A little break...

... from the rain.

All is quiet. If rather wet.

And a familiar face has appeared.

April showers...

...have been most welcome.  To be really picky, it would have been nice to have a dry Bank Holiday Monday, but it would not be a Bank Holiday if it did not rain.

These fabulous clouds were building up to a nice shower for someone later today, but I was lucky and the strong breeze blew them away. 

Here come the next set of clouds.

What has appeared in my garden?

Some rather lovely flowers have appeared  and my knitted piece for the Spinners Weavers and Dyers Exhibition in the summer has sneaked in for a photo opportunity.  The brief is anything created on a six inch ring. I took some hand spun Bleu du Main ( which to be honest is too harsh to make anything wearable with anyway) and let some i-cord take a walk.

What is it?

No idea.

I suppose I could kid myself it was something to do with the way of the world in the 21st Century; more form; less substance; no structure; little direction. The truth would be that it was quite difficult to come up with anything that fitted in a six inch ring. So here we have it, possibly entitled, I will know what I want to be when I grow up. Oh, I think that is the title to my autobiography too.

It is only March but...

... the forecast was for mild weather, so I could not resist the little commute to my car share buddy's house on my bike. In fact, it was a bit windy and not hugely warm, but I enjoyed the ride and just had to stop for a photo opportunity at Bitton Railway Station.

The trains we not running, but someone will I am sure spend many happy hours restoring this equipment to it's former glory.

I am kidding myself that I will attempt the whole journey to work sometime this year.

Thirty miles round trip?  Busy roads? Hills? Yeah right!
