Is this Spring?

Oh joy of joys I actually hung my washing on the line today - and it dried perfectly. Is this the sign of Spring we're all waiting for?  Also the string of solar fairy lights that are hanging on our fence all year round - suddenly lit up last night when it got dark - proof in itself that the sun really had been shining and re-energised them!

All of a sudden flowers are springing up everywhere

This was in Hyde Park on Sunday - we were visiting the V&A museum - aren't they gorgeous?

I must just show you this lovely book that I treated myself to a couple 

of weeks ago - I love it. 

I'd seen it in the Homemaker magazine back in January which featured this Camellia blanket - and I just had to have it

I so enjoyed making the pram blanket last year for my new granddaughter that I thought I'd have another go. So - off I went this afternoon to buy this gorgeous yarn

I have a feeling I'm in 'Essay avoidance' mode again - but my evenings are for relaxing so tonight I'll make a start. Don't hold your breath though - it could be months before you actually see the finished article but I'll certainly have fun making it.

What do you do for relaxation in the evenings?
