I haven’t made SallyBoots for quite a while but started knitting today having heard of a new arrival yesterday. Mutual friends will be visiting this weekend so I had to get busy and here they are. I’ve made the second size this time as the last baby I knitted for grew out of the little ones so quickly!
Here is our lovely friend, the new Father, in 2012 in the Blue Bar, Porthtowan, with LiveWire no 2 who is now 17, playing together with the froth on the top of a hot chocolate. Photo taken from the blog of that day.
Yet another storm is coming and our sailor’s barometer is overflowing again and splashing the tiles.

Well done, you! Cute boots!
Do you have to refill the barometer if too much splashes out?

Yes – and it’s time I did! There’s another storm on its way tomorrow….. 🙂

We tried but woke to various platic pots we had forgotten about being all over the garden. It’s howling outside now nut it scheduled to have passed over by 9pm. The rain has been relentless. At least we don’t have an ice storm which my SIL tells me is expected in Atlanta right now…… Take care whatever the weather is doing for you. 🙂
