July


we took the youngest teenager and his friend to a concert. 
there was dancing on a piano. 
seemed a bit reckless.


I tried to show respectable behaviour by casting on some baby socks.
which caused the teenagers to despair.
(might well have been what I intended!)


it was a beautiful venue. 


the rest of this post will be fairly random, so here goes.
random cat photo because there hasn't been one for a while!


Malene hat from Laine magazine.


Cassie, the smallest goat in the world.


a spoon carving workshop. 
so much fun
so hard. mine is the one of the right. 
don't look too closely.


this is dandelion. 
she wanted to eat me....


Bamburgh beach


Bamburgh castle. 
We went to take photos for work, and had to stay for a picnic. 
the sun doesn't come out that often here, when it does you have to make the most of it!


I also had to move my office outside. and admire the view.


today the weather is back to normal Northumberland grey and a bit freezing.
better get on with my new cardigan. it needs to be much bigger if it's going to keep me warm!

June


June. summer apparently but not in Northumberland....
but that's ok, there's been more knitting.


and more photo shoots for work. this time we found a driftwood boat. 
I want one!


later we found a snake.
I think I can live without one of these!


I'm not allowed to post photos of the eldest teenagers leavers dinner, or youngest teenagers prom, so here's a selfie I took to show off my new jumper.

apparently you're supposed to be able to see your face in selfies....

bah humbug.

May


May was the month of the eldest teenagers last day of school, and revision and exams. none of which were photographed. 
but this stormy sea rather sums up everything.

April


knitting is taking up all of my time.
 I designed a sock pattern for work.
it almost killed me.


then we took it on a location photo shoot and a few hours in the hills of Northumberland and all was well with the world again. 


also cherry blossom,
and swings.
everything is better when there is cherry blossom.
