They do live in another part of England to me so it is a complete change . Everyone puts in such a lot of work to make it a memorable time . It was lovely . Also one of my grandsons <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">announced his engagement to Stacy</span></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">I came home with lots of gifts and 2 new recipes . One is for a baked cheesecake the other for an unusual pastry containing vinegar but it was really crumbly and delicious</span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">I have to sit and sort <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">out what</span> needs <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">transferring</span> into the 2011 diary , why does that always seem such a chore.</span>cottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526367552996621940.post-23887838337660374782010-07-06T13:33:00.000-07:002010-07-06T13:48:46.489-07:00Yarn over hook<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7LL2yW3ONJU/TDOTaAkQ2jI/AAAAAAAACp0/fjXEc404g9E/s1600/PICT2006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490894445732747826" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7LL2yW3ONJU/TDOTaAkQ2jI/AAAAAAAACp0/fjXEc404g9E/s400/PICT2006.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>My friend bluebell wants to crochet round the edges of a pair of pillowcases .

She is a novice at crotchet ( O if she would hold the cotton right , she sort of knits with the retort " well my mum did it like this") but nevertheless I have sorted out a few samples to see what she fancies . For these pieces I did not use a pattern , I just did what I fancied from row to row .</div><div></div><div>We decided t go out for lunch today at the garden centre , our salt pot wouldn,t give . the man on the next table was people watching , saw us looking on another table for a salt pot and said "you shouldn,t be having salt anyway" . Who ask his opinion ? </div>cottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com3
