Bedsocks in May!

 The Daily Express (which I have never bought) is always putting up scare stories of "snow will hit 24 counties tomorro/by Friday" etc.  I don't pay muich attention, but it has been cold enough the past couple of days to think they may actually be right by the weekend!  I have just put the heating on for an hour, and turned my electric blanket on for a warm bed later.  The hotty botty was not enough last night.


Taken on yesterday's walk along the old railway line.  The little May bush looked so pretty.

Today I have been to my patchwork class back near where we used to live. It was good to see my friends again and chat and see what everyone else is working on.  I needed to top up on fuel, and was fortunate to find some at 179.9, which is ten pence cheaper than in town.


More May blossom along the pathway of my walk.  I took some wild flower photos but will put those up tomorrow.

I listened to several podcasts on my journey today, some from Three Ravens, and several from Medieval Murders, which is a bit more cerebral and talks of various aspects of Medieval life and laws.  

Still reading Raynor Winn's Landlines, and about to give my brain a bit of a working planning outings from The Holy Wells of Wales, to give folk a break from church bothering.

I went mad and ordered some Tablet Weaving cards. They cost £8.29, so not too huge a going mad moment!   I know I have some, somewhere in the house, but have looked and looked and can't find them.  When these arrive, the other ones will turn up...

Now, time to go in a warmer room with The Holy Wells of Wales.

    1. Wind feels like it's from the Arctic! Could do with it a little warmer.

  2. Seemingly our 'breeze' is coming over directly from the arctic according to the weatherman, it really does feel like it doesn't it. Bedsocks sound like a really good idea. :-)

    1. Yes, reckon the weatherman is right! Electric blanket just put on again . . .

  3. I’ll have to look up tablet weaving cards…..
    I think we’ll all be glad when this cold snap is over, it’s the second day I’m wearing 2 jumpers in the house!

    1. I haven't got out of the long sleeved t-shirt, sweatshirt and fleece I've worn all winter! Well, not the same ones obviously, but the same type of combination.
