Is it a plane? Is it a bird? Nope, it's a flying visit. boom boom

Hi de Hi, I have been very busy today, I took Ben and  Greg out for 2 swims walks this morning and then a proper walk in the sunshine later. I made bread, soup and a tub of pastry mix. Sewed the rest of my 9 patch blocks and cut out the first wave of sashing strips. I made and drank several cups of tea, with and without shortbread.
I popped in to say welcome to a new follower, Liz from Shortbread & Ginger, lovely to have you on board.
I 'fess up to spending a fair while reading a new blog from the beginning. I had a quick look at some of the "Grow your blog" participants and found a few to follow. Today I read through all the posts by Janine Avery at Simple Things, go and have a look, great photos of days out, gardens lots of things, her beautiful children and one of the cutest dogs ever, there is one shot of him curled up in a basket of clean linen!
I did wash up twice, the kitchen has been "put away" and  the tray set for my early morning tea. Ben has been fed and is now getting ready for a quick trip down the street. 

Reasons to be grateful.

This is a cheat really as I am going to put all of these as number 1.

My health and strength, the ability to craft and cook as much as I please, the fact that I (now) walk as far as I like pain free, my ability to come and go as I please. I had an accident at work a while ago that could have left me unable to list any of these.

If you visit Simple things you will understand this post.

I am off to walk Ben now and then crack on with some sewing.
