Post Comment Love 21 - 23 November

Hello there, and welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, 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, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

The weather has certainly changed this week. Temperatures have dropped significantly from the unusual balmy temperatures that were so unusual for November. Somehow I think the dramatic change has made it feel all that much colder than if there’d been a gradual decline. While we did have a lot of rain last Friday, and the river levels are high, we have so far not had any snow, and hopefully it’ll stay that way.

We had a day in Nottingham last week and luckily managed to time it with the best day weather wise, which was completely unplanned but very welcome. We looked around a new to us part of the city, Sneinton Markets, which was just up my street. We discovered an independent bakery, an asian grocery shop, a couple of craft shops and a shop full of curios. The bunting caught my eye, but then I spotted some bundles of vintage fabric at too good a price not to buy, that really wasn’t in my plan, but I couldn’t leave them there!

Have a good week.

This week I’m mostly feeling accomplished - not only are my bay trees (pictured - with raindrops obviously!) recovering better than I could have hoped for from their yellow-ness earlier in the summer, MOH has put some shelves up in the cupboard my craft room and I’ve unwittingly rearranged the whole room (more on that next week) discovering many things I’d forgotten I had in the process.

I haven’t done as much sewing as I would have liked to, but that’s on my list for next week as well as a visit to the Knit & Stitch Show in Harrogate with friends from my sewing group.

Have a great week.

I’m sharing another photo from our recent trip away for this week’s post. This one was taken in the barn at Great Dixter where it was a joy to see so many seed heads drying. In fact the whole garden was fantastic, as was the house, but it was the garden that really shone for me. Maybe that was because it was always going to, or because it was the day after the rain and winds and nature was doing its best to put on a brave face, who knows. But the garden, for me, was magnificent because it wasn’t too manicured, and had more of a ‘lived in’ and 'used’ feel to it if you know what I mean.

Have a great week.
