I'm back...

....Did you miss me?

Lucy this morning in the winter sunshine.

I went to stay with family for a few nights, so no computer.


I stayed in a lovely bedroom that had one of Hubby's bird drawings on the wall. There is also a very fine ginger cat living there.

But also we have had not one but TWO nights at the theatre this week. On Tuesday, Hubby and I went to the Lowry theatre to see The Woman in Black. A play based on the fantastic book by Susan Hill.
Then last night we went to The Royal Exchange in Manchester to see Blithe Spirit.


A very funny Noel Coward play and really very well acted we thought.

So you see, don't feel sorry for me I have had two lovely meals out and had my tea cooked for me on other nights so NO cooking for me AT ALL this week-Hubby did have to fend for himself a couple of nights but I left him plenty of tins of beans!


Sunrise this morning.


Today I plan to potter. I do love to potter about. I want to tidy in the garden a bit and bring in my much neglected hyacinths from the green house before they flower and I miss them. I might get some crafting done too.

  6. Welcome back Lyn! It looks like you had a lovely time away. I haven't been to see a play for years. I think I should make an effort to do so this year. x Lucy looks so lovely in the morning sunshine too. x

  10. Glad you've had a great time. We saw 'The Woman in Black' several years ago now. The book is really good too. Susan Hill is one of my favourite authors, although I must say, I prefer her modern fiction to her more recent crime novels. Enjoy your pottering! Ros
    PS Lovely cat piccys!

  12. The cats are really cute. I love going to the theatre but dont get the opportunity to go much now since moving to the sticks! It is the one thing I have missed since leaving London. Glad to see you back.

  17. Ah, Lucy is glad you are home! Sounds like a super couple of days. I love going to the theatre but usually only manage once or twice a year. I loved The Woman in Black when I read it although it did spook me a bit, as did the TV adaptation - I've never seen it on stage though. Blithe Spirit is such fun:)

  20. I just found you blog as a link on Owlmoon and have been enjoying browsing through it. Lucy is beautiful and quite like one of our kits, Tom. Your crafts are lovely, too. I must try that dove. I'm a big fan of doves and hearts and loved your buttony hearts, too!

  24. I do love the photographs of your tabbies, we have two and they are both as daft as brushes. And your drawings are great.
