Week Twelve

This new iron must have been the cheapest in the shop, otherwise why on earth would she buy one this colour? (Yes, Wanda, I bought it from Argos, it was reduced, and hence the cheapest in the shop, but it works - which my old one didn't!)


Ooh, airmail paper and envelopes, what are they for? (I have another new penfriend, who lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA)


Cream tea at the Peppermill, Devizes (with our lovely friends, Jean and Mo)


She's wallpapering the dining room at long last (Thanks for your assistance, Wanda)


These are picked from the garden


I think I maybe ought to start a bit of serious reading (Wanda, I suggest you start with Bertha-size Your Life, by the lovely Jane Carroll before moving on to the hexaflexagons)


It's so cold, I think I'll wrap up warm, do you think they'll notice?

Week Eleven, during which we had an Indian Winter (the opposite of Indian Summer, if there is such a thing)

Wanda with the birthday boy



Wanda admiring our new dresser


Last week Wanda was enjoying the crocuses, now the horrible icy winds have blown them over and they are not happy


Wanda, like me, really enjoys the smell and feel of a nice pile of clean laundry


We recently received this "Morning Glory in a tin" from our Springtime/Easter swap partner Jille


We took Wanda with us up to Cradle Hill on the edge of Salisbury Plain, she enjoyed the views and the blue skies

Week ten, and we really thought spring had arrived

My Springtime/Easter swap parcel is ready to go in the post


The floor fitters came, and were kind enough to let Wanda have a look at their super-duper electric floor saw


Dont worry Wanda, it's 100% beef


 A sunny day, and Wanda tiptoes through the crocuses


We bought a few bulbs for the garden and some compost accelerator


She's trying to hide among the cards, but we can see you, Wanda


What, more wine?

Week 9, and spring is on the way at last

Wanda wonders why she doesn't get a beer of her own to drink


Peering out of the bus on the way home from our trip to Salisbury market


Wanda wants me to read her The Star Pirate


Checking out the snowdrops


Helping with seed sowing


Wanda was really hoping the lads would get three points today
