What I Didn't Do.



We are swinging from spring sunshine to flurries of snow in Cornwall, though nothing to what I read the rest of the country is undergoing. Much as I love snow I want it gone now and fortunately there is no sign of it today judging by the sky unfolding outside my window.



The weekend was calm and peaceful with lazy starts and plenty of cuddles with a certain little girl under the covers, knitting, the papers and a full pot of coffee. A very lovely way to start the day.



I seem to have caught up with my 20 minutes a day crafting as suggested by MarmaladeRose. If you haven't popped along for a look please do now as this is a good one to join. Other than this though I have to admit to doing very little this weekend. I didn't pop down to the sea which has been mostly leaden for the past week...



I didn't search out brightly coloured boats nestled by river banks and quays...




or the wonderful textures of old weathered rope...



or rusted moorings



I didn't do much more than browse the wonders hidden away inside these covers, dreaming of delicious meals rather than actually creating them.



And mostly I lazed and knitted and beat Dave at chess (sometimes)and snoozed the weekend away...like this



Bliss! x

  1. Sometimes you just have to take a step back, hibernate for a while and recharge the old batteries. It sounds like a lovely cosy weekend you had there Pip!

  3. Sounds like a good way to spend a weekend to me. You have some lovely photos to share so didn't need to go looking this time.

    We must be lucky here as although cold and frosty we have blue skies and sunshine with birds singing and flowers peeking through and no snow at all - at least not yet!

  5. Itsounds like a very sensible way to spend a cold weekend. Only a dusting of snow here but freezing temperatures and heavy frost have made staying inside and off the skiddy roads very appealing!

  6. What a lovely, dreamy post. I almost felt like I was snuggled up there with you & your little sweetie pie! It probably did you the world of good to be relaxing and taking things slowly. Such a lot of our lives seem to be rush, rush, rushing about. Have a happy week Pip! xo
