This week I took 3 days off from work, and have enjoyed some 'me time'. I've done some more knitting.
It's been quite a phaff getting the colours right as I changed them from the original. I've unpicked several sections more than once, but I'm pleased with it now.
I've walked by the river and managed to see my first ever kingfisher.
On one day I met Celia for lunch and a wander round Risby Barns where I bought these two pieces, a little Poole poetry vase and the bigger green vase which is Kensington (part of the Stoke on Trent potteries).
Today I walked back to the river, quite early, in the hope of finding more kingfishers. I didn't find them, possibly because the rowing club were practicing,
but I did see a flock of firecrests in the trees, really close, their bright orange head stripes almost glowed! And a flock of siskin (no photos of either).
But best of all I heard the water rail squealing away. I knew they were on that particular island but had never heard them before.
Back to work on Monday!
