nearly the weekend

It is Friday tomorrow, I love Friday evenings as you have the joy of a lie in to come and a whole two days ahead to do exactly what you please.
Blogworld is such a lovely place isn't it?
Last weekend I had a great day with two fellow bloggers Diane and Kathy, in Manchester. We exchanged gifts and I promised I would show you a photo.

Diane, as you may or may not know, secretly works for the Yorkshire tourist board. She always takes an opportunity to promote her beloved county. Her gift was a collection of Yorkshire themed goodies and three handmade cards and two pretty lavender bags. Kathy gave me the most beautifully embroidered bookmark.
Then another lovely blogger sent me a surprise in the post this week. Jenny sent me these-

a pretty handmade lavender heart, a bar of devine chocolate and the most delicious looking block of nougat, all wrapped up in a lovely fabric and bow. Jenny had made the parcel up with my new workroom in mind, just the right colours!
The joiner can't make it until March now so the workroom is on hold-again!

It will be great when it's done, I'm sure. Meanwhile all Art and Crafting is on hold.

But spring is just around the corner.

I found a few pots of hyacinths in the greenhouse, planted and enjoyed last spring, left under the bench and forgotten about and blooming away. I popped them on the top, gave them a drink and will bring them in at the weekend.

It was a lovely day today with a great sky on the drive home.
