Catching up Tuesday

 Thank you for popping by, it feels like a long time since I was last writing a blog post. I have naturally been spending time out in my new Mini, it’s so much fun to drive and very different to my last one.

We’ve also been getting organised for our forthcoming trip. The cases are down from the loft and Coco is eyeing them suspiciously every time she goes upstairs! Little does she know that she has a little vacation of her own coming up, spending time with her ‘friend’ Daisy 😆 Paul is practising his Italian and I am making lists of things to pack! 

Our son’s dog had a horrible accident at the weekend in the woodland near their house. He went romping through the undergrowth and speared himself on a sharp branch of a tree. So we had unexpected childcare duties while he had an unexpected emergency surgery to sew him back together again.


As you can see, he is none too impressed with that cone!

The weather here has been gorgeous and the garden is looking good.  Paul has been working hard out there and I've helped now and again but all credit should really go to him!


The peonies are beautiful this year and it was lovely to pick some to bring into the house


I’ve been ‘Knitting and Nattering’ and learning how to make a colourful blanket without having to join any edges, you join as you go.



Right, I think it is time to say ‘arrivederci’ and ‘hasta la vista’!

Ciao!

Not sure when you leave (or if you are already gone) but I hope you have the best time on your vacation! I hope you are able to "practice" eating like an Italian as much as you do speaking like one!:) Oh my, it will be a delicious vacation! Your garden is a beauty!! All that hard work has paid off very well! Enjoy it. And your vacation. And summer!! Hooray!!

Hope you have the best trip. I know you will hate to leave Coco and Coco will hate to be left with Daisy but everyone will survive. I am so sorry about your other grandpup's accident. Hope he is soon out of that shameful cone.

Your yard does look lovely. A pretty, peaceful place. My Paul has worked hard on our yard this year, too. And last night we had help from Mother Nature in the form of rain!! Yay!!

The new quilt or afghan is lovely. My library offers beginning crochet lessons on Tuesdays at 4 pm. If PC would just go to baseball practice that evening, I wouldn't feel bad about trying that.

Glad you are enjoy your car so much.
