Long Bank Holiday

Yey, four days at home. Been busy sorting out bits and pieces but the best news unlike the rest of the country we hardly had any snow !!

Its generally been a good week. Tuesday evening my local embroidery group, Liss in Stitches, had a guess speaker. Denise Jones gave an excellent talk about white work. It had lots of examples from her C&G work , historic pieces and work from her degree course ,which is taking with Opus. Next weekend I will be attending the day school she is doing for the group =)

Friday morning the sun was shining and I got out to the green house. First started the clearing out in there. Then dug over the veg plot , then planted potatoes (1st earlies, 2nd eariles and main crop ), onion sets and shallot sets ! The potatoe plots look like graves as I have heaped the earth over them.

Saturday was shopping day, as the super markets round here were to be closed on sunday, we had to do the main shop then. Not DH's fav time of the week to do food shopping as the stores are VERY busy !! We did have a few flurries of snow during the day but nothing that stuck. Not like my parents and sister in Essex who sent me text messages of the snow !

Rest of the time, well I have been stitching..... LOL Bet that was a surprised. Working more on my master class door project and little on another L*K piece. I have had a search round the sewing room to make sure I had everything I need for the day school next week !!
