Enjoying chrysanthamums ...a gift for having David's lovely grandchildren sleep over. Seven, ranging from three to thirteen, complete with Pet Pillows and Sleeping-bags. No tears or tantrums.
Cooking Haggis for the Scotsman in the house. We collected this one in an Award-winning Haggis Butcher in the High Street of a Scottish Border town.
After cooking, I turn my hand to darning, in the decorative but practical Japanese Sashiko style. My dress used to be white. When it was stained I dyed it blue. Now it is fraying I darn it. With good fabric you can do that.
In between am practicing. After five weeks am finally good enough to learn a scale...never thought I'd be so pleased to play a scale!
What a lovely life, Kathy. Everything just beautiful - flowers, grandchildren, cooking, darning, playing the violin ...
ReplyDeleteYou've given me a big smile at the end of the day. It is a lovely post and it's wonderful to read that you are so happy. And again, beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing - Linda
ReplyDeleteDo miss my friends tho:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a multi talented friend. Lovely photos, love the different chrysanthemums and glad to see the Japanese embroidery is being put to good use.
ReplyDeleteKath the flower colours are so delicious, at first I thought Haggis was the bean dish and then scrolled down to the real thing. Missed you at our catch up at Anna's last week, broke my ankle on the way home though, awkward solo tumble in the dark streets of Leederville...ah! what a good age it is when you fall over on a pebble...much smaller than those huge boulders in Scotland xx flossie
