Busy Scratchings

So much going on

So many deadlines to meet

Summer is flying by practically unnoticed.

Spied this year's first gathering of geese on the basin

They are already thinking of going South.

Where has the summer gone?

Such a nice young woman has contacted us

it seems Steven left a time capsule in our Beaconsfield home in 1980!

Photos and drawings

cap-gun and pencil

Lake Placid pin and golf ball

empty smarties box and cards from the movie Grease

and so much more.

Brett reckons Steven was hiding these treasures from him!

This lovely story is still developing.

I'm sure there will be more.

We thought the merlin had decided not to move in with us this Spring

but they must have nested further back in the woods

because they are now using our garden to educate their young

in the art of swooping on prey.

I've been doing some granny to be knitting.

Today I 'blocked' the tiny pieces.

Let's hope it turns out okay

knitting is not my forte!
