The other night I was asked by someone at the Click and Clack knitting group that I was at what I missed about the US. The first thing that popped out of my mouth was, “parking lots”. Yes, parking lots. I know that that sounds kinda trite but it isn’t like I don’t miss my …
It has finally turned grey here in the Southern end of England and sort of cold. In fact, if I didn’t have a calender on the wall I would think that spring is now going backwards except for a few things. One is that the peonies are getting ready to bloom. I love peonies. My grandmother …
I am fully caffeinated for the first time in about 2 months. Yesterday, I went out and filled big blue (my trusty 52 ounce insulated mug) up with flourecent yellow Mountain Dew goodness and ice and drank deeply. It was oh so good. I think that I finally understand serious drug addiction. So, I was slurping …
Ok, so I am not going to say anything about blueballs, I just couldn’t stand not using it. I accidentally typed in blueballs the first time I tried to type bluebells. What can I say, that’s where my mind goes! So, I’m sorry if you found this post hoping for a cure for blueballs or …
Today I found the local boarding kennel. I say the as there is only one that is, what I would call, nearby. It’s in a small village (about the same size as Ivinghoe Aston) called Horton. Every time we drive through it I think or say, “Horton hears a what!!!?!?!“. It’s an illness, I really can’t help …
This was a busy weekend. On Saturday we went to Leighton Buzzard for some supplies. We decided to to go to the downtown area of the village rather than the sort of outlaying area that we usually do. I had heard rumors of a yarn shop there and the market was going on. So, we …
We have guests coming this next weekend and today is a lovely day here in Ivinghoe Aston so I decided to go on out and straighten-up the courtyard. It is the one area of the house that has been, up to this point, left pretty much as the movers placed it. There were several large …
Ok, so I know I told you that I would review Inside Crochet the next day. I am a very naughty monkey I admit. Instead of making a blob post I made cookies and went to a cocktail baby shower (more on that later). I’ve got to start saying things like “in the next post” …
Having had more than a few vet visits this past year I felt fairly confident that this one would be pretty straightforward. Take the 5 animals to the vet, have their chips read and hand in the paperwork to get their pet passports. I should have known better than that at this point but, I …
I am starting to think that a change is something that I have been needing for a little while. Since I’ve moved here, I’ve gone quite out of my normal comfort zone, sometimes several times in one day. For instance, I started a fiber group this past week. Sure, no one showed-up to the first …
