Nicola knitted Anne Hanson’s Honeybee Stole for me. It took her the best part of a year, and matched my outfit perfectly. She even worked on it while she was in hospital, in labour with her daughter Gwen. Now that’s dedication!

Paul and I got married on Hallowe’en, which was absolutely ages ago, and whilst I showed you the honeymoon pictures, I haven’t yet posted any pictures of the wedding itself!
Because most wedding photos are of people you don’t know, I decided to concentrate on showing you the things that we made ourselves, or that our [...]
These are all the things I’ve made during 2009 - or at least all the ones I’ve remembered to photograph!
There doesn’t seem to be very much knitting in there, which surprises me, although I did spend most of the summer working on two large items which aren’t finished yet.
I also still haven’t really shown you [...]

This is the big fat frog that hopped out from underneath the broken fence as we were pulling it down. He didn’t seem too keen to get out of our way - Paul had to rather unceremoniously pick him up and plop him down in next door’s plant pot!
This morning, whilst wandering around on Flickr, [...]
These are the photos from Centre Parcs - mostly of owls.
I’m quite pleased with these, although I missed a lot of great shots of the owls by being much too slow!
These are the photos from London - mostly of the aquarium and the zoo.
Sadly a lot of these are either out of focus, or focussed [...]

We came back from our honeymoon to discover that a big chunk of the garden fence had blown down in the storms, most of my photos from London are out of focus, and I have several hundred emails to wade through. Also the house is a mess, there’s a ton of laundry to do, and [...]
I’m just dropping in for a flying visit to upload the photos from the first part of our honeymoon - you can see them all here.
Yesterday we had a Falconry session in the morning, and an Encounter With Owls in the afternoon. This enormous chap was featured in both. His name’s Woolly, and he’s an [...]
Look who I met today. Isn’t he adorable?
This little grey squirrel spent all morning running about in the rain, digging holes in my back garden and burying his stash of winter goodies.
When he’d finished, he decided that it would be a good idea to sit on my fence and bark/honk/screech at me for a good [...]
