Apparently the best way to counteract writer’s blog is write. Just write. So here I am, kick starting the Planet Penny blog again by waffling on a bit and wondering if there is still someone out there.
But actually, it doesn’t matter if everyone has moved on, I’m going to write this for me and see where it takes me. And if you are still out there, give me a shout, a wave and tell me how you are doing, I’d love to catch up.
It’s been a funny old time over the past couple of years. In the beginning lockdown seemed a wonderful opportunity to be madly creative and get loads done. But I, like many other people, just ended up retreating into the far dark depths of my cave and being totally unproductive. Not an original thought to be had.
But over the past few weeks small pointy shoots of creativity have broken through the barren ground at the front of the cave and I have crept out and have been knitting like a woman possessed. Socks for all! Fingerless mitts! A temperature blanket!
So I’m going back to my roots, to the very beginning of this blog (fourteen years ago this month) I’m going to make things and write about them and see where it takes me.
If you would like to follow my journey you are more than welcome. I would love the company!

Dear Penny, so lovely to see this post. I would love to follow your creative adventures to come.
I have read your blog ever since I discovered blogs a few years ago and am glad to see you back ! I’m sad that blogs seem to be going out of fashion. I’m more of a word person than a picture one – have not got the hang of Instagram. It’s lovely to see you back – keep writing !
