Meet Elizabeth Bennett

A knitted dolly - great fun to make!


Audley End

On one of the few days of summer, Ben and I went to Audley End.  We went by bus from Cambridge to Saffron Walden -  it takes an hour, winding through several very attractive villages and countryside - from where we walked to Audley End.  No photography allowed in the house unfortunately.

A magnificent display of potted plants in one of the greenhouses in the kitchen garden.

A real radiator - in the coach house of all places!

Roman bread

We went to the Pompeii exhibition at the British Museum.  Lots of fascinating things including some carbonised Roman loaves.  No photography allowed so when I got home I made my own - not too carbonised though!

Easter

Too cold for gardening so I resorted to baking on Friday...

and then knitting, using up some oddments left over from other projects.
Maybe next weekend it will be gardening as planned.  There's a limit on how many pairs of gloves anyone needs!

Nowhere to hide!

He wasn't impressed!
