The Norty Corner

Well i have been clickety clicking away ... i have felt a bit under the weather this week so after doing all the chores i have been ensconced on the settee wrapped up in my nice throw watching the box set of friends that my eldest son bought us all last December as an early Christmas pressie. Inspired by Mrs Bond of woolly words i have been busy knitting and then re knitting as things regularly went wrong...odd sized legs, knee joints in thighs..head knitted in wrong color wool...(typo pattern error that one) , but finally.. not perfect by any means of the imagination, i have knitted my first ever project...so with great Tralaaaa's i introduce Geraldine... She was knitted in Dk wool that i picked up nice and cheap from the Range, and the pattern is a King cole Halloween one, there are also patterns on the sheet for pumpkins, cat and spiders.... i may knit a cat to keep her company as now my project is finished my hands are twitching for something to do. ...

Its already the 15th of April and the month is half gone, who has the last 14 days???

The boys have been home from school but i have been at work on and off so once again i have done boo diddly squat with my little men. They have contented themselves mostly with bouncing on the trampoline that hubby rebuilt... the springs are a bit rusty where they had been hiding in a black bin liner, but it is working well, i just need to get a cover to go ove...

Well the wedding was now 2 days ago and what a fantastic day it was. Groom and Bride looked fantastic, location was amazing, food was just divine and there was plenty of wine so it just couldn't get any better could it? well yes it could because the weather was glorious as well. The wedding was held at Wyck hill house and spa at Gloucester,  which is definitely a very special place indeed, especially the grounds and all the little places you can just sit and chat. We didn't stay over as we had to be back as hubby had work in the morning plus we needed to pick up our puppy dog.Many of the guests booked rooms though and we did see my parents room which was just beautiful, and so spacious . I think my lounge and conservatory would have fitted quite nicely inside their bedroom!!! here is a picture of the very happy couple; Mr and Mrs Speller. I was a tad embarrassed because i was thanked like a billion times for the bits and bobs that i helped wi...
