The last few days

The weather has been wet, cold and windy over the last few days and my arthritis doesn't really like it. Getting out to walk has not been easy as we try to go between showers, well yesterday it was heavy rain for most of the day. I am trying to knit a rabbit but have to stop frequently as my fingers ache. So then I tried a bit of hand stitching. I am doing a lovely on line course with Shelley Rhodes but am having g to take it slowly. I did a face to face course with her a few years ago when she was teaching in South Australia , I feel this one is much more in depth but I have it for ever so am enjoying picking out bits. The rose, a very late David Austin which I am enjoying Our beach walks have been definetly hit and miss, the beach has changed shape and the amount of sea weed makes for difficult walking and there is not much in the way of shells. Trying not to worry about things but not easy.

I am enjoying slowly playING along in Shelley Rhodes on line course. The fact that I can access for ever is so good.

Lots of sea weed and not many shells, mostly old worn out ones. Still it has been fun to put them in some sort of order. Winter is sometimes difficult to get on with, especially at my age. I need to get started on another cot blanket. L have found
