Denman Food & Wine Festival

Today I went with my friend, Lea, to this local food & wine festival. We had a lovely time...saw lots of people (Lea knows lots of people), listened to some music...

had some lovely spanish paella for lunch...won't mention the scrumptious white choc cheesecake with berry compote (I know I'm not supposed to be eating naughty things but we did go halves) ...I will have to walk an extra hill tomorrow!!!!

...bought some yummy (& healthy) blueberry & linseed boost to put on my cereal... and ran into someone famous (well I think so!!!!). Not the best photo of dear Lea...she is far more gorgeous than this in real life!

Can you guess who it is??????

A hint...a girl can have a lovely day out with her!

Contemplation...

Busy with lawns & weeding...nice to daydream.

I love when the leaves start to turn & the wind helps the leaves swirl to the ground.

I like to see the change of seasons.

A friend gave me this wonderful book...it has a wonderful message for any age.

Read it if you can.

Boring sewing & necessary evils.

It was a cool & very windy day today...not nice to be outdoors at all. So, much to the horror of the males in my home, I decided that "tidying up" was to be the order of the day! It was hard & it was boring but it needed to be done. Why do teenage sons marvel at the number of socks under their beds?But now there are beautifully tidy bedrooms, "stuff" put away PROPERLY & a sense of order once more.
Bliss!

The sewing room needed order to be returned...the pile of mending (boring!) is done (why does it take 8 months and 1 hour to do that mending...hehe)...fabric is sorted...shelves are dusted...and the floor is now thread free.
Aaaah!

Why do we put these things off, but then so enjoy the finished result?I am now ready to attack the fun things with renewed vigour!
