Got into the water feeling exhausted, the heron flew past me, the ducks swam, the fish jumped and the white feather floated. Got out feeling that bit lighter. The clouds though 💙
If you need it, you need to try it.

Night out with the kids in Newcastle. Looked up in

Night out with the kids in Newcastle. Looked up in the taxi and there they were, living in their city where I grew up and loving it. Couldn’t be happier for them. And I realised they resemble my favourite album cover, swipe to see…
Celebrating the boy’s hard work in really difficult times, well done my boy, you made us all so proud. Wonderful city, wonderful people, meeting old friends and new, and I got my go on an E Scooter. Happy days!!!

This week in yarn, water and the outdoors, honestly I do work!

I’m making this for the girl. I’m loving knitting, simple rounds on big fat needles, it’s whipping up quick and should be done before true Autumn starts. I’ve got some navy and Schiaparelli pink to make one for me, it’s ok, we won’t wear them together 🤦‍♀️
Lovely morning walks and a fabulous swim with friends, positives from a busy week so far. Have a lovely weekend 💙

The light was wonderful, so I went for a swim. Simple.
Simple things.
The jumper will get done.
Sorry Wodge, walk later.

When Wodge arrived Henry (she) hid for about 10 years, she huffed and turned her heal. She’s 19 now and holding her own, comes and sits with me while I knit at night… so Wodge has huffed and turned his heal. Animal hierarchy /playing for attention. She’s still got some fight in her…

I’m knitting a return to Uni jumper for the girl, a @petiteknit stripe sweater, cream and a really gorgeous French blue stripe when I get that far…ready for the North East cold. Oh and Vera last night…pet.

Got me a bike to take me to my mum’s to borrow a knitting needle 🤣
Almost as good as the Hoppings…

International Dogs Day 2021 Felt only right to tak

International Dogs Day 2021
Felt only right to take Wodge to our favourite beach at sunset to play with his favourite ball tonight.
Wodge is nearly 11 now, he’s slowing at the end of a long walk but crazy for a ball at the beach, furiously protective of family, hates raised voices in the house, has started slump off in the evening for time on his own (like teenagers do and break your heart) waits at the door till the last one is home, moods because I’m back in the office, spoons you in bed whenever he can. Every day is Wodge’s day, a massive part of our family, happy day you gorgeous beast.

Before and after…
Finished my #ankerstee and…pulled it out to start again! That’s the beauty of knitting, you can do that…reason being it was super large, god knows what I was thinking. So I’ve ripped it back and started again, smaller size, smaller needles, tighter tension, this time probably for the dog!
Knitting in the car again, dreaming of projects new in neon and fluff….but I couldn’t leave it to go in a pile of great unworn. Oh and a 3pm post, happy dance and not at work, love my job, love a break…

So again, I’m knitting an #ankerssummershirt by Petit Knit Using Sandnes Garn Line yarn, a beautiful drape cotton/viscose/linen mix in a NEAUTRAL colour.

Visited Kew Gardens yesterday, it’s beautiful. Just the simplicity of plants and nature, int it grand? How does nature do that? I can’t wait to go back, the textures, colours and pleats in the leaves are amazing, so like textiles…lush.

Car knitting again, this time London bound to see

Car knitting again, this time London bound to see my sister and her family. I cannot wait to squeeze those little people and hold them tight, this is a three hour warning kids to hide because Aunty Amy is coming, might wear pink lippy and paint their cheeks pink.
Meanwhile… I’m knitting an #ankerssummershirt by Petit Knit Using Sandnes Garn Line yarn, a beautiful drape cotton/viscose/linen mix in a NEAUTRAL colour, but doesn’t it look fab with pink?!

An afternoon in Manchester yesterday, a little shopping and mooching with my girl. I used to do this all the time Pre-Covid and now hardly ever. I’ve changed, the world has changed. So lovely to see, the bright colours, street art and people, so good to see the hills and water of home too.

And the boy and his girl are home now ♥️.
