Goodness, it's been quiet around here. We've gone various walks along by the golf course - unexciting, but it's nice to get out. What with our family being away and me having a prolonged throat infection and associated hacking cough, we've just read books and watched television and ... tara... done the binding on my rainbow quilt.
I started off unbrilliantly by attaching it to the back instead of the front (you would think I'd never bound a quilt before!) but noticed myself doing this after a foot or so. After a bit of unpicking and teeth-grinding, I did it properly. Hurray. It took quite a while because it's big but it all went fine, no bunching or anything, so I was pleased. Now to hand-sew it to the front, which I quite enjoy.
On Hogmanay we went over to Daughter 1's to bring in the New Year, which was lovely. And then yesterday, Daughter 1 and family, plus Son-in-Law 1's nice parents, and Mr L's cousin, came to us for the afternoon and evening. Also fun. And that was the end of the festive season.
Today the weather was beautiful but chilly. We went for a walk but I didn't take any photos. However, Daughter 1 and family took pictures on their walk up the hill near their house.
It's quite a pech (puff) up those steps!
Happy New Year to anyone who reads this; may 2026 be a good one for us all. Not to say for the rest of the world, a fair bit of which probably needs our good wishes more than we do.
