Stand and Stare. My blog about crochet and crafting; concerts and countryside; cooking, cars and cats. Wednesday, 23 April 2014. Remembrance of Things Past. Mark and I 'got lucky' with the weather when we booked a short break in Swanage just before Easter. We parked the car at the hotel and walked everywhere for four days. It was a great way to get rid of the last of the 'winter fug' and a lovely chance for me to revisit one of my teenage haunts. I've shared some of my teenage memories here. I wondered w...

Stand and Stare....: August 2013

Stand and Stare. My blog about crochet and crafting; concerts and countryside; cooking, cars and cats. Friday, 30 August 2013. A walk round Namur. Namur is dominated by an immense citadel, perched on the cliff above the river Meuse. There are extensive views up and down the river. Its easy to see why, in this frequently war-torn part of central Europe,. That the King decided to build this immense fortress. The old castle fortifications were swallowed up by Vauban's new ditches, tunnels and walls. This or...

Stand and Stare. My blog about crochet and crafting; concerts and countryside; cooking, cars and cats. Wednesday, 30 April 2014. The Age of Miracles. I picked up this brilliant book from one of the local charity shops last Friday. It has joined an elite band of books that I considered to be truly 'un-put-down-able'. You know the ones - books that you don't want to stop reading, but you never want to end. For 36 hours I cooked with one hand, ate with one hand and completely ignored my husband! On the East...

Stand and Stare. My blog about crochet and crafting; concerts and countryside; cooking, cars and cats. Tuesday, 22 October 2013. Now the weather's colder. I lost some of my crafting 'mo-jo' over the summer -. It seemed far too hot to work on large woolly projects,. Then I lost interest in a smaller-scale crochet bag. The darker evenings and horrible weather have had one bonus -. I've picked up my hooks again! Since the beginning of the month I've made these children's blankets. Thank you for all your lov...

Things have been 'mid-term' chaotic here -. 400 effort grades and levels to do. 130 Year 8 reports to write. Endless coursework to mark (to the rigorous detail of a new specification). The final weeks before a school show (in which I'm playing the piano almost continuously for hours every evening). AND Ofsted are now 7 TERMS overdue! A lovely one ...

My Frugal Life: Relax and shop
http://frugalinyorkshire.blogspot.com/2011/12/relax-and-shop.html
Tuesday, 6 December 2011. No, not for me. I like to keep as far away from a shop as I can come Christmas week. It's like everyone's gone mad. The amount of food bought and the amount that will get binned is madness. I plan for everything I will need and hope to keep waste to a minimum. Anyway, anything that is left over in my house will be used or frozen for another meal another day. Do you love the hustle and bustle of Christmas or are you like me wanting it as stress free as possible? Stress free gets ...

Stand and Stare. My blog about crochet and crafting; concerts and countryside; cooking, cars and cats. Monday, 30 September 2013. I picked up a horrible cold from the kids at school at the end of last week. But the weather on Saturday morning was far too nice to stay at home feeling miserable. We hurtled through the food shop then headed off for the Worcestershire. Shropshire border and my favourite stretch of the Severn Valley. Through National Trust land round the edge of Dudmaston Park. And he explain...
