Used to make all my own curtains and cushion covers (get a much wider choice of fabrics than you do ready made curtains), and dressing up clothes for the chicklets. Learnt at school - useful life skill that they don’t seem to bother with now.
Well done to your niece Dove - great results that will send her on to the next step with a bag of confidence 😀
We would say "skin a fairy" over here but he's a foreign import. From Surrey I believe... #3 unstepson did exceptionally well in his GCSEs too. Now he can concentrate on learning to drive...gawd help us....
Just waiting for the removal men, moving from tiny cottage to bigger one under 10 mins away in Norfolk. New one has a garden, 2 loos and a kitchen that fits more than 1 person.
Been a very busy 2 weeks, all the family to stay in France then long drive to Norfolk, had friends to stay, then packing. Won't have Internet or phone from a bit later today until it's sorted.
Will need to unpack then paint the bedroom before the carpet comes. Then back to France for 10 days, then back to Norfolk in September.
We did have a lovely break the other day when it was hot. Went to Southwold, had a seafood platter in a fish restaurant by the harbour. Then a walk on the beach, where I used to holiday as a child when we stayed with Granny. OH went for a swim, water wasn't that cold, but I hadn't got my swimsuit.
See you in a week or so.

Hosta, about kidney stones. There are different sorts. My sons get the tiny weeny ones with sharp spiky bits, think they are acid. They both have mild gout, but it can be controlled by diet. Because the stones are very small they pass quite quickly but it is very very painful. Luckily neither son has had them for a while now, sensible eating may have sorted it.

Used at any time of the year to suggest it being "unseasonably" cold.
