Robots galore
I received a wonderful swap package from Claire as part of the Robot swap. She made three little robots out of the softest fabric you can imagine. Here they are sitting on my vintage bureau. They remind me of weebles – you must remember them – “weebles wobble but they don’t fall down!” Thanks Claire….
Another swap finished
I’ve spent the last few evenings putting the finishing touches to my swap parcel for the robot swap. It was so wonderful to think about something other than our wedding… Here is a little taster of what will be sent on its way to my swap partner tomorrow.

Dungeness
Today it felt like summer had finally arrived in the UK. It’s no joke that we’ve had constant rain, overcast skies, and dismally dreary days so far this year. Luckily we woke to blue skies today, which was just as well as we had been planning on joining a guided walk to the sound mirrors…
