuncti 1, 4, 11, 5, and 9 from The Art of Fugue

Afterwards we had a cuppa in the crypt followed by a picnic in St.Jame's Park. Then we walked past Buck Palace and went to see the new(ish) Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park. A staggering 55,000 lives were lost (half of Bomber Command) at the beginning of the war. I signed a petition asking for further recognition for the good works of Robin Gibb (R.I.P.), including his tireless contribution towards the Bomber Command Memorial. The petition is asking for him to be given a posthumous knighthood - pointless really, since knighthoods are never given posthumously, but I signed it anyway!

Study day today.... coffee....lunch....tea 😛 I've worked here since it opened about 10 years ago and today had the first chance to find this beautiful spot at lunchtime 🌷🌾🍃🌞

Earwig o again

Rejoining the Blogosphere 3 years on. Too many happenings to mention all: our 50th birthdays, son's 21st, our Pearl wedding anniversary and THE best event - I became a Granny in 2013 👵 So much water has gone under the bridge, but life's river flows on - sometimes fast, sometimes slower, with all it's turns, bends and meanders.

De novo......

Back to Blogdom

God bless Apple Support for once

Just taken me an hour (or more?) to realise that I needed to download the Blogger App in order to use my iPad to join the Blogosphere once again.
