ICY

ICY GOOD MORNING, 
hello, cold and icy and clear blue sky. I tried to take a pic of the white ice pattern on the car but it seemed to reflect the sky. However, there is a hint of the pattern showing - brrrrr...........

Potatoes !

just noticed this patterning around the potatoes as the water came to the boil !
the weather has been cold and I really needed a HOT DINNER so here's the potatoes cooking.
Sorry, no pic of the hot dinner  but it was YUMMY !

less darkness!

yes, there is finally less darkness! 
feet! I am able to get up earlier and to celebrate I thought I would soak my feet as my toenails have become troublesome. 
I have been walking for about an hour a day and I guess the walking boots have been pressing on my toes causing the problem. Although I feel fitter since the walking, my feet are complaining - so I will give them the attention they require otherwise the walking will have to stop................. 

New Year Resolutions

well - eight days since New Year and I am finally back to normal life. Everything has slid into place and nothing much has changed. I do however have a PLAN!
Chickens - either increase flock as there are only seven and four of them are ancient oh dear! 
today has become very cold, better get out the thermals....

Horseradish!

well today is the last day of the year, so I decided to take a look at the horseradish. the chickens had scrabbled some soil away so all I had to do was pullllll and out it came - the whole root!
washed and grated it - and WOW! the fumes cleared my head, nasal passages and eyes watered and so I quickly popped it in a jar with some cider vinegar. better get on to the internet now to look for what to do with it!

Dark nights in East Anglia

Fingerless mitts...
the next part of my knitting project is to design and knit fingerless mitts to wear with the hat and scarf. I think there is just enough yarn left (I hope!) guess I will have to knit and see.
Re: the weather here - Sunday glorious sunshine and not a breath of wind then Monday FOG, FOG and more FOG...

finished knittin'

finally finished knitting!

this project is now for all to see on the web!
I have been knitting and pattern writing and it is the first time I have uploaded one of my designs onto Ravelry. Here's a pic of the Glitzy hat and Scarf

I have used a glitzy yarn which gives the hat and scarf some golden glints. more info on Angela Mary's Knits at Ravelry knitting website
