Sewing, The AGM and Reading

I’ve been curtain making today using some wonderful vintage Laura Ashley fabric from 1983.  It’s fabric which we used for kitchen curtains in our penultimate home before moving back to Cornwall so it is full of lovely memories of our children growing up, family dinners and birthday teas in that kitchen. I’ll show the curtain in place when it’s hung..

This evening was the AGM for Community Roots which was full of information of what we have all achieved and what we will be aiming for over the next year. One of our directors is leaving and we were all asked to give one word to describe her. As you can see, she is much loved and will be greatly missed. She is the essence of Roots.

I spent the afternoon reading the latest book from The ShelterBox book Club. It’s both harrowing and full of love and hope. I’ll tell you more when I’ve finished it.

New Bag, Weeding Day at Roots and A Machine

Again, I spent the first couple of hours volunteering at home and made a really beautiful veggie bag out of some offcuts of Laura Ashley material that we had curtains of in our last house.

It was all hands on deck today to get rid of the weeds that have sprung up since the rain this last week. Enjoy the gallery and click on any photo for the caption. I didn’t get into the poly tunnels at all today as after weeding I was pricking out lots more baby brassica plants.

I just love these cauliflower harvesting machines and today we managed to get a photo as we let it into the queue.
