Catch up time again


I have (finally) completed a couple of hand-sewn projects this week.  One is a gift so I can't share it yet, but this hexi piece is a table runner.  I just have to cut out the backing for it and sew it in place.  

We have a fault with the broadband at the moment, hence not posting as it takes forever to load a photograph.  BT are meant to be coming out today or tomorrow to fix it.  

However, we had a viewing on Sunday and they loved the house.  Everyone does, but no-one's bought it yet . . .  We are on a short-list of what sounds like 5 houses.  I'm not holding my breath as hope is just too painful . . .

We're going to look at another possible property this week, a period property, although it's further out than we'd like but has a range of excellent outbuildings for storage.  Unless we stay in Wales, we can only afford a semi (which this is) or something hopelessly too small.

Meanwhile, I need to carry on trying to find homes for empty suitcases and full boxes as Tam has returned home with all her belongings . . .

Anyway, a couple of recipes for you to try.  


CHOCOLATE APPLE CAKE

    1. Thank you so much. I'm feeling hornswoggled today as I seem to have lost a gigantic bin liner of shoes which came back last week. Apparently I should have concentrated sufficiently so I knew exactly where I had put every box and bag and known what was IN them . . . Since I don't even know where my specs or car keys are most days, Tam was having very high hopes of me!

    1. I could understand losing out on sales if it was on the edge of a motorway or next to the Dump (think festering nappy stench!) but we are next to a Farm and that apparently is The Utter End . . .
