Hosta - I really enjoy QI, even more so with Sandy T in charge. She's very quick with her ripostes. OH is learning to like it.
Our new gardening friends came with their two daughters, about 5 and 7, and we've had a good time. After the tour, I introduced them to an English cream tea with scones and strawberry jam and thick, slightly soured cream. No clotted cream here. The parents and younger daughter loved it but no 1 wasn't having any of it.
OH is now taking the dogs out while I think about what to do with a guinea fowl and get myself organised for tomorrow's willow weaving.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

You're welcome. There are 6 left plus plenty of jam and cream. We had coffee too Joyce. Don't do tea.
I have no idea what we're going to be doing. I've done an obelisk in the past and was very pleased with it but it didn't survive the Belgian winter. I've also done a sort of spherical, hollow thing in which we put a string of fairy lights which we poke thru the holes. Not putting it outside after what happened to the obelisk. I'd be happy with another obelisk or some hurdles but not a sculpture as I'm not artistic, just crafty.

Ha! It seems he has tender paw pads as more have been doing the bleeding thing tho not like the first time. He is very careful about climbing and jumping and prefers to run around indoors where the surfaces aren't as rough.
I found it very therapeutic when I did it before. Bit like fabrics - different weaves for different effects and textures and uses. This is the obelisk I made - Sat in its anchoring box to dry out for a few days so it didn't grow.

Hi everyone hope you are all keeping warm. Odd here out the front (faces North) snow is blowing strongly from the east, (up the road) out the back flakes are just drifting down gently, just shows what shelter a hedge or two can bring. Successive gardens all doing their bit to break up the wind I guess. Poor Camellia loosing it's flowers already & they only stated to come out this week.

A cream scone would go down well with my coffee just now.
