Hello…and Happy Sunday! I hope the weather is being kind wherever you are. Here in Norfolk we are presently bathed in beautiful Autumn sunshine, which is trying very hard to dry up the huge downpour an hour ago. But it’s warm, the doors are open, Higgins is sunning himself and all’s right with the world…well on Planet Penny anyway.
Looking back over the blog I find I’m usually a bit moany around this time of year and I realise it’s not the autumn I don’t like because it can be beautiful. The colours and the angle of the light. The misty mornings and sparkling dew on the leaves. It’s looking ahead to the lack of light that lowers my mood. I find it really hard when the sun sets ever earlier rises later and later, and the clouds don’t lift all day.
So I’m autumn planning, determined to find lots to do, and lots to share and to try to keep motivated this time round. I hope you’ll join me!
So here’s a little glimpse of what Higgins and I have been enjoying on our dog walks this week…As you can see…he’s just a blur!
So many gorgeous colours and textures…We’re going to keep enjoying it for as long as we can! So, coming up, I’m going to show you some cosy knitting in a fabulous autumn colour…and an irresistible fabric purchase from my favourite shop, Arts Desire.
And on Friday I shall be taking part in a Blog Hop with Sew and So …here’s a little clue!I’ll leave you with some winners. The TWO lucky winners of the fabulous crochet book from this post are Susan and Julie. I wish I could send everyone a copy though, thank you all so much for entering the competition.
And if you didn’t win the book, there is still a chance to win the lovely Happy Crocheting bag on the newsletter. Just subscribe via the yellow button below to take part.
See you soon…x
Love the autumn colour you are knitting up with. And the autumnal images are stunning, higgins looks a cheeky chappy xx
That’s quite a speed on those little legs! Gorgeous autumn colours – both leaf and yarn wise. Enjoy the season. xx

And, take Vitamin D supplements. Works wonders for this time of year!
I used to want hibernate every year as autumn turned to winter but since I have been using a SAD lamp my enrergy levels have improved.
