Hello everyone.
It is great to be back, and thank you for all your good wishes last week when I was not feeling well. Unfortunately, it is D's turn to feel under the weather now. Hopefully, after a few day's rest, she will be up and about again.
Today, I had a lovely lunch with my hubby, son and his fiancée at a local restaurant to celebrate my birthday. It was a shame D couldn't be with us, but we promised to go out together again when she felt better.
We have started the third month of 2024, which will be a busy month here. Already, we have celebrated St David's Day, and although I don't have any Welsh relatives, I enjoyed making this miniature knitted daffodil to add to my twiggy tree. The daffodil is the national flower of Wales.
Looking a long way ahead, we already have something to look forward to next year. D was fortunate enough to see Torvil and Dean when they were involved with the 'Dancing on Ice shows, and we have some tickets for their final show in April 2025 before they retire. We are all very excited.
I'm hoping for some dry weather this week, but the rain clouds continue to dominate the skies. However, spring is slowly arriving with longer days and some intermittent rays of sunshine.
Wherever you are I hope you all keep well and have a lovely week.

I forgot to say that the daffodil pattern was from here . It was a free pattern if anyone wants to try it x

Sorry that D is not feeling too well at the moment, sending get well wishes.
I do like your daffodil and your twiggy tree looks great.

Thank you Jan for your good wishes. We had a lovely meal together. D is still suffering at the moment and is wrapped up in bed for now. A few days rest will be good for her. I enjoyed making the daffodil and will add a few more during the Spring. Have a good week .
DeleteSp pleased you're feeling better, you were missed! Hope D will soon be well too.. love the daff, we had Welsh cakes, not the diet but delish!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Chris. You are so kind. D will be ok in a few days I'm sure. Sometimes the diet needs to be left behind. I'm glad you enjoyed your Welsh cakes :-)
DeleteI'm pleased to hear you're feeling better. Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI hope D feels better soon - too many bugs around at this time of year.
Thank you for your kind wishes. I think we all want to see the back of the current crop of bugs and wet/windy weather. I'm looking forward to warmer and sunnier days.
DeleteThe daffodil is delightful.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad you are feeling better and I hope D is the same soon.
Belated Happy Birthday to you. xx

DeleteYes, Happy Birthday wishes and I will add my wishes for D to feel better very soon. So glad you are on the mend. Your daffodil is lovely, as is your twiggy tree. I enjoyed your post Beverley, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you Denise. I'm better now. D is still suffering at the moment but your kind wishes will cheer her up. The daffodil was a very quick and easy make so a perfect project for an evening x
DeleteLots of lovely things Bev, except poorly family. Here's to March. X
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. March makes me want to get outside as much as possible. When the sun is shining, I need to be out in the garden, even if it is just to potter. I just wish all those nasty bugs would disappear though!!
DeleteWishing you a belated Happy Birthday, it sounds like a lovely celebration. Such a shame that D couldn't join you, sending get well wishes to her. How exciting going to see Torvil and Dean, that's something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo. There are still a lot of nasty germs around at the moment but D will be fine very soon. We are all looking forward to the show next April.
DeleteI love that daffodil and it's given me an idea. I think I'll try and knit or crochet a bouquet of flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cherie. What a brilliant idea. I look forward to seeing your flowers :-)
DeleteHappy Birthday Beverly. I hope D feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christina. It's been quite a slow and steady week but enjoyable all the same. D continues to suffer with the cough but is much more herself now. Enjoy the rest of your weekend :-)
