Thanks for The Manx


This has been one of the most beautiful Autumn weeks that I can remember. The low lying mist and turning leaves have been such a stunning reminder of the glory of nature. These trees are in public parkland across from my house. It's Common Land so I have every right to graze my flock of sheep upon it...




...if I only had one. For now I don't - too impractical in The West Midlands...
...they'd only be trouble...
...we'll have to make do with the guinea pigs.



Tonight a little workshop on folded Manx log cabin blocks. You can see the sample here. This is all hand sewn but no stitches show. I have a mind to use a lovely jelly roll to make a quilt when we go to Devon. It's a great travelling project. I know that once more, instead of packing tomorrow I'll be cutting a quilt. God I always seem to do that, the day before going away, instead of organising our suitcases! Looks like I'll be up until midnight again!

  4. Gorgeous autumn pictures. I too would love some sheep (or maybe an alpaca or two), but have to settle with guinea pigs instead as well!

  5. Let's get a flock of sheep and share them! They can live with you half the time and me half the time. Bagsy the non lambing half...

  8. Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it's tough to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you've done a excellent job with this.
    Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Safari.
    Exceptional Blog!

  11. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to
    see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just
    so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

    I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  24. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know
    so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but
    other than that, this is magnificent blog. A great read.

    I will certainly be back.

  25. After I originally left a comment I appear to have
    clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I get four emails with the exact
    same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?
    Appreciate it!
