1 We’ve had very welcome help today moving the furniture out of the dining room prior to the lovely Mr S sanding the floorboards. (For those who know about the mini flood, we’ve decided against a carpet and are opting for beautiful floorboards!) The extending dining table has been taken apart and exposed this interesting little ivory stamp.

I looked it up and found this delightful advert for a table with similar action though the legs of ours are very different.

2 I finished the very little Leg Warmies just in time for them to be taken home by L. Thank you so much to Alana from NevernotKnitting for the pattern.

3 When our daughters had left after a delightful 24 hours of enjoying their company, we had a walk around the garden and discovered buds on the Clematis, Montana Elizabeth. We have bitter winds forecast ( temperatures of around 0* but with the wind chill factored in feeling like -10*!) so we hope they will survive.

Yesterday’s Birthday Dinner was lovely and this morning we did Birthday Breakfast and used our beautiful Tree of Life bread-warmer to keep the croissants warm.
