An attack of junk comments has kept me busy behind the scenes, but thanks to my man D it’s all been cleaned up and dealt with, for now. No longer do I have to waste hours deleting shite. You would think that would give me more time to create, wouldn’t you?

I have also found time to relax, which is a marvellous thing. I didn’t realise how tense I was departing for London last weekend. The journey and getting ready had all stressed me a bit. But as soon as I ate my large English breakfast on Saturday I felt much more relaxed. It was a wonderful trip, London was magnificent, the wedding was marvellous. The pictures are here.

What more can I say?

Well, before the wedding I made a quick trip to Borough Market to buy loads of dried chiles, mexican chocolate and a tortilla press from the Cool Chile Co stall. Many of these will be used to make the “Holy Trinity” Mole this weekend.

The day after the wedding was spent wandering the streets of London with my cousin. We went to Topshop in Oxford Street and here where I bought these two yarns.

Another thing I want to make is Elderflower Cordial. I keep catching a whiff of them while I am out walking Gracie.

I made this to wear at the wedding, but obviously it was far too hot. I currently have these socks on my needles. They are knit on circular needles using a Turkish Cast On, which is described in detail here.

And this was the little dog that I embroidered on the back of my wedding frock -
