Thanks #StormDarragh we had been doing so well keeping the cover (and furniture) in place. We’re not playing anymore though and all this (thankfully undamaged) is taking refuge in the garage.

Have made a Christmas wreath and hung it in the garage ahead of this weekend’s forecast bad weather

Goodness, Nottingham was crazy busy last night - we stopped for an early dinner at Browns before a show at the theatre, both were worth enduring the many, many roadworks!

A frosty, foggy morning in Newark - but also with clear blue skies and a glorious wintry sun.

The £1-chilli-plant-from-the-next-village which I brought indoors for winter (as no greenhouse yet) has rewarded its stay in the utility room with red chillies 🌶️

It really was a glorious day out there, though the wind made it feel much chillier than the forecast 8 degrees.

Pleased to have completed the embroidery on this last night, but it’s still too grim to get a decent picture <sigh>

How beautiful is the tiled hall (now a cafe) in Leeds?
It was originally the main library reading room, and from 1888-1941 it housed sculptures. The Victorian hall was renovated in 2007 with help from English Heritage, and revealed the original fabric of the room.
A great place for a coffee!

The work in the ‘Yorkshire Speak Their Name quilt panel’ was beautiful- as is its purpose, it’s a tribute to those lost to suicide with each square representing the story of a loved one and produced by a family member or friend. Truly moving.

Have been in Leeds for an overnight trip, loved the city and am sure we’ll be back. Today was spent culturally and enjoyed the temporary exhibition at the Leeds City Museum “Living with Death” which explores death, dying and bereavement.

It’s another wondrous cold weather day, spotted this perfect ‘snowflake’ ice crystal on the outside of our window this morning.

There’s a pretty sky this morning, with more white stuff predicted to fall.

Here’s hoping this is a more successful attempt to cover our garden furniture. Last time we tried - just before strong winds - it didn’t last the evening before taking two chairs with it (despite being strapped down). This time we’ve added two webbed straps hopefully stopping a billowing mushroom 🤞

A first post and #ProofOfCat though sadly #NotMyCat - he lives close by and clearly fancied a nosey in our new house.
