Happy Sunday folks!
1. This lovely creature woke me up this morning – what a handsome chap! Although he’s LOUD, I love to hear him crow – it never bothers me.
2. So an early breakfast was called for. Just look at the colour of our hens’ eggs:)
3. We had Sunday Lunch at the Village Hall a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post a photo, so this one is a bit late.
It’s just your average hall, but we enjoy many a happy ‘do’ there.
4. The ceiling has been taken down recently, but this is what it looked like when we got married nearly two years ago.
5. I pulled a muscle whilst running and this is what the Physio taped it up with!
6. A trip to Nottingham to see family included a drink in the oldest pub in England (1189AD). It is built into the bedrock under Nottingham Castle which you can just see top right.
7. Yarn delivery for Christmas presents – I need to start early to get them all done!
8. And the winner of the Giveaway is……
Well done T!
Please email me your address and I’ll post all your goodies this week:)

Love the look of your village hall, especially when it was all trimmed up for your wedding. The cockerel is beautiful! Are we allowed to know what type of gifts you plan to create with the yarn? I’m intrigued!

Yes, they’re all going to be the same lacy scarf pattern, edged with real Swarovski crystals, for seven ladies in the family – so may not be able to blog about them:)

I’m waiting for the crystals impatiently before I can start with the yarn. Leg is almost better but I’m beginning to question my sanity doing something that always results in injury!?

Your rooster is so distinguished looking. I love that pic. I have never seen a tape job like the one you got from the doctor on your leg. Luckily it is a bright pink and looks so pretty. I sure it doesn’t feel very good. I hope you heal quickly. Congrats to T on her giveaway win! The Drops wool looks so soft. Where did you get it at? Oh I would love to have a scarf made up of that. I can just feel it next to my skin. Sigh……. 🙂

He he, he is a magnificent alarm clock but he does like to have a ‘crow-off’ every morning at dawn with the cockerel down the road! I did make the bunting – all 135m of it, properly done, double sided and everything. It’s been really popular with lots of people since because it’s such a huge amount everyone wants to borrow it for various events. No.3 Son didn’t want to stop playing with his wooden sword for the photo:)

They are Cockerels until they are one year old after which time they become a Cock, hence the name. Also because it is funny and my husband is so childish he likes making jokes about his enormous Cock!!

I can’t resist the smell of bacon cooking – it makes me hungry even when I thought I wasn’t! I like to craft outside in the Summer so it makes sense to work on Christmas presents and enjoy the sunshine at the same time.
