Hiya, and a special Happy Birthday to @Dovefromabove, biggest hosta hugs from me. Hiya to @chicky, @punkdoc et al. Lots of rain overnight. I plan to venture up to the tunnels for a potter as it's not so cold now.
That's the kind of thing @chicky. Mine looks like this so far It starts with 4 equal squares or rectangles which get assembled, cut and reassembled so is not complicate but you do have to pay attention to sequencing and joins and it's definitely machine patch, not for hand sewing. I can point you at some good online tutorials for beginners if you want to PM or email.

Thank you all ... you’re all very kind ... I’m having a lovely day. 🥳 lovely presents (including some coveted special brushes) and cards and phone calls ... and I’ve had Happy Birthday sung at me in both English and Russian😂
Chicky, I’m glad the immunotherapy is working for your dad 😊 My ‘Little Brother’ started his the week before Christmas so it’s early days yet ... he can’t manage without the Oramorph at present but is hoping that will change 🤞
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
That sounds like a great haul of plants @Busy-Lizzie ..... looking forward to seeing your new garden come together .....lots of pictures please 🏡. So pleased you finally got moved 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for new beginnings, and hope you settle in quickly.
Here are some photos, chicky. Mostly grass, squelchy wet at the moment so can't do anything much yet, but I'm itching to get started.
Garden from the terrace.
Gate to the fruit and vegetable gardens. I'm planning an arch over the gate with the Eden Rose my daughter gave me. The 5 pink shrub roses she gave me will go in the beds with lavender from my son and some other perennials.
This is the fence to the orchard, next year's project, more roses in front of the fence. Have bought them on an end of season offer and they are in the vegetable garden where they will stay until next year, they are very small.
These all have room for improvement.

May your artistic creativity, of brush AND pen, thrive always.
