Back to work.




Jamie went back to school last monday all suited and booted with his new uniform, haircut, shoes and pencil case. Pencil case shopping used to be one of my favourite parts about going back to school - that annual trip to woolworths to get a new bright and shiny pencil case filled with even brighter and shinier new felt tips - got to say Jamie didn't seem to get the excitement so maybe it was just me being an odd child or perhaps it's the fact that the thrill of shopping at Asda can't outweigh the wonder of woolies - who knows.
Anyway now that Jamie is back at school and we seem to have got back into the routine of earlier bedtimes (well almost), homework and spelling practice, it's that time of the year for me to go back to work. But before I do that tomorrow morning I thought I'd spend my last day finishing off a blanket I've made for Jamie (I'll photograph it when it's done - promise), and thought I'd post just a couple of photos as reminders of the lovely weather we had during some of the school holidays.
Check out the beautiful blue skies and clear water all taken in Nortumberland which is very quickly becoming one of my favourite places.
Being back at work in September means to me that I'm also getting my head round the fact that summer is coming to an end and the run up to Autumn, Winter and Christmas seems to be getting slowly underway - I say this as I've noticed that my mind is more and more turning to ideas of how to make the house look colourful and cosy through the autumn or what to make for Christmas presents. Summer seems to be fading away into the memory banks for another year.


Have you noticed how it's getting darker earlier already despite the fact its still sunny during the day. Last night it was pitch black here by half seven. I feel some cosy nights of crocheting might be in the offing. Check out the 'Do you mind if I Knit' blog - really really must work out how to put a link in a post - she has just finished the most amazing scarf that I am going to have a go at next - (hence me rushing to finish Jamies blanket) it's just perfect.
have fun

Hi Janette, shame you have to go back to work at all I think :) Good luck with it tomorrow, it must be hard for you.

I know what you mean about new pencils and pencil cases, maybe it is just a girls thing eh?

Link - when you are working on your new post, high light the site/blog name that you want to link and click on link. In another window go to the site and high light and copy the address like you would normally when sending a link in an email and paste it into where it is asking for the http:// address. Am I making sense at all?

I will look at that knitting site because I need some inspiration to get me back to my knitting club on a Monday night and a scarf sounds like my limit, lol.

When I say high light the blog name I mean after you have typed the blog name, am I talking trash?
