Been busy

So not much on the craft front yet, but, we have been fruit picking (raspberries and a few goosberries) and have made jam and enough goosberry puree to make fools tonight. We have also made beetroot chutney for the store cupboard.

Do you like my hat? It took an evening to knit including the flower,(though i don't know if I'll put the flower on the hat) it was made from 1 ball of Sirdar Denim Ultra. Knitting is the one thing my mum can cope with (not too much mess)

The out-laws arrive tonight for the weekend, and told us to book a table at our favorite restraunt and they would take us out, soooooo I have booked a table at Loch Fyne in Bath, as a rule we don't eat out often, so it will be a real treat. We will also (at mother out-law's request) be going to the River Cottage Canteen in Bath and to Laycock Village.

Weather permitting Jake and I will be camping in Frome with our friends J,D,and the squeezable E.

On the plus side we have lived here 13 months which means we only have 11 months left here :-)). Don't get me wrong, I love the area to holiday or to visit friends but, it has been an incredibly lonely year, Bruce has been away a lot, and when you don't go to the school gates you don't meet anyone, and the journey to get Jake from school is hard work, worth it but hard work, .
