#monthlydiary

The weather is getting a bit nippy and definitely a very blowy here. I’m now wearing my big cardigans which will likely become my ‘uniform’ until the warmer weather comes back next year. It feels ages since I’ve done a monthly recap but it feels like a lot happened in September so let’s give it a go! The beginning of September saw a week holiday in Kent, already feels such a long time ago,…

Goodbye June, it has been a busy month both in my personal and work life with lots achieved. I’m writing this with a cup of coffee in the bright hot sun despite it still being only 10am. I love being warm and toasty but hate feeling hot and sweaty which at the moment appears to be my life. June crafting. Overall items made = 6.This includes:Sewing one pair of trousersOne cross stitch fully…

Monthly roundup: May #may #monthlydiary #reading #knitting

I can’t believe it is already 1st June, with the exception of January which felt it lasted for an eternity that other months feel like they have flown by. The sun is shining while I write this post and I’m watching a small wren dart in and out of some vine leaves which cover the tree opposite and where I believe it may have a nest. My own little bit of Springwatch in the garden. 🐦 It has been a…

After complaining about how January appeared to last forever it feels like I have blinked and missed much of February. Seriously, where has February disappeared to?? I have been trying to think about what I did in February, while I didn’t manage to finish my knitted sock – I may have attempted to level up too quickly so it is taking me forever to finish just the first sock. On a positive note I…

Looking over September and forwards to October #monthlydiary #diary #reading #amreading #books #reviews #bookreview #audiobook #librarybook #bookblogger #bookblog

As September appears to disappear in the blink of an eye, or more accurately for me, September has been a quick month full of too many sneezes and travel. It is beginning to feel cooler even when the sun is shining brightly, I’m all too aware that Autumn is lurking around that corner waiting to pounce with Winter not too far behind. While I’m not looking forward to dark cold awakenings, scraping…

August roundup and looking forwards #reading #monthlypost #reviews #bookreview #librarybooks #literature #bookblogger

August has been a good month for reading books, part of me wonders whether I have spent all of my time only reading books as I seem to have digested a lot! Looking back it appears that my grand total for August is 12 books; how have I managed this feat? While I am a quick reader this total has still astonished me, I wonder if I can beat this? Within this total are some books which I completed…

July: Looking backwards and forwards

It has been a strange month with lots to do and very little time to pack it all in. I had some very firm plans this month about some books I would be reading but found that often these plans would go a little awry – does this only happen to me? Anyway during this month I have read some completely gorgeous books that when I was considering what would be in my top 3 it was really difficult however…
