And breathe.. .

There's something very soothing and very special about visiting the same place at the same time of year, each year. Every year we rent the same cottage in this little corner of the Lake District and it is such a special place.

The amount of knitting that gets done though can be variable and is heavily dependent on the weather. Fine, sunny days see us out on the fells as a family whilst wet and windy days are for cosy cottage hunkering down. Fortunately for me springtime is a very variable time of year here. We have been in the cottage with 5 feet of snow outside and we've been here with the boys skinny dipping in rivers.

This week is the usual mix of sunshine and showers with a good dose of knitting predicted too and I can't wait.
