Its been a while!

 Its been more than a hot minute since I last posted! January 2020 was my last post!  

It was before that horrible word that became so common to us all "covid" was in everyday conversation and before we relocated to another part of the UK.  Life has certainly moved on.

We relocated to Kent in September 2020.  We moved here for work and it is very strange to live away from family, especially the older children and grandchildren who we sorely miss. I've completed a second degree and graduated as well.  I've been pretty busy!  Little Miss PB has left school and is now in her second year of college.  Time trots on so fast!

 Kent is called the garden of England for a reason, Its a beautiful part of the UK.  Much like Norfolk you can be in a busy built up area one minute and the next you are at the beach.  

The county is very varied in its history and architecture.  Rochester has a very historic high street which was loved by Charles Dickens (there is a festival to celebrate this fact every year)  while places such as Margate and Broadstairs make the most of the family seaside experience.  We have had many days out exploring the area but we find the more we explore the more there is to see!

On the crafting side of things I have been trying my hand at many different things.  Most recently I have been sewing a handmade patchwork quilt for Miss PB's 18th birthday present.  I wanted something she could enjoy but that would have some meaning to it.  I last made her a quilt when she was five years old so she is most definitely due another one.  I shall post pictures when I have finished.  It is a 3/4 bed size and has turned into a mammoth task.  To be honest I didn't realise how much of a huge job it would be! In early May I sustained a injury to my back which meant I was laying flat for two months.  I have since had surgery which hasn't worked and so I will be having a different operation in the near future.  This has rather called a halt to a lot of things but I'm grateful that I can now walk, albeit painfully.  Hopefully the new surgery will be performed soon and I can get back to normal, whatever that is!  

Well its time to go now.  I promise that I wont be away for so long again!  Thank you for sticking with me.  I hope to meet you back in this space again soon!

Bye for now!
