Turning Lavender Red

Published by on August 27, 2008 | 2 Responses

In a major culling and review of my wardrobe (pitchforks and and industrial lifting equipment were required) I decided two things. I need a little strappy vest top in bright red. I’m never going to wear Lavender,other than out of guilt for neglecting it, while flopping around the house. You remember Lavender don’t you? Golden […]

When the waiter bought us our drinks and some olives, while sitting outside a restaurant, by a lake, having an impulsive treat of a meal out, I don’t think Ben was expecting me to go into sudden raptures about the cocktail sticks that accompanied the olives!

This week I visited Cardiff to see my sister Carol and her lovely hubby Steve. I discovered Carol’s dark secret – a crime against knitting!
