Another week of June has passed and finally we have been able to have a little trip out. Not far, being very careful to distance socially, and not for long. It was such a pleasure after being shut in. We have been so grateful for the garden, and thankfully a few showers of rain, some obligingly overnight, have helped to keep it in flower. How are you all getting on? I took a break from Instagram this week, just because the week passed by …. and I forgot!

Two and a bit weeks of the current challenge blanket are published here; and that will bring us nicely into July, and on to Blanket number 4. Those details will be published nearer the time.
