Welcome

Welcome to my 'Whirled', an odd place, where I garden and grow, bake, preserve, paint, stitch, write, craft and create something out of nothing for both those I know and those I don't To give me an idea of who's been visiting me here, you can write in the guestbook.

Visiting New Places

I try to travel as often as possible. My photo gallery features several pictures from our latest trip.

Go have a peep!

I don't know where January went, still it has passed, and we are into feb now. I am re jigging my old blog, so it is off line for the moment - I'm reading through all the old entries, the ones that make me smile will go back on, the ones that don't, won't. Am changing my new blog too, haven't decided yet. So it will be back when I have decided how it is going to be. Photos are still the same though, they don't change so for yellow things and other stuff that has been uploaded go to my flickr page, which is.

I am a dizzy bint who tries to make the best of everything, I am a mum to two grown children and one that is nearly grown. All three are my life long projects, who I will treasure forever. I adore my husband who is the love of my life. I take care of my friends with whom I cannot do without. I am a self employed stitcher of one offs and originals. I also administer and organise logistical conundrums that would fox most people. I read, write, understand and try to speak a little Spanish, and I have read, written, understood and spoken more Dutch. I love to garden, to cook and preserve, to make and do and to craft objects that make others smile and remind my friends and family how important they are to me.....
