I find it hard to believe it is almost a month since I last posted anything!
A bit late, but Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you have arrived well and safe in 2021. I feel quite certain, that I am not the only one, happy to get to the end of 2020 and looking towards the new year with quiet optimism. Sure, it is not going to be quick or easy, but I do think the worse is behind us. Besides, I think if 2020 has taught us anything, it is that we are all a lot better at dealing with change than we were just a short 12 months ago.

| Tilly is happy to lend a paw around the place. Especially if it involves chasing sticks or getting a ride on the quad looking for rabbits. |
We left for the family beach house straight after and I haven't picked up my needle again until last week. The beach house, is the only place Adrian and I go and do absolutely nothing. It was wonderful and much needed. No chores, no computer, I (almost) didn't checked emails and hardly opened my phone for almost a week. Bliss!
Back home, this time of year is busy in the vineyard and in the garden and, oh we had a wedding last week. Our eldest son and his sweet girlfriend got married on Saturday - YEAH! It was a gorgeous wedding, I didn't know he was such a sweet, romantic softie!! Of course, they both looked beautiful, the ceremony was so touching, the venue fabulous and the party that followed simply so much fun.
With all the festivities behind us, I think it is time for me to seriously get on with things.. first thing being finishing the crewel project. It has now been on my frame for much longer than I like so my goal for this week is to finish. As you can see, all I have left to do the three leaves above the main flower (or pomegranate perhaps?) and smaller flowers on either side. How hard can it be!? Let's see how I go!
Have a wonderful week everyone! Stay well, Stay safe & Keep stitching,
Anna XX
