Friday

Good morning, everyone.
Yesterday was one of those gorgeous summer days when the sun shines, the skies are blue, the breeze is gentle and the temperature is just right.  Today looks like being more of the same.  Lovely. 

I had a nice lie in (a lie in for me, anyway) before getting up and doing my tour of the estate!  Just before midday, Beth turned up.  We had lunch and then, because Beth needs it, we popped over to And Sew On to see if we could find the fabric to do the border and binding for my two bed covers.

It was harder than one would think.  There were plenty of blues but some were too dark, some too light, some too grey, some too patterned . . .   In the end we decided on some but there wasn't enough for both beds so we asked the lady to hold the fabric while we went next door to the cafe to have a diet coke apiece and to discuss it.

The outcome was that we bought what they had and took the fabric details to search elsewhere on the understanding that if we didn't find any, as long as the edging was the same, it would be fine if the inner border was different.  It just needs to 'go'.

Once home, Beth did pin some down and fired off an email.  There was an answer this morning - yes they have some (but it possibly isn't enough) and it is out of production so they won't be able to get any more.  Pan B may become plan A!

Trust me to choose something out of production!

At least Beth can get started on one of them.  Once home, what we bought went in the machine and then out on the line and, being a perfect drying day, by the time Beth left, it was all dry and ironed and ready to use.

Today starts off with some tuition and then I will be packing and off to Dad's after lunch.  Must remember to give the garden a good old soaking before I leave.

Have a great day and a lovely weekend.  xx
