Bit of gardening and meeting a friend

The day started off damp and miserable so I did some chores and when it cleared up a bit I went out and did some clearing of dead plants in the front garden. The garden bin is emptied tomorrow and I wanted to put ours out as it had some household  waste in already. It is amazing how much stuff there is to clear, a now completely full bin is out ready for emptying! I thought I would walk to the mere and do a sketch and took this photo of the church s it wa bright behind me but dark clouds were looming.

I only walked a few more steps and it started spitting so thought I would go back to the house and stand on the drive and try to draw Tina’s car! It really started to rain so it was. Pretty quick and smudgy sketch!

I found my glass and ceramic decorations and a set of size Wrendale tree ornaments that Tina got me in the sales after last Christmas. So they are now on my ‘tree’!

Last night I started the advent jigsaw and today I have done the second section. Will have to do three days worth on Friday as I am away for the weekend!

I met Sher this afternoon for an hour and then she and Dve came back and collected their cake and took Haley’s as well. Slowly getting them moved on!

I went to the shop after it was dark and the lights are really pretty in the town but photos don’t do them justice. They are not over the top but make the town look very festive.

I have started reading a book by Rob Rinder, not my usual subject matter but it is really good.

Should think about starting on the Christmas cards, but may just read another chapter!
