Welcome to my blog!
I've decided to set this up to share a little bit about the walks that we do, what books I read and basically our life in general. I intend to keep adding different links and information along the way, so please come back from time to time and see what there is, and feel free to comment on anything.

New toy!

I've got a new crafting tool which I'm very excited about. It's a Pyrography pen with different nibs to do different effects. I had a bit of play with it at the weekend, and this is what I did ......




I love it!! The possibilities are endless now with wood. It means I can do designs on the wooden spoons and letter openers I've been making amongst other things. The cubes I've used are going to be photograph/memo holders once I've drilled a hole in the top for the appropriate holder. 

So many ideas!! 

And the running is going well too. I joined DD on our usual 45 minute run last week, increasing the running intervals. Then we did our Parkrun on Saturday where I didn't beat my previous time but DD did. And yesterday we all went up to the Lake District, to Lower Borrowdale, for a 5 mile run. I say we all went - DH took Oscar for a walk while I ran with DD. 



It was really good. We ran further on the track than I'd walked previously, so it was lovely to get some practice on different terrain - Tarmac, gravel and grass. 


I've got lots to do this week. I want to get a couple of spoons finished, and get another letter opener done. I'm not sure I'll manage it, but I'll try. I've got a three day craft event coming up so it would be nice to take a couple and see what reaction I get. So I've been sanding the latest spoon tonight. I just hope the sealer arrives in time......
