I’m very fond of these soft alpaca wool socks, which I wear as slippers. So when they began to wear out … I guess I should have posted the before photo!

Mending and making do!
A sleeve, with basic darning.
and a sock with honeycombed blanket stitch plus weaving! Not sure how comfortable this will be with shoes…

Burns Night 2025
As we have done for the past few years, we invited four of our friends over for a meal and celebration of Rabbie Burns birthday.
Harry prepared a meal of haggis and traditional vegetables - neeps, sprouts, baked potatoes all served with a sauce of leeks, mushrooms and Guinness with a touch of stewed apple.
The haggis was addressed by our mini-guest and MC for the evening.
The main course was followed by apple crumble, served with cream or yogurt.
Afterwards we had performances of some traditional Scottish and Irish songs - Harry on ukulele, me on recorder, and Kevin on mouth organ.

Halloween again
A few photos from yesterday.
We had lots of Halloweeners/ trick or treaters - all very polite and gruesomely dressed up.

Looking up how to use comfrey and nettle leaves for fertilisers for containers.

Looks like a decent link.
