A year in photos

Thank you, Sue, for the idea.  One photo for each month in 2019.

January:

In the middle of January I started what has turned out to be one of the joys of the year and my life - pottery.  The first effort, the mousehog, was far from a success but then - this.  I still love it!
Beth now comes along with me and it's a brilliant time together.

February:

A trip to 'Sarfend' with a dear friend.  Brrr, it was cold.

March:

It has to be this, my lovely Mum, who passed away on Mothering Sunday, March 31st.  A wonderful lady who lived an honest, loving and generous life and who we will never forget.
RIP Mum.  Love you.

April:

A coach trip to Sandringham with another dear friend.

May:

In May, I had my bathroom done.  Oh, it was such a mess and a stand up, top to toe wash isn't nearly as satisfactory or satisfying as a shower or a bath.  Still, I survived, and I do love my new bathroom.  I've even managed to keep it very tidy and oragnised since then.  Amazing!

June:

I did quite a lot in June, including a visit to Suzanne's with trips out, and the garden was very satisfying this month (and all through the summer, in fact).

July:


My first ever holiday in Southwold.  Of all the photos I took, this reminds me most of the thing I enjoyed most - walking up and down the beach next to the waves, watching the patterns and enjoying the sounds.  Gorgeous.

August:

My first ever cucumbers - and they were brilliant, keeping me in fruit all supper and well into the autumn too.  One to do again this year, definitely.

September:

It's very sad but I don't seem to have taken many photos in September.  However, Beth was very productive, starting to build up her Christmas stock (and yes, they all sold - in fact, she had to make more).

October:


I was on holiday at the Thetford Center Parcs and spent a lovely day at Brandon Country Park.

November:

Right at the end of the month I had a couple of nights in Bury St Edmunds, meeting the lovely Sue over coffee.  I also met this extremely friendly robin.

December:

I started with a crafty thing so I'll finish with one too.  The Dickensian mice I made for a customer of Beth's.  She loved them and her mum send Beth a clip of her daughter playing with them.  So cute!


It was nice looking back over the last year's photos.  I'm not doing resolutions but I ought to take more and maybe I will make it a daily thing.
I hope you've enjoyed looking at them too.
