This morning Darren and I set about cutting up all the pruning and her hauled the garden waste bin up the huge steps so that it was by the back gate. I was amazed we managed to get it all in, no a nice empty space beside the shed again!

I sat for a while trying to work out where I was going wrong with a beret I am intending to crochet. The third attempt looks right. That is the tighter one in the picture along with the page from the book and my first attempt. The second attempt I unpicked!

I have sort of organised my case for going down to Peterborough tomorrow. With Isobel's birthday present in there and my scrapbook to show people there isn't much room left for clothes!! When i got back from the crochet group the pattern I ordered a couple of weeks ago had arrived. It is for a cardigan in crochet. I walked up to the wool shop which Tina and I had located the other day and got wool and  a new hook. The shop is opposite the prison, I have heard about it a lot but hadn't actually realised where it was. It is not a prison now, but I have been told that some of the interior is still cells.
