Friday Five

Our week mainly in picture images......


Our daughter brought us a bouquet of yellow roses with the weekly shopping that she gets for us and I've arranged them in a vase with the last of the sunflowers, lavender and some seed heads from the garden.


Then in the evenings the candles are lit in the front living room bay window.


We bottled some of the pears and we still have many in store that we can eat fresh.


I unpicked a few of the crocheted granny squares that I had been working on, made some more and then arranged them differently.  I've ordered more wool and when it arrives I shall continue with this project.


My Persephone Biannual magazine came in the post.  It's a good read on it's own with many interesting articles and book reviews.  I ordered one of the books on the list, The Persephone Book of Short Stories. It comes with two bookmarks that are the same as the designs on the endpapers in the book. The bookmarks that are included with each book ordered are often taken from relevant period textile and wallpaper designs.  The stories included are by women writers such as Carol Shields, Rosamunde Pilcher, Winifred Holtby, Diana Athill.

We've also been busy with central heating engineer socially distanced mask wearing appointments starting with the annual service and then further visits to sort out a slight problem. Thankfully we can use the central heating which is just as well as the days are getting colder.  It's been bright and dry, but this morning we woke up to the sound of rain beating on the windows and it's still dark outside. 

I hope all is well with you.  Thank you once more for visiting my blog. Wishing you a good weekend and week ahead.
