Autumn Days

 
Hello to you.
Hope you've all enjoyed a lovely weekend?
We've all been affected here by some kind of virus...I think, fingers crossed, we are all getting rid of it now. Fresher's flu my neighbour calls it as it always seems to happen when the children go back to school/ college in September. 
I've been anticipating the new crochet along (CAL) which has been organised by two of my favourite blogs.
I haven't got a copy of cute and easy crochet yet but I'm hoping to join in, in some way.
Sounds like it could be fun.
 

A busy weekend all in all. We've enjoyed some lovely sunny weather, perfect for getting outside before the chillier months set in. 
I had an urge to make a toadstool the other night so a stitched up this little pretty. I've pinned it on my coat for a bit of extra colour.

Although Autumn has arrived I still have some lovely blooms about the place...
1, The broken coffee pot with some sunflowers and hydrangeas from the garden.
2, A bargain from home base 50p pretty in pink cyclamen.
3, Lovely rose in the sun, smelling so sweet.

More photos from our walks.
1, An amazing view from the tops of the mountains local to us. Views out over the castle.
2, Sunshine breaking through the aqueduct.
3, Sheep!
4, My daughter getting into her photography down by the river.

Some photos from the garden this week.
1, Purple cauliflower.
2, Cosmos still in bloom.
3, Spider on a cut stem.
4, My first crop of purple sprouting broccoli.
 
Thank you so much for my lovely comments on the last post, I always love to hear from you and thank you to my new followers - lovely to have you here with me.
Hope you all enjoy a lovely week.

Happy-pea day

Hello to you.
Hope you're all well?
North Wales, I am happy to report, is in the midst of a heat wave!
I've been busy with one thing and another since my mid-week post.
Still had a little hooky time.
I've been making these simple purses for my craft sale.

They're quick and easy.
Inspired by this month's issue of simply crochet, I've gone a little flower mad!
Some more lovely flower bunting (much more professional than mine)
Already made two strings of bunting.

On the weekend I enjoyed some Daddy-Daughter time.
I relaxed by the river while Dad did some fishing.
The river was so still and quiet it really was lovely to spend time there.

Here are some photos from my garden this week...
Cheeky Mullein Moth caterpillar.
Peas!
Mini harvest Rhubarb, Black Currents and Radishes. 

The aroma from the Night Scented Stock is intoxicating for such a small flower.
Hope you're enjoying a sunny week too.
