September...ing

 Loving - this bunch of Lisianthus given to us as a new house welcome.

Eating - waste free dinners. I consider it a personal triumph that my children will eat courgette soup. The courgettes were given to me and the croutons were the dry ends of our bread.

Listening - to one of my favourite comedy programs on radio 4. Listening to Tom Wrigglesworth is one of the best antidotes to world news.

Buying - a clock (last month) from the antique centre with a timer on. 

Repairing - my jeans again. A hole is appearing every month at the moment but I am enjoying adding to the 'artwork'.

Picking - damsons from a tree in the field. This is Andy's response to the question, "Show us your plums!" I made jam and he made three gallons of wine.

Mastering - the art of making a waffle.

Enjoying - the appearance of a rainbow. I saw it as a sign because the building inspector came two hours later and passed off our new house for building regulations.

Making -  a cushion for Beano to have in his cosy corner in the utility.

Hosting - a Sunday dinner for our friends and going all out on the table decor.

Selecting - flowers from my friend who is in her first year of growing and selling cut flowers in the UK. 

Preserving - apples as chutney. 

Having - my first day on my own without the children since March. I was a little concerned that being out in the middle of no where in our new house on my own would feel lonely but it was fabulous. 

Finishing - a pair of stash busting socks using three different bits of sock yarn leftovers (all drops fabel) but still managing to achieve pattern matching. Win win.

Feeling - happy. In fact I told the dog on our walk this morning. He was happy too. 

Thanks for popping in. Jo xxxx
