Post Comment Love 3 - 5 March

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This week seems to have flown by, and I’m not exactly sure how, or what I’ve been up to really. I have escaped for a walk or two in the blue skied chilly afternoons, and on one of those walks snapped the photo in this post capturing the moon amongst the white flowering magnolia. We’ve had a couple more viewings on our house, but no news yet and I went to the dentist for a review appointment for my filling I had back in January. It’s all good, but to help protect the tooth in the longer term I will be having a crown, so that’s booked in for early next month.

I’ve also started a new crochet project - I’ve been itching to get going on something using that box of mini skeins I shared a photo of recently. I’d resisted until now, but I realise now I’ve missed crocheting as it’s been a while since I picked up my hook - hopefully as it’s a small make I’ll be able to share more soon.

Post Comment Love 24 - 26 February

This week has mostly been about cake, and very good cake at that. On Sunday we had a trip out in the car to Westerham, which is about half an hour or so from us. The weather was good, and after a stroll around the village which included a stop in an absolutely amazing Italian deli and store, where we picked up six of the most divine Italian desserts.

Later in the week I spent the day in Islington at the Garden Press Event and on the way home I stopped at one of the patisserie shops and left with cardamom and pistachio Chelsea-type buns, which were both delicious. And there was also the giant chocolate chip cookie I had alongside my flat white as I sat reflecting on the day. I saw some great things at the event and I’ll share more of them here soon. All this in the week that I’d been meaning to make a cake too, that hasn’t happened just yet!

Post Comment Love 17 - 19 February

Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love.

This past week has been a funny one, I’ve clearly done stuff but I’m not really sure exactly what. We had a nice meal out, and had some really good home cooked food, MOH made a chocolate mousse which I managed to spill down a brand new cream jumper (not a good look - thankfully we were at home!) and I’ve made the most of the sun’s warmth either being outside or finding a warm spot in the house. But there really hasn’t been any one thing, or any theme to the week, I guess sometimes weeks are like that.

I did receive the most beautiful little delivery this week though. For ten pounds plus postage this little box of five 10g skeins popped itself through my letterbox in its pretty pink packaging. I think I’ve found what I’m going to make with it, and I’m keen to get my crochet hooks out and try it (even though I’m still persevering with sewing my Vintage Sweetheart blanket together!)
