Hello All
Well, here we are, Sunday afternoon, and I really do feel I'm on a count down now to Leicester. Expecting to hear from Frances any day now to let me know what train she's on and I can then arrange to meet up with her. oooh - 'citin' innit!
I've spent the whole of this weekend thinking 'this time next week' - honestly I'm like a kid being let out into the playground at school.
Have been busy stitching so's I've got a couple of things for Bring and Brag. With Jane mentioning in her letter that there are about 40 of us we shall have lots to see when everybody gets their items out for the B&B table.
Been wet and windy here this weekend, but even so I've soldiered on and done some clearing and tidying in the garden. Our last garden waste collection is this coming Tuesday then there's nothing until next March (ooh - that immediately brings Sewing for Pleasure to mind at the NEC!!) - tut, Brenda, concentrate.... oh yes,gardens. Didn't want to be left the whole of the winter with rotting vegetation left in the ground, so it had to be removed. What agony though! - I daresay there are others of you who love your garden (I know Barbara Stone does) but I had to clear away a whole raft of Nasturtiums. Yes I know the first really cold night we get they will go all soggy and wilting overnight, but just at the moment they are (or were) still beautifully green with lots of lovely flowers on - really really hard to tug away and dig them out. All done now though but the front garden looks a right mess until I get the chance to dig it over properly and get a few polys 'n' stuff in.
Enjoy your week all of you. No doubt like me you've got the suitcase out and things of a stitchy nature all over the spare bed so's you don't forget them. Clean knickers can wait til Friday morning........... See you there! ta-ra XX
