One thing we shouldn’t do is measure against other people. ‘Oh, they do more that I can ever do, so what’s the point?’ Well, the point is that we are all different… Continue reading National Walking Day – April 1st
It’s the little things in life that give us pleasure. The sun is shining and it’s warm for early February. Just to hang out my washing and watch it sway in the breeze, makes me happy.

In honour of this day here is a cross stitch picture I did back in 2003. I really loved stitching this one. I remember taking it on holiday to Anglesey and would sit in the lounge of the B&B stitching. Lots of people took an interest in what I was doing, and it was nice… Continue reading International Tiger Day!
