One of my resolutions for 2009 is to get outside every single day. Even if it’s freezing cold, like it is today, or tipping it down with rain, I want to try and get outdoors.
A good incentive is to take my camera with me, and look for tiny little things that I might not otherwise [...]
I hope this doesn’t spoil a surprise for anybody whose gift hasn’t arrived in the post yet, but this is why I’ve been a little bit busy and stressed out over the past few weeks.
There’s only one item missing from the photo call, and that’s a hat that I knitted for Paul, mostly in the [...]
These were both taken on my walk back from the local Post Office this morning.
I had my little camera (a Pentax Optio A30) on its maximum zoom capacity, so I was able to take both of these from a distance, while I was being eyed suspiciously from the top of a tree!

Snow! In October!
Usual for many parts of the world, I’m sure, but quite unusual in my little corner.
I spent an hour first thing this morning walking around with the camera, trying to catch the atmosphere of such a crisp, cold, icy morning in the middle of what ought to be Autumn.
I walked through the woods, [...]
Paul and I went for a little walk in the field closest to our house, so that Paul could take some photographs of me wearing the skirt that I drafted and made today.

I promised Rob that I’d send him a pile of photographs of Things We Did Together. As he’s still very much paper-based and all of my recent photos are online, it made sense that I’d scan the photos in and send the originals to him.
I was a bit [...]
I’ve just been updating my projects on Ravelry, and apparently I have completed 40 projects since I started knitting in 2005. Does that seem like a lot? And that doesn’t even include all the things I’ve unravelled, or the things I’m knitting right now!
Here are my two most recent knitting photographs:
The jacket on the [...]
This afternoon, after we’d become bored with scraping the dirt off the house, Paul and I went for a walk in The Wilderness. It’s part of the University campus, and somewhere I spent quite a lot of time when I was a student.
Paul took photographs, and I talked to geese. :)
It’s almost spring!
It was very cheering to pass this little splash of colour on a cold, grey morning.
