A round up of June where we ventured out into the world of author events, crafting events, ceramics fairs and plant fairs. Dug out and rebuilt the front garden and spotted the wonderful Keith Brymer-Jones.

Living on the dark side of the valley in winter means snow hangs around, freezes overnight and causes havoc!

More snow than I want right now, have things to do and places to go.
A5 is eerily quiet, no traffic. Lane is like an ice rink, no grit dumps from the council this year.
Knitting day it is then!
