A Walk on a Sunny Wednesday!

Good Afternoon,

So today as part of my job I had to go out and walk along the Cuckoo Trial, which is a lovely country walkway that used to be called the Cuckoo Line Railway many years ago until the Beeching report and it was closed in 1968.

It was very sunny if not a little chilly, I can feel Autumn coming along which I actually don't mind, I enjoy the changing colours, comfort food like Stew, Soups, Apple Crumble and Pumpkin Pie and getting in and lighting candles etc.

We celebrate Halloween in a big way in our house, which is not that common here in the UK, so I am feeling excited for the season to come.

Anyway back to my sunny walk...

I started at the pond, the ducks and geese all looked very happy

As I walked along there were so many blackberries..time for a spot of Blackberry picking this weekend.

This is a picture of the path itself, it's so lovely to see it starting to change...

So that's it really.. It was crazy this morning in our house first day back to school!  Can't wait to hear how it went later.

Have a great day!

Pretty Places and Easter Makes!

Good Afternoon,

So Easter weekend has come and gone, just like that! The weather on Good Friday was wet and grey on the south coast, so a trip to hobbycraft was in order, we are planning to Decopatch our window ledge in the lounge and dining room and managed to find some nice paper. More update on this to come.

Then it was time the Easter Egg hunt and due to weather this was inside,

And this was what Mittens thought of the whole thing....

And yes that is a tissue box, she has made a bed in.

On Saturday we popped out to Pevensey Bay, which is a pretty seaside town, here are some pictures of the beautiful old buildings..

There is also a really old Norman church and the Castle..

We stopped and had a very lovely pub lunch and it was a lovely finish to the day out.

Here is a picture pickle took of some daffodils

Sunday was a restful day at home, pickle eating Easter eggs (which we will have around until the summer holidays)

I however got on and made my knickers, I know it's been ages since I received the pretty box with all the items inside but here is the finish product. I really enjoyed making them, they are tricky due to the fine fabric, however I have already purchased more fabric etc to make some more.

And I also managed to make some PJ bottoms for me, I made these in around 3 hours using both Sally the old 1939 singer and my modern day machine for the finishing around the waist and ankles.

It was lovely weather on Monday, so I cut the grass and did some weeding in the garden but I have along way to go with that.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter!

Autumn walk home

As I walked to collect my Daugther from her friends yesterday evening the Autumn sunlight bouncing on the towns Common Pond looked so pretty, and as it's so warm still the ducks where very happy bobbing on the water...

When I got home I managed to get some pictures of the garden in the Autumn light..

Berries in one of our pots.

The leaves are turning golden and they looked so rustic.

The sky in this picture was so calming, that in between time of day, where daylight is fading and nighttime is about to descend.

Happy Friday!
