I really was quite restrained in my purchases on Friday. First some new pins - I have used so many pinning the edges of the stitcheries that I had run of of pins this size. These are lovely fine French pins
I was delighted to get these patterns at what I think are very reasonable prices
my biggest purchase was this new cutting mat. Here it is sitting on the old mat, which shows round the edges
although both mats were sold as measuring 24" x 36", that is the overall size of the new mat, but the working area of the old mat
when I had popped through to the kitchen on Saturday night, two things caught my eye. First, the light thrown by this little fishy wax burner
and second, this candle, which appears to be floating in the air, but is actually sitting on the kitchen table!
we had stayed at home for the weekend, as the weather wasn't very good, and when we went to Jedburgh yesterday for a walk, I decided to switch the camera to B&W, to go with the grey skies. First, we have two views of the old bridge
this may need a little bit of refurbishment
unlike the house next door, which is for sale
and this recently refurbished one on the High Street is also for sale
this tiny window is in Mary Queen of Scots house
as is this stone detail
and is this Mary's ghost looking out of the window ........ or is it just my reflection (with Malcolm looking on)!
of course we have to have a couple of shots of the Abbey
then it is back to colour for the delicious cheese scone we shared after our walk
we came over to Berwick this afternoon, and I have just been hanging out the bedroom window to take this photo of the rising moon!
