Trying the 2nd slowcooker recipe of week. Realise that when it comes to cooking I am very impatient to see the results. I don’t want to to wait 6-8hrs! 😂 #cooking.
The slow cooker is an old 1 that belonged to my sister’s mother-in-law & still work perfectly. #Cooking

Been knitting these dishcloths with a cup & saucer. Offered them to our Sisters last week at our gathering. All money raised went to watw.org.uk which supports women affected by or at risk of sexual exploitation.Pattern from one of our New Zealand Sisters. #knitting

Many of you know Mia from social media, Zoom & some have even met her IRL. Sadly this week she was put to sleep. She had been well until the last few days & didn’t respond to antibiotics.
She was 13 and been my faithful sidekick for 5 yrs.

Starting our holiday with breakfast on Safari Narrowboat Tearoom. Meant to take a picture of the breakfast before I ate it but forgot. The empty plate says it all though. 😂😂 #relaxing www.facebook.com/share/14js8A...

A lovely poem to reflect on as one year ends and a new one begins.

Letting go & welcoming by Joyce Rupp
 
Each new year extends an invitation
To re-enter the process of transformation,
For self & for our world.
We stand at the threshold,
Looking back & looking ahead.

Card this morning saying postage hadn’t been paid and £5 was due! Collected it. All this for one Christmas card that probably was in a pile and accidentally got missed when stamps were being put on! Happy Christmas @RoyalMail #postage!
