My life in Ipswich - incorporating One Step at a Time, my account of how I am slowly changing my life
Friday, 22 March 2013
Hi all......again I return to my blog.
A cup of freshly made cappuccino to help the creative juices to flow sits on my desk ready to be sipped and I browse through some really inspirational blogs....surely I can do that too, I think. The most inspirational belongs to Lynne at Textile Treasury. If you get a chance do visit her blog. So here goes; yet another attempt at getting my blog to flow.
I'll start by showing some places in my home:
My favourite seat in the house. It's by the front window so if I wish to be the nosey neighbour behind the net curtains, I can be. Lots of books are nearby to read and browse . A reading light so I don't strain my elderly eyes is positioned by my side and the obligatory small table at hand to put coffee cups, books, pens, notepads, wool , crochet hooks [the list is endless].
The conservatory, a room that has been largely ignored during the winter, except for my weekly teaching session. How I long for the sun when this is an amazing room to be in. With the sun shining the temperature soon rises and it becomes a really relaxing and pleasant place to be. However the winter months have taken their toll and the room needs a good sort out and declutter - a job maybe for this weekend.
My desk, where my laptop lives most of the time. I try hard to keep this area tidy but am not always successful. This weekend I have a few more pictures I want to put up or should I admit, get Harry to put up for me. The shelves are full of history books including family history, maps and a few craft and hobby books. Both Harry and I have been researching our family history for years and it's certainly a hobby that never ends.
I have several other places to show you but I'll leave that for another day as I must get on ....catch you later , Viv

DeleteHi Viv, lovely to see you blogging again. I hope you are well and enjoying your retirement. Loved looking at the pictures of your home, it looks so cosy. I love reading Lynne's blog too, what a lovely lady, you two have quite a lot in common with many of the same interests. I hope you manage to get to some music festivals again this year, we haven't any booked YET!!

Hi Karen...thanks for your lovely comments. We have booked for several festivals this year - Ely, Shrewsbury, Moira Furnace, Wimbourne and Swanage - however Harry is working at the last two doing sound at some of the pub venues. I recognise Lynne from the morris circuit although we have never spoken. Hope you are well and hope to see you at a festival sometime...Viv xx
