Postal Delivery

I have had a lovely morning. The postman delivered two dvds that I ordered.
I'm looking forward to watching Goodbye Mr Chips. I saw it on tv years ago and Martin Clunes is absolutely superb in it. The BBC repeated How We Built Britain over Christmas. I had missed the series the first time around plus several of the repeats and, as I enjoyed what I did see so much, thought I would treat myself to the dvd.

I also received two books in the post and I wasn't expecting these at all. I subscribed to Easy Living magazine for a friend's birthday present recently and apparently these Tamasin Day-Lewis' cookery books were a free gift! Some of the recipes are delicious so once I have re-lost my weight I had lost before Christmas I shall be trying (and sharing) some of these with you.

I finished lining another basket this morning so shall be putting it on the website.

I love spending time in my 'den' sewing and listening to the radio. I have lots more things I want to make as I feel in a rather creative mood lately. Hopefully I'll have more to show you soon.

    Hi Ruth, Hope you enjoy some chill time with your dvds!

    Glad to hear you've been busy sewing - there's a constant whirr of the sewing machine here at the moment!

    I really enjoyed the 'How We Built Britain' series.
    What a lovely blog you have!;-)

    P.S I also remember Lianne as she used to buy fabric from me for her Christmas goodies! I met her at the Lincoln Christmas market, a couple of years ago. Do say hello from Sal Hall!

    Thanks for dropping by - I taped the Martin Clunes Mr Chips when it was first shown and still havent watched it - I will make an effort now. If you dont want to be scared witless about your move dont read my latest blog - you will seriously not believe the development on Friday - its the one to end all the others.

    Hello Ruth
    I just about remember the original Mr Chips.. I think it was filmed in our village of Crowthorne Berkshire (where I grew up) at Wellington College public school.. Now that could be my bad memory playing tricks!
    I like the look of your two cookery books... especially the tarts with tops... my kind of food!
