Back Again!

Hi there, its been a long time since I posted last.  A lot has happened in my life and in the world!

I wont go into what has happened to me much as we all have our trials and blessings, and we all know what is happening in the world, lol.  I just hope that everyone is safe and well and as we say in NZ  "kia kaha" meaning "be strong".

I have not picked up my crochet hook for a long time due to an accident where I tripped over a dog!  I hurt my shoulder and elbow and it is taking ages to heal. But we are getting there. Slowly but surely.

Even though no crochet is being done I have decided to carry on blogging as I miss it, but my focus will be on the home front, cooking, gardening and other bits and pieces affecting my life, in  other words a diary.  And just maybe crochet one day will creep back in.

One sad piece of news is that my cat Ambrose has passed, one week shy of his 19th birthday. It hit me hard even though I was expecting his passing for the last few months of his life, he was my shadow and companion for all of those 19 years.

I want this post to be a tribute to Ambrose and the happy years he gave me.

Always the gentleman


Loved to snuggle up in crochet blankies

Favourite pastime finding a cushion to sleep on


With his sisters Peggy Sue and Lucy


He could never resist helping with crochet


With his best mate Peggy Sue
 
Rest in Peace Ambrose

Some simple things
