Hello there, Happy New Year and welcome to the first #PoCoLo of the year - 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.

It’s been a chilly few days here, for more than one reason - the weather, and temperamental heating, which we’re still in the process of getting fixed, and more weather on the way with Storm Goretti due to arrive Thursday evening.

I’ve taken the opportunity to pick up a longterm work in progress crochet project, which is at the very unfulfilling stage of having its ends sewn in and then pieced together. I’m on the last small section, so there is light at the end of the tunnel, but oh so many ends to sew in - it’s not my favourite task that’s for sure!

I hope that wherever you are the weather behaves, have a good week.
