We made the first visit for a while to our flat in Poole, where I was finally able to get my blanket where I envisaged it from the beginning. We hadn't been down there since a flying visit in May to clear the fridge/freezer, once restrictions on how far we could drive were eased. We hadn't actually slept there since February! So as in February I was still making the squares that were the first part of the blanket, I hadn't been able to take even a part-finished blanket down to see that it would 'go' in the way I thought it would.
The main purpose of the stay was a sad one; my cousin's memorial service - she died in the spring, and the service was on what would have been her birthday. It was a beautiful day, and we'd met some other members of the family on Sunday afternoon in the park; beautiful weather then too.
The second lot of flowers of my annual subscription arrived yesterday - they were enough for 2 vases.
