I've been spending my spare moments knitting recently. I couldn't resist this gorgeous wool it reminded me of the colour of the sea here.
We're still being enveloped in wonderful warm days, chilly when the sun sets but by then we're snuggling up around our wood stove.
Finally, look at this little gem, tucked away in a hedge row. The hill sides are now covered in a variety of wonderful wild flowers, anenomes, orchids, jonquille. Think I'll have to take my camera fora walk.......
That wool is knitting up lovely. Bet your pleased with it. Oh and that iris is just stunning, see what we miss when we travel by car.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in Crete are unimaginable. I saw wild flowers there that I hadnt seen in UK for years.
