Florence

Florence

Victoria visited this morning to help with some jobs and to earn some extra pocket money. We were going to do some gardening, but it rained on and off for much of the morning and it was also quite cold. Some of you may remember that some while ago Victoria was learning to knit, so when we had a break during the morning, we did some knitting. Victoria is now quite proficient, so some nice wool has been purchased along with a new knitting bag to keep all her bits and pieces together. So that she can practice various stitches, she will now be making some squares, using different stitches, the squares can then be sewn together to produce a ‘throw’.

I was going to blip Victoria, but I only used my iPhone and with the window behind her they were not very good. Instead you have Florence sitting on one of the dustsheets; her current favourite place to sleep. (For those of you, who do not know, Florence has only one eye, she was born like this and it causes her no pain or problems.)

Another dull and dreary day here again today. After the cloudy start yesterday, once the eclipse was over, the sun came out and shone brightly all day.
