Since I now have all week for housework etc.OH suggested that we make the most of the lovely sunny day last Saturday to take a walk. He also had an ulterior motive in that he wanted to see how much my weak left leg could cope with, in case my friend (ex work colleague) invites me to one of her arranged walks as promised. We parked near the canal marina, crossed a bridge and set off down the path........
.......through the trees.....
....under many bridges......
......past verdant views......
......and spooky water's-edge gardens....(click to enlarge and spothe weird horrors!!).

| Lasagne and chips (one veggie, one meat) |
Just under 2 hours later we reached our planned pit-stop and braved the occasional cold wind, when the clouds obscured the sun, to eat our lunch al fresco. I was grateful during the way back to the car (via roads and a shorter distance) that we pessimistic brits had carried an umbrella, despite the fact it didn't rain, because I was able to use it to help me balance as my leg began to weaken. We came to the conclusion that, when it comes to my friend's walk, I should be able to manage the first half, but will have to leave them to it after lunch :-(

I've been getting on with a little stitching too and knocked up this cushion from an idea I had. It's supposed to look a little bit like a tetris type game where the different shaped pieces are either falling or breaking off. I think it would have worked better with smaller hexes but that would have been tons more work!
One consequence of my being at home may turn out to be the putting-on of a little weight for OH and I, if we're not careful!! After the success of the scrumptious crumble last week (which included raspberries bought from one harvest supper), this week was the turn of bread and butter pudding, after I acquired the leftover harvest loaf, from a harvest lunch that I didn't even attend ;-) It's not WHAT you know...........
Progress since last time:
Hexie cushion - finished
Bee Quilt - Round 4 complete (no pic yet)
Bye for now

Loving the cushion - perhaps a way of using a bit of hexing that's never going to be finished!
Glad to hear the leg is healing. Just remember not to push yourself too much.
Mmmm, that pudding looks delicious. Drooling on the keyboard is really not recommended :o)
Hi ,How are you, my friend ?
Thank you for your time and visiting me.HAVE a great day!!
What beautiful scenery! Even the spooky stuff. I've not seen chips served up with lasagne. That is a new one on me. :) And the weight gain....oy, do I know about that. Home cooking is dangerous business.
