The weather has improved so much here lately, its as if summer has begun in Autumn. We have embraced walking in a big way lately, doing 10-15 miles most Sundays. It's not all hard work, we take a picnic (with fat creams cakes), and the rug, and have a bit of a lie down and relax too.
The lack of blogging does not reflect a relaxed state on the sewing side of life. I have been sewing up a storm, and hoping to get my final Bad Bears into the store very soon.
Twichells. (Nottingham speak for lane). Taken on a walk around the village at lunchtime.
This little fellow decided that our hedge would make a good place to visit the other day. We have been visited regularly by this duck, and his missus, until recently.
I think they must have found a better place to raise the kids . . .
How was your Easter?
Mine was action packed. We managed to do all the things we planned, including a gorgeous walk up and down hills and through rape fields.
This week I have done something adventurous and life changing. I have handed in my notice at work, and will finish on the 11th of May.
We have been talking about starting up our own graphic design business for over a year now, so not incredibly spontaneous, but necessary for my sanity!
So. . . exciting times ahead, hopefully the end to the disillusioned designer, and the birth of a new creative one!
As a result of my 9 to 5.30, or 7pm job (at the moment), invading my usual relaxing, toy-making time, there is an absence of any works in progress, and nothing fun or exciting to report on that front.
So, I am going to start posting a weekly scene from around my village.
I have always been a bit of a city slicker, but am now a country bumpkin well and truly. In our village we have a post office, shop, newsagent, a hairdresser and beauty therapist. I love the fact that we can get on our bikes, or put on our boots and be beside a river, looking at a sky full of stars, or buying some home made cakes from the farm shop down the road. Its lovely.
