London looked like it had had a bath today. Not surprising as yesterday it rained practically without stopping the entire day (occasionally the rain did stop and it hailed for a while). This morning everything was bright and sparkly and the sun shone on the daffodils.
It’s kind of weird having daffodils in March - I’ve always thought of them as my ‘birthday’ flower as, back home, they usually start popping up towards the middle of August. Daffodils in March is just another of those ‘oh yeah, I live in London now’ things. Like buying crisps to have with your lunch and knitting on the tube instead of driving to work. I totally dig the not-driving-to-work deal by the way (lol).
And the purple sock yarn? It wriggled up from the bottom of the Lorna’s Laces delivery, chewed its way out of the plastic bag, caterpillar-humped across the shop and … fell into my bag. Would you believe it!
Actually, without going into details, I’ve been under a bit of a cloud lately and the sock yarn is a gift to self. There are few ills that purple sock yarn can’t cure.
Ciao!

The purple is lovely, spring is coming and hoefully the sun will be out a bit more and brighten things up. Have you gone through 2 winters ’cause that is hard (speaking from across world moving experience!)?
I don’t have my reading specs on and thought Bronte said Farts, I can’t stop laughing!!!

Thank you thank you for putting up the pattern for Bronte’s gloves. I’ve just been admiring them on her site and think they are soooo pretty. I can see another WIP being cast on very soon. Ta! Hx

Ooh, spring. That would be nice! I made sure to plant some bulbs this fall so I would know when spring really arrives….but since there’s a foot of snow on top of the flower bed, it’s gonna be a while before I see any daffodils, I’m afraid. :-(
Very lovely purple yarn, though. Cheers me right up to look at it!

What a beautiful picture of daffodils and purple yarn! It’s cheering. This is my first harsh winter (snow, bitter cold, grey skies, &c.) after spending years where the winters brought flowers, cool air and sunshine by the bucketful. My soul needed a little cheering. Thank you!
