Today is a cool and wet day. We have had some of the most glorious weather over the past few days so this rainy day is appreciated for the sake of the garden :o)
I am still busy crocheting leaves for my wreath, nearly done. I had hoped to be finished by now but life has been busy. I am also busy finishing up another pair of socks. I have been busy with this pair for months BTW - I started them off, then lost interest and started something else... you know how it goes. But I am determined to finish them off quickly as I am itching to start new projects.
I am reading 'Swallows and Amazons' by British author, Arthur Ransome, to the girls as our read aloud at the moment. This is such a lovely book and the girls are loving it so far. I first heard of this book - and author - on a local program called Countryfile. The little sail boat in the book, the 'Swallow', was based on Arthur Ransome's favourite sail boat, 'Nancy Blackett' - which has become quite famous due to the success of Arthur's books. I was intrigued upon watching this particular episode and decided that it would be our next read aloud in our home school. Funny where you can pick up new books for your on-going book-list isn't it? :o)
