Making: glass spread all over the kitchen, yet again
Cooking: Chicken, pancetta & butterbean stew, recipe here. It’s even tastier the next day

Sipping: Assam Tea, no milk or sugar
Reading: The Haunting of Brynn Wilder. I’m really not sure about it, but will see how it goes
Waiting: for a family catch up at the weekend. And to walk by the sea. And to eat crispy restaurant chips. I. Can’t. Wait! First time away since last September. Phew!

Looking: at bare tulip stalks, stormy weather has blown the rest of the petals off! It’s been weeks of seeing their loveliness, so it’s ok
Listening: to cutlery chinking and cupboards being opened

Wishing: to be 6” taller
Enjoying: salads again. Tuna, artichoke & butterbean, lentil & feta, sardine, watercress & orange

Appreciating: Spring, though it’s so much like 4 seasons in one day atm
Eating: Chia Bircher made with rolled oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, topped with fresh raspberries & chopped apple. Are you rolling your eyes?

Liking: Libby the library app now has magazines. Good Housekeeping for the excellent recipes, BBC Good Food and Love Embroidery are the 3 I’ve dipped into lately
Loving: Jessie Ware’s ‘Overtime’ song on Spotify. I defy you to keep still when listening!

Buying: a new watch battery
Annoying: Old men – face masks under (big) noses
Managing: My aim to walk 1,100 miles this year (an increase of 100 miles) is going well so far. Hope I haven’t just jinxed myself
Watching: Superstore a tv comedy on Netflix. Funny, cute characters

Hoping: our figures continue to decrease, no mutations mucking everything up. People have been through enough
Wearing: a ball gown and tiara
Noticing: more flowers appearing in the garden. The clematis is looking very pinky, there are many buds on the rose and the lily of the valley are nearly all in bloom

Following: Twitter a bit more than usual, it’s largely negative so I won’t be checking too often
Sorting: well, I am tempted to sort through my WIPS, but am just sticking to the baby blanket as he’s now here (really gorgeous looking

Getting: Ready to walk to buy cheese and fruit
Coveting: New clothes
Feeling: Clumsy!
Also Feeling: Really pleased to see the crocheted wave blanket I made for Winnie being used by her new baby brother

Hearing: An aeroplane
How are you? You ok? What are you enjoying and doing at the moment?
Gorgeous baby! Have a lovely holiday.
There are two gorgeous new babies there :-)
Thanks Cathy, enjoy the bank holiday
The babies are sooo cute! 😍 We’re also waiting for one to arrive in July…! (our first grandchild…)
I’d like to see your tiara, please! 😉
Lovely photos as usual. Whose statue is it on the column?
Well done you, so much walking!
As I got my first jab yesterday, I’m having a rest at the moment. The May weather has been unusually cold&rainy but I’m not complaining – in fact I prefer it to hot which makes all flowers wilt too soon.
Take care and enjoy your salads!
Aren’t they? How exciting for you!
Sorry, the tiara is in for polishing so I can’t share a photo of it at the mo!
