Random thoughts - on words: spoken, read or written; stitches: knitted, crocheted or sewn ... and anything else that comes into my head.

Spring confined
And so we enter a strange time of beautiful weather but unable to go anywhere. We are lucky to have a garden and local shops who will deliver, so although Mr Bufo is in his mid-80s, and I am just into my 70s, we have been able to stay fairly isolated, with a couple of ventures to the over 70s slots - which were more crowded than normal shopping times, so reluctant to do that again.
We both had terrible coughs last autumn and many of the symptoms described as the current virus, so are wondering if it has been around longer than was realised, and that is what we had. It was pretty nasty, and I hope we did have it, as we certainly don't want that again, or anything worse.
Our planned breaks and holidays are of course on hold at the moment, postponed until the situation resolves itself - in the case of our French barge holiday, until May of 2021.
So we potter about the garden, and I am keeping up with the latest Crochet-Along. Have done 36 squares (not shown) and at the time of this photo, 80 triangles, here joined in 4 large and 8 small sections
- but as you see from the photo to the right, another 36 triangles done there, and since then 20 more, so just 52 more before another joining session, and then 9 octagons. All in all 233 individual pieces, joined with crochet, and a border to go round the whole...the last part will be released in July - and I hope by then we will all be released too!

I have contacted you as you left a comment on my blog sometime ago about '' Parkstone Goods'and George Jennings and photographs of your Great Grandfather as driver.
ReplyDeleteThe history of Parkstone is of great interest to me and i am annoyed with myself for somehow, missing your comment.
I would be very interested in photographs you have and any other information. It all builds up a picture on the layout that i have taken many years to build.
On my blog is a 'contact' email form, i would greatly appreciate it if you could contact me and we will take it from there.
Many thanks.
Colin.
