None of that round here, it's too conservative. (large and small C - I'm still grumpy about the election results). It's been alternatively cold, wet and windy here all week, but today I did detect a bit of real warmth in the sun, for a second. Have a great weekend my lovely. xxGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-42222314392527109002015-05-06T13:51:29.721+01:002015-05-06T13:51:29.721+01:00Beautiful yarn bombing!

I mean they will grow practically anywhere. I am pretty vexed about it. I have been hardening off veggies for the allotment, but have been scuppered in my weekend plans with all the lurgy that has descended here. I am hoping to get up this week, and write my first proper post about it all. I love a fair. Used to get very excited about the one that came to The Downs every year. Did you ever go? Do you remember The Zipper? I lost all my money from my Duran Duran stylee jacket on there once. Hope your cold abates soon.
