And who'd have believed that on the hottest day of the year so far East Garston is without water? We have finally drained every last bit of water in the house so it had better come on soon. And after weeks of water and mud everywhere Jonathan had to call out a tanker to keep the animal troughs topped up.
It's been too hot to walk the dogs in the daytime, so I've been taking them out early in the morning and early evening. This evening we went up the hill and poked around Roger's Wood, and it was so beautiful.
Bluebells everywhere
and a few white bells
The first time I saw a blanket of these little white flowers in the wood years ago - I came home and embroidered them onto our pillow cases!
All very lovely and fresh and new.
However, as I said, last week we were in the midst of winter so it was lovely to spend a day making little purses in the workshop.
Our next low key workshop like this is on Wednesday 6th June when we will be making little hanging pillows - great for little gifts which can be personalised any way you want.
