February...
Hard to believe that we are already well into the second month of the year ! Our long awaited summer has kept up waiting. We had nice weather for Christmas and New Year ,the rest of January was disappointing and officially labeled "unseasonably cold and wet"... Feb. has been better, but far from reliable . So much for global warming !!We've been busy with visitors from England and more to come next week. .. Last week, the son of a close friend, next week the daughter of a cousin... They like to come here to get over the long journey before they take off on their adventures . Always nice to see visitors but it does interrupt the routine . I had just started to pick up my interest in quilting, after a non-productive year , and then had to tidy it all away again ! It's a year this week, since my quilting buddy died . We had met fortnightly, for over twenty years. I don't belong to a group . I finished my friends unfinished quilt but , other than that, I have done very little.
DH has decided to paint the house...Fortunately it is built of stone, so there's not a lot of paintwork ! However, it does require the use of a ladder and he isn't good with heights (even though he likes to fly....) so..there's a fair amount of drama here these days..
The NZ grandchildren are back at school after the long summer holidays. I think they are pleased to be back and seem happy with their teachers etc. The Scottish Grandchildren are on Half Term holiday in Scotland. DD#1 is there for a month. More snow up there but not as heavy as in January..
Jane, we will have to move at some stage too. Not something either of us look forward to. We have never had near neighbours and , all the other things you listed will be a problem too !!
