2010 - Happy New Year - Snow Beauty

Happy New Year and wishes for all things good for 2010.

This morning I took a walk on a most beautiful snowy, sunny morning. While it was freezing cold, there were very few cars and very few footsteps on the lovely fresh crunchy snow. Needless to say I had my camera with me and took a few photos. So I hope you enjoy them.

Not far away is the canal and this is Abbey Bridge. This is just about 5 mins walk from the centre of town.
This is a picture taken last night of my lantern in our conservatory. I love candlelight.

This afternoon we took a walk on this lovely road. No cars and beautiful sunshine anad scenery.

The little village of Sallins is home to many boat owners who live here. The smell of smoke from the little fires is very welcoming, although I'm not sure this type of living is for me, I'm too fond of my home comforts.
After our walk we took some sustinance in a local hostelry, which was lovely and cozy. Really enjoyed our first day of 2010. Hope yours was good too.
Tomorrow I'll get around to posting some knitting pictures. While I haven't been blogging, I have been knitting though and I just need to upload some pictures.

Me and Ravelry etc

Intermittent blogging for me lately. I've had a very busy time for the last 2 months, and so have not had my mind on blogging. Have been doing some knitting, photos later, but only small projects which is only using tiny pieces from my stash. Thanks to Isobel and Diane who suggested 'flashing your stash' a while ago, I had to look the stash in the eye and feel guilt ridden for having so much and so little time to do anything with it. And then I won and got a cake of beautiful Rowan yarn to add to the stash!!!! My daughter had her debs at the beginning of September, DH graduated with his BA in Psychology, then my Mam took sick and so no knitting much Then on Thursday last, I got my invitation to Ravelry. Oh my God what am I going to do with this? Now fellow bloggers I've copied you all in setting up the blog in the first place and I've really enjoyed it, so I just had to apply also to join Ravelry. Hopefully this will be a smooth ride for me, cos I'm not great

Knit Lit

Recently I've been reading some Knitting fiction. First up was 'The Friday Night Knitting Club' by Kate Jacob .This is the story of a single mother, Georgia, who has her hands full with her yarn shop and raising her teenage daughter. Her Friday knitting club is the place where friendships are made and problems are discussed and helped. This book was slow to get going and indeed I was half way through before I really got into it. I suppose I was slightly disappointed in it having heard all the hype about the movie being made with Julia Roberts starring. I will go and see it though for the curiosity. Next was 'A Good Yarn' by Debbie Macomber .This is the story of Lydia who has had health issues. She sets up a sock knitting class in her yarn store and through it we meet the lovely people who attend it, and their interesting lives, and the lovely friendships created through it. This book also includes patterns for knitting socks. The characters in this book are well dra

My Mam

My Mam, Carmel, passed away on the morning of Nov 21st last after a short illness. She was gentle, kind, loving, caring and giving. We will miss her terribly. I don't think it has dawned on us yet. I will miss the long phone calls, the chats, the gossip, the visits. May she rest in peace.
