It's' a good way of using up tired veg from the salad box in the fridge.<br /><br />RR & DW - I love her writing, and her characterization too and the preserving of the language as it was spoken pre-radio. RR - I really hope her cottage ISN''T demolished. I've just read the BBC report on it, and a pox on those people who want to put a huge house in its place. They could have bought a rubbishy house somewhere else, rather one with a literary history.<br /><br />thelma - today is C-day for getting all the cards written up and overseas ones posted.<br /><br />Em - I hope that the Aztec pants were a success . . .<br /><br />Seagull Suzie - soup making is a case of using what you have/like really, so no set recipe for this. It's just the thing or a cold winter's day, whatever's in it!<br /><br />MM - the Mumbles shore isn't the prettiest one, but around the corner the Gower proper starts, with lovely sandy beaches.<br /><br />Vicky - I usually have something to sew with me. Back in the summer I had my stitch-ripper, as I was buying up 100% cotton garments to unpick and turn into quilt material.<br /><br />Kath - interesting to read your comment about clearing the room after hypnotherapy sessions. There are some atmospheres which seem to linger in the very fabric of a building, or a former possession.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-4257847255228923652013-12-01T10:16:46.286-08:002013-12-01T10:16:46.286-08:00ps, I'm going to make that soup too as it look...ps, I'm going to make that soup too as it looks so delicious :DYarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662236319781194283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-91882570837825071752013-12-01T10:15:41.721-08:002013-12-01T10:15:41.721-08:00Such wonderful quilting :D I hope you get the qui...Such wonderful quilting :D I hope you get the quilts done in time.xYarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662236319781194283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-68626466548897845032013-11-30T00:41:29.277-08:002013-11-30T00:41:29.277-08:00Yes a lovely post and a ramble through your life, ...Yes a lovely post and a ramble through your life, glad you have got your Xmas writing under way my thoughts are far away from the festival, but those hanging quilts were an inspiration.

I was really sad to learn recently that Spring Cottage at Lyth Hill which she and her husband built is under threat of demolition :(Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-59530280786641375222013-11-28T03:15:25.967-08:002013-11-28T03:15:25.967-08:00I absolutely love that photo with the plumes of sm...I absolutely love that photo with the plumes of smoke and your soup AND the patchwork.

Your quilt is looking fabulous and a great way to spend spare time. I would love to go to an auction, maybe near Exeter would be a good trip out. Port Talbot is no looker but the plume caught in the sunshine looks good.SeagullSuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857680854262709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-11901827474750879932013-11-27T11:06:35.794-08:002013-11-27T11:06:35.794-08:00A lovely post--almost as good as I imagine a perso...A lovely post--almost as good as I imagine a personal visit might be. Long waits such as you describe require some diversion [books or stitching] a bit of nourishment and hopefully an accessible lady's room! <br />Gina made a lovely pot of chicken soup to sustain us in our on-going struggle with 'The Coughing' ailment. Sick or well, I could be endlessly happy with meals of homemade soup and some form of homemade bread! <br />I must say your walk along the shore looked a bit bleak and shivery!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-40722315849931070502013-11-27T10:45:31.499-08:002013-11-27T10:45:31.499-08:00Oh yes .. long cold days at the Auctions. ..

I have always adored balloon back chairs, so I look forward to seeing your makeover.<br />I can empathise with you totally about "vibes". For 15 years I worked as a hypnotherapist and always "cleared" the room of the clients negative and/or powerful emotions, as soon as they had left.
