Text of the page (random words):
hours no parking ticket i had to be restrained and order small because we were out for a meal that evening beautiful bruschetta and salad followed by a very small cake there was a surprise when i visited the toilets rather an unusual water feature in the waiting area hard to photograph a deep well with goldfish then we went to the loveliest shop full of colour and pattern nine and fifty swans in the shop i heard the owner chatting noticed she didn t have an irish accent i also heard her say she used to be a feltmaker when it was my turn to be served i asked where she was from liverpool and that s where she did her textile degree i suddenly had an image of her in my head from over 20 years ago i asked her name but i already knew it suzanne mccullough who had a residency at the platform gallery in clitheroe who made amazing sculptural felt pieces i met her a number of times that year as i had work in the christmas exhibition in fact i think she even bought a handbag i d made isn t that just amazing in a little town in co galway there was someone i d met in lancashire 23 years ago as it was still raining hard breda and ester and i couldn t stand about much longer so we parted sadly until next year back at the car i was just about to dive in out of the rain when a rather unsteady gentleman lurched over to me and asked me to help him back his car out bang on the window if a car comes which i duly did by then i was drenched got lost on the way back to ballyvaughan turned on the satnav and it righted me by way of a tiny road with grass in the middle i came upon a huge black goat with immense horns in the middle of the road a satanic looking individual who had a load of chums all trying to decide which field to return to i do love ireland tonight we re going to a concert at corofin to listen to noel hill who was the reason we first came to ballyvaughan and other musicians we got a programme for the festival and we re in it posted by jackie at 13 48 3 comments friday 31 december 2021 just in time to get my only blog post in for 2021 made a lot of felt and then made a lot of brooches i used to make ceramic mushrooms at college so i thought i d just give them a go and they ve been a great success i ve sold a lot of brooches this year which has been very useful as we ve had car repair bills and dog dental bills i have a lot of super loyal and generous followers on my facebook page who already know all this unfortunately this hasn t left me much time for making larger pieces so i ve nothing much to show on that front but each little brooch has been a distinct and unique work of art i ve read a lot of books 43 but not as many as last year for obvious reasons i also decided that s it s ok to give up on books you aren t enjoying and i returned at least 10 to the online library unfinished the stand out book of the year for me was piranesi by susannah clarke it enthralled me it s weird but wonderful via the u3a i rang handbells weekly and played croquet and occasional table tennis went on social outings and went to the drawing group alternate weeks when there were social distancing rules we rang the bells outside near a fishing lake this proffered trout was an unexpected bonus for one of our ringers one day i might have snaffled it but i was walking 2 miles home in blistering heat up a steep hill and i don t think it would have been very nice i tended to my mum s needs a lot and tried hard to be patient and took her to many many appointments i had my cataract operated on my second eye we managed 3 nights away in northumberland and two in malvern our scilly isles holiday was postponed again and we hope to go in june our usual ireland break at the end of february was cancelled but we are hoping to go in 2022 however i have to consider my mum who relies heavily on me and lives alone we almost lived outside during the summer and i enjoyed the garden particularly when it came to my70th birthday when we could socially distance outdoors and we clung to the shade it was so hot i like this 70 th portrait of me because there s no visible chins but one and my hair is no longer coloured most of our family are men we had a toast to absent friends my dear cousin and my sister in law who both left us recently and are greatly missed but the best thing the very very best thing of 2022 was this little sausage born mid october and delighting us i didn t think all the fuss people made about their grandchildren was real but believe me it is a wonderful thing even though i ve had to wait until the grand old age of 70 that green blob is an enormous stegosaurus my husband bought him for christmas he is a wonderful little man and gives us hope and purpose seeing him is like having a fix i think and he loves his uncle fin so just before 5 30 pm on news years eve i ve got my blog post in i wish everyone a happy and an especially healthy 2022 and if you haven t get yourself vaccinated xxxxxxx posted by jackie at 17 27 6 comments sunday 17 may 2020 blogging n the time of covid 19 part two we returned from ireland and by the end of the week we were in lockdown but not me oh no i am the official gofer i had to endure these scenes which i m sure everyone is familiar with but i had to show my mum why i couldn t quite get everything she wanted from the supermarket my husband is over 70 my mum is 92 so it s down to me even though i have type 2 diabetes i am quite fit and my numbers are good so i hope i m not at risk my mum was in a state of anxiety and panic for the first three weeks but seems to have made a complete recovery but is lonely she goes to the local shop every day for a newspaper which is probably not a good idea but i think she d go mad if she didn t she has no internet so that s the only contact she has with the outside world apart from phone calls anyway what have i been doing this collage is from quite a few years ago and you can see that there are one or two virus like shapes there i thought i d make a topical one just for fun this may remind you of something this brooch received a lot of comments on my facebook page and some people wanted to own one i had also been thinking of the food bank missing out on all the donations because people were so worried about getting enough food for themselves that they couldn t also buy extra to donate i usually take a bagful to church as do others but there s no church either so i decided to make a number of brooches to fill in my income gap as my teaching has been cancelled and to donate 5 from each sale to the food bank i sold them all immediately and had a long waiting list so two weeks later i made another huge number this time i was able to donate more than 100 each to two hospices who are also experiencing income drops i felt useful i felt creative and it kept me upbeat and motivated but then someone made an unpleasant comment on my photograph and i got an angry emoji too i realise that the corona virus has had a devastating effect on many hundreds of families and that perhaps my brooches were in poor taste so i stopped i still get requests so i may do a few quietly and list them in my etsy shop of course they ll have to be more expensive to accommodate etsy fees but that s how it has to be the weather has been amazing and we have taken full advantage of the lovely area we live in we are lucky to have a variety of walks nearby we have moorland and farmland tracks both high and low we can look down from the moors onto our village and if it s clear you can see the sea and blackpool tower we find old ruined farms above the woods and peaceful spots with reeds the woods are lovely now full of bluebells and new leaves the grass verges have been beautiful full of wildflowers but even the lockdown didn t stop the sports club strimming them very sad so to counter that we re encouraging weeds aren t these gorgeous also gorgeous too are these aldi ranunculus well they were until the recent cold wind it takes my garden a while to burst into bloom but there s joy to be found in colourful leaves and the blue of the forget me nots we have our own bluebell patch and they look amazing with the euphorbia this blurry photo fills me with joy once i only saw these in a museum showcase but now they come to the garden global warming now i m sewing in a different way i ve tried and tested various patterns and this seems the best i m just waiting for a delivery of elastic a couple of years ago i read all among the barley by melissa harrison this was my favourite passage and i think it means more in theses days let s look forward to a better future posted by jackie at 12 53 10 comments older posts home subscribe to comments atom mo st of my pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them dear
