New start

I love flowers, and these birthday gifts are beautiful

 My sister sent my gift, all in the lovely basket

 SIL gave this scarf, which I am wearing now. 

I have started a shawl using one of my hand dyed sock yarns.

I have this year been spoilt on my birthday, in so many different ways, seeing my hubby regaining his strength, is my favorite thing. We had a lazy evening in together , a nice mug of drinking chocolate and an early night, hubby is still sleeping downstairs in the spare room, he has broken sleep most nights, he can climb the stairs for his morning shower.

Thursday morning he had an appointment for a blood test, so I drove him to the village, we walked to a couple of small shops and then stopped at our local Bistro for a coffee and cake, met a few neighbours, being sunny it was nice out, just much cooler in the shade. 

Now my thoughts turn to Christmas, I have not yet baked our cake, it's on my list of things to do next week. I have started on my Christmas cards, I am making a mixture of designs,
