Did you have a nature table at Primary school?  If I am ever transported that far back in my mind, it’s usually something to do with Autumn that does it.  Golden  leaves, acorns and nuts, strange fungi (usually popped  into a jam jar for safe keeping) an old discarded birds nest… Well, I know we are not there yet. Heavens, it is still August, just.  However the weather doesn’t seem to think so and when Higgins and I went for that walk the other wild and windy afternoon my nature table contribution slapped me round the head!  I think I was lucky that it wasn’t the whole branch! 

I’m really, really not ready for Autumn shades yet, are you?  I’ve been popping in and out of other blogs I’ve just discovered and there’s a lot of crochet going on in gorgeous colours which is cheering me up no end.( Have a look here and here to see what I mean)   I’m SO close to finishing my blanket now, just one last square to go. I’ve got a bit of a handicap tho’…

…Henry thinks it’s ready to use NOW!

So I’m going to pop off now and get that last square finished before I try wriggling the rest of it out from under Henry to finish sewing up…

Now where did Tim put the leather gauntlets?…
