Homegrown...Goodness...

The garden here at 

River Cottage...

is overflowing

with Tiny Tomatoes...

With bowls full at the ready...

I am recipe hunting...

I am thinking a relish would be tasty...

I like the sound of this one...here...

or

maybe this one...here...

Maybe you my dear friend has a "fool proof" recipe...
you would like to share...

It's another rainy day
and I am needing to cook...
how about you?
Do you like to cook on rainy days too...

Crochet Top...

Hello there my lovely dears...

It has been far too long since I blogged...
I have tried to keep myself busy with a few crocheted tops over the last month...
But unfortunately not a lot of other crocheting projects...

We are still in school holiday mode which has kept me
occupied with visits to the pool, day trips out and lots of crafting with
"Little Miss"...

This is one of two swing crochet tops I have made this month..

The other is in a apple green...
I really like this pattern...super fast and everything worked out the way it should...
Which is always good when you are trying to translate a Japanese pattern...

I purchased the pattern book from this shop here...

This is what the front cover of the book looks like...

I do hope that the lull of late will not be a habbit...
and I will be back on track in blogland very soon...

Thank you all so much for your patience...and kind words...

A New Year ahead...

With blue skies shining...

The summer has eventually arrived here at River Cottage...

The days are filled with 

beach towels and bathing suits..

Garden filled with flowers...



and even picking our very own Peaches...



This is just what summer and the New Year is all about...



I am just hoping that all of this colour and sunshine...
leads to lots of inspiration...



For the last 3 weeks I haven't crocheted a thing...
I know, quite the shock to the system...
But I wanted a break to re-think...and get some new ideas...

I have missed blogging and missed catching up with all of my readers...

I hope your holiday season has been a safe and a family friendly break...

 For my northern hemisphere friends...I hope the cooler climate has been forgiving...
 and you have been able to spend quality time with the yarn and hook...
 making warm scarves and woolly mittens...

and for my southern hemisphere friends...
I hope summer has arrived and is a pleasant change
from the inclement weather we have had before Christmas...
and if you are like me and still find the time to crochet in summer...
I hope you have found some brightly coloured cottons
to make crocheting a bit easier in the heat...

Till next post...
I hope your New Year is granny good...
