November...ing

Welcome to November...ing

Remembering - Family members on poppy day while making knitted and crocheted poppies for a community exhibition.


Making - A new going out top for the Winter season in stretch velvet.



Buying - A king size duvet and cover for our king size bed. Enough of those night time draughts and making do with the old one that is a double and too small.

Building - Internal stud walls. Rooms are taking shape now in our new house. Today I took a photo from the top level of the scaffolding.



Thinking - How lucky we are to have such great opportunities.

Loving -  November Skies at home, our current back door view.



Wondering - When to take blog photos now that we have long nights and shorter days.

Eating - Stuffed peppers with pesto potatoes and feta cheese.



Growing - Cress in tights!



Getting - A whole box of fruit and veg for £1.50. It is part of a supermarket's No waste policy.



Watching - The last blooms on my Strawberry Hill Rose. They must be the last surely?? It has been producing flowers since June.



Disliking - Scraping the car windscreen in the mornings.


Considering - Where to book a holiday for 2019.

Enjoying - Catching up with some family scrapbooking.



Deciding - What to keep out of a big new stash of donated yarn. Some can stay and some has to go...decisions, decisions.

Admiring - My daughters creativity to turn a little handful of  pre-knitted flowers from the bottom of the aforementioned bin bag into a new tea cosy.




Feeling - In a much better place working three days a week.

  2. I am so glad it is working out for you not working full time, very soon you will wonder how you ever had time to go to work. What a bargain on the fruit/veg box and the cress in tights was a real delight.

  3. Where are you? I think those are the Stretton Hills. We lived at Picklescott for 20 years and I really miss it. (We are now near Welshpool) And which supermarket is this? Could tell son & daughter-in-law about it. They live in Dorrington.

    1. They are indeed the Stretton Hills. I got the veg from Lidl in Madeley but I haven't seen them do it again! I must have been in the right place at the right time. Thanks for dropping in. Jo x

    Great bargain the veg box was, lots of lovely things in there.
    We watched the November sun setting whilst enjoying a flask of tea in a countryside layby this afternoon after a visit to an out of town garden centre.

  8. The view from your new house is stunning. Lovely countryside, too. I am not familiar with your part of the world but it sure looks nice. I wonder if our local supermarkets have veggie boxes like that? I haven't noticed but I don't do the grocery shopping much. As Gracie says, much to celebrate in your life just now. I hope the rest of November is as good as the beginning. xx
