And breathe…

Finally my husband and I are both in our own home at the same time. As it happens our eldest son is also here for a week for a visit. I am hoping that life can start getting back to normal.

I left the UK on Friday. Given the situation with the dogs I took my mother home but was not able to stay for my father-in-law’s funeral. The funeral went well, my husband wrote and read the eulogy and my younger son was asked to read a poem. Unfortunately there are currently only two sailings a week from Plymouth to Roscoff, one on a Friday lunchtime and the other leaves on a Tuesday evening and arrives on Wednesday mornings. I left Plymouth Friday lunchtime before the funeral had started. The Pont Aven, the current ship used for the crossing, even has a swimming pool, but it would seem that it is not currently in use.

I managed to get a certain amount of crochet done on the poncho this weekend. It isn’t far from being finished. Once I have done this I promise I will finish the three cat beds that I have been working on. I will then have to think about what to do next. I have been looking at a number of patterns and have several ideas. I have also been thinking about up-cycling projects. I used to do a number of them whilst I was still in the UK and I really would like to think about doing some again now. One of the many things that I need to do is to set up a shop on here. I am certain that it can be done. I would also like to start vlogging but as I have said before it all takes time. And at the moment I am trying to be kind to myself and not overload myself. This morning we had a lovely long walk with the dogs and we have been to Huelgoat for a coffee. I will be crocheting again later but I am taking everything extra easy at the moment.

Over the weekend it seems that Nancy and Florence have become good friends. I thought you might like to see them sharing a chair. This is something that could only be imagined a few weeks ago!
