Text of the page (random words):
ad went a perfect life mentioned above gingerbread mansion by lizbie brown because it had tiny strange typeface which i couldn t read next i ll be re reading a couple more of angela thirkells books unless i go and collect another of the british library crime classics which is now on the reservation shelf for me or even better death of kings the 5th and new rennie airth book in his inspector john madden historical crime series there is a three year gap since he wrote the 4th so i ve forgotten all about the character but i know they are well written back soon sue at february 16 2017 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels good books monday 13 february 2017 we were hopeful but we were hoping for exchange last friday but it didn t happen no surprise there our solicitor said she phoned mrs f s solicitor 9 times friday morning with no returned call then on saturday morning we had a call from mrs f seems there will be further delay as the boiler in the house that she is buying should have been serviced before she buys the house but when someone went to service it there was no oil in the tank so it couldn t be done her solicitor has advised her not to move unless the service is done for goodness sake they ve had since mid october to sort this out now we don t know when exchange and completion will happen maybe next week what i want to know is if the boiler fails it s service will we then have to wait while they re negotiate we were trying to be helpful by letting her choose completion date now i m getting just a tad annoyed anyway enough of all that hassle which i wasn t supposed to be mentioning again what have we been up to over the last few days on thursday we went to the viewing afternoon at an auction house to look at a rug the living room at the cottage has a wood floor so we need something to make it feel warmer and i m trying to avoid buying new things the rug i d found on their online catalogue wasn t so good in real life which is something we often find but there was another smaller one much nicer so we left a bid on it friday and off to visit our youngest daughter and our little grandaughter she is certainly growing nicely saturday out again first stop was the potato day you can see more about east anglian potato day here or on my 2014 post here or 2015 post here for a few seed potatoes we are only going to grow a bed with half first earlies and half second earlies so only needed 10 of each mid suffolk district council were there as they always are giving away their jute shopping bags picked up one of course that s about the 12th i ve had from them over the years then onto the auction house to collect the rug which we won and look round the charity shops in the town nothing of any interest seen in any of the 8 or was it 9 and harking back to my moan on the last post the oxfam shop was closed for a refit but in poundland we spotted more alive looking raspberry canes so 3 spent we d taken a flask as always so didn t need to splurge out for anything then home the raspberry canes were put in a pot and the potatoes are chitting it feels so good to be doing things we love again saturday pm and more rugby on tv i also wrote a bit for the suffolk smallholders newsletter to see if anyone has any tree seedlings or saplings that they don t want we are life members of the society because of all the work we did running it many years ago so have been getting the newsletter even though we d left the smallholding i m quite keen to get involved with the society again will see how i feel when the agm comes round in september too cold to venture to a car boot sale sunday morning in fact there was a covering of snow first thing i did go for a brisk walk down to aldi for milk but glad to get back in the warm again more rugby and then snooker on tv in between all the sport we have been sorting out and filling more boxes the cupboards are almost empty as is the chest freezer just a few bits left for meals this week after that i ll be daily shopping for what we need until you know what welcome to felicity ljl and cherie who are new followers and thank you everyone for comments on posts last week and to briony who said she loved the blog plus w at midsuffolkmeadow who reminded me of another good charity shop that i will be visiting frequently once we move back in a day or so sue at february 13 2017 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels potatoes friday 10 february 2017 an old fashioned charity shop do you remember when charity shops were full to the brim with all sorts of interesting things before the days when they felt the need to keep up with posh clothes shops before the days when they had a re fit every other year and all their hangers had to be the right way round the chain charity shops all seem to be much the same now neat tidy and colour coded luckily we have the emmaus charity shop not far from us which is still a lovely place to search through and i found a couple of old interesting items in there the other day the tin is an old biscuit tin with chinese pictures it s going to be our tea caddy and the bottle is made of very thick glass tinted green and full of imperfections it has j k s on the base which i googled and found it means it was made by john kilner and sons sometime around the mid 1800 s it will be good for a few flowers on the deep window sills in the kitchen at the cottage the old part of the cottage pre dates this bottle i dithered over them for a few minutes but decided i would regret not getting them so 3 50p for the charity shop and they came home and made me very happy welcome to new followers lyssa linda jane sarah and sparrow back tomorrow sue at february 10 2017 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels charity shop bargains thursday 9 february 2017 worth a try the fruit i missed most last summer after leaving the smallholding was raspberries and strawberries apples pears plums gooseberries cherries apricots and figs but mostly raspberries there are no raspberries at the cottage shame just a couple of blackcurrant and gooseberry bushes plus one each of apple pear and plum trees a couple of weeks back i bought three packs of summer fruiting raspberry canes from poundland for 3 they didn t have any more but today i noticed wilkinsons had packs of 3 canes for 2 50 each and they also had a fig for 3 50 at that price they were worth a go if i wait until we move and then order from one of the big seed plant companies i might have to pay 3 times that although we may well get more later from somewhere the raspberries have just been popped into a pot of compost and kept just damp in the summerhouse shed the canes will go in one of the beds at the cottage as soon as they have been weeded the fig has been planted up properly in a medium pot and will go in the greenhouse at the cottage until we decide it s best place outdoors i would have preferred to have 6 canes all the same rather than 2 each of 3 varieties but this will do for a start will need to separate the polka from the rest as i ve discovered they are proper autumn fruiting rather than just a very late summer so need different pruning didn t realise that when i got them 2 canes of autumn raspberries are not much use really so i will need more of those wilkinsons had a good range of fruit bushes lots of different things some unusual i might go back for another look although we ll have to buy a bag of compost if i get anything else before we move but as we don t really know what we ll have room for it might be getting ahead of ourselves i see i ve lost a follower who were you why did you leave i am joking here not serious back soon sue at february 09 2017 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fig raspberries wednesday 8 february 2017 library book photo i collected a massive pile of books from the library last week i said i wanted to re read angela thirkell now that i have the book about the characters so i ordered several i think i may have over ordered as there are 5 above and the one i d already started should keep me busy they ll be easy reading through dull february as we wait the lizbie brown is curious i read 6 of her books many years back they were crime mysteries featuring a private detective who had an office over a quilt shop in bath each title was the name of a quilting pattern the last one was written in 2001 but while fiddling on fantastic fiction website i came across this not in the crime series gingerbread mansion published in 2009 i have no idea what it is the book london shadows by valery avery is an old biography i ve read london spring a while ago christopher somerville has written dozens of books on walking i hope this is a good one i ve read some others by rafaella barker time to try another the expert by bernard knight is another of the 7 old books of his that have been re published some were ok but others dreadful thanks for comments yesterday more moving house news next time i hope back very soon sue at february 08 2017 email this
