On Friday afternoon at patch'n'chat, Maureen ordered commanded asked me to turn on my Hudl, and head for this website. Once there, she directed me to patterns which were in the sale. Having found the patterns, Margaret was then summoned to look at them, as Maureen was certain that she would like them. It turned out that she already had some of them, but she didn't have this one, and as she doesn't do the internet, I was tasked with ordering the pattern for her. I ordered it on Friday evening, and it arrived this morning ..... excellent service!
I should have been showing you photos of the snow on Saturday afternoon, but I had a slight oops when I was transferring my photos to my laptop this evening, and accidently deleted some of them (I also deleted photos that Malcolm had taken of a rainbow this morning - sorry dear!!). Because of Saturday's bad weather, we didn't go for a walk yesterday morning, but we did go for a delicious cheese scone at the woolen mill in Jedburgh
after all the snow and rain over the weekend, the rivers were very full in Hawick this morning. The small island where the trees are was completely submerged
the water in the Teviot, in the foreground, was flowing so hard that it was holding back the water from the Slitrig, coming in from the top right of the photo
the noise as the water crashed into the bridge was amazing - drowning out the traffic
although the rivers were running hard, they were nowhere near flooding, much to the relief of the local residents
I have been knitting away on the ball end sweater and finished the back last night. So to finish, here is Malcolm patiently modelling it for me, after I poked and pulled to get it to sit properly
