I reduce my sewing space to the length of an ironing board plus a treadle machine top and I get the stitching bug. While Batman was at the cinema watching an eponymous film, I made this to replace the nasty plastic one from the Body Shop that got lost in my luggage.
My glamorous assistant has [...]

I’ve not run away again, I’ve just been ploughing a different furrow.

I love the way that men at work signs are different in different countries, no opening umbrellas in a high wind in Bratislava!

We have quite a lot of tea in our house. I recently had a re-arrange of the coffee and tea cupboard and decided that the most efficient way to order the tea was by continent.
Batman generally likes Indian teas, and I prefer Chinese. But we meet in the middle over quite a few, mainly Rose [...]

We were down at Batman’s parents’ house for a few days and I went out to their back garden to pick some red currents. I adore red currents, I’m a fiend about berries especially sour ones, so they tick all the boxes.
