    Don't know Pat because they're restricted mostly to coast but as they are Crows then i can imagine they will be.

    Pat image  that was my thought - get the new yarn before I start the sleeves so and then a slight difference wouldn't show - but hopefully it's not going to come to that now that I've checked the measurements.  I do a similar 'blending' if I have to ... it works well doesn't it image

    Morning the rest of you now that you've appeared ... have a good day folks ... getting out there ... image

    Good Morning everyone. It's a lovely morning here in the East Neuk of Fife

    we have been blessed with glorious weather since we got here daughter in law and gd came for first 48 hours as they were visiting family nearby and we were in the beach for hours. Lovely walks and dear old St Andrews just the same but with more students and more cars!

    should have a little more time to self today so will look forward to reading back and catching up but hope all well.  This was our sunset last night, beautifulimage

    We're both filthy.  Like Dove, should have been dressed up in city clothes for a day out but decided to be good and sort stuff.  Barn and cow shed done.  Lunch had.  Coffee now and then off to tackle the attic.

    I have found a purpose for all OH's old silk ties so we won't be throwing those away.  Was looking for info on a patchwork expo coming up in the Vendée in November and came across this exhibitor who does pictures with ties! - http://www.carolineregnaut.com/ Amazing.

    Pat E - my dad used to take electricity board apprentices for a week of "bonding" and team building in the Lakes every year (60s) and always brought me back Derwent crayons which I loved.   Have fun with your new set.

    Dove - bit hot for knitting sweaters isn't it?  But I suppose you'll be needing it soon enough unless we get a lovely Indian summer.  I love 3/4 length sleeves on anything - shirts, jackets, dresses, jumpers....

    LilyP - hope you are enjoying your personal time tho it's good to see family too.

    Hosta - don't moan.  Have to have some funds to pay for all your babies and treasures.

    Enjoy the sunshine everyone.

    Oh chicky - can you send some. It's fifty shades of grey here - and not in a good way image image

    East side getting all the good stuff eh LP? Glad it's good for your break.

    B'man - I've never seen a chough - although I may have and just not realised. 

    Forgot to wish you Happy Anniversary obelixx. Congratulations. My sister has her fortieth in a week or two.

    It reminds me of one of the Edinburgh Festival jokes just now (they're all good) by Mark Watson - 'I've been happily married for four years, out of a total of ten '.....

    Yesterday we had a glass of fizz before dinner and toasted our 33 years.  "Here's to the next 33" I said to OH.  Poor chap looked askance.  However, he's the one with the ambition to play golf when he's 100 and he'll need me there to keep him eating healthy food or he won't make it.

    Clear blue here too.  The attic is going to be fun!
