Challenges and Another Finished Shawl

So… life at Norwich House these days is all about dead rats and maggots. Really really stinky rats. Really gross maggots.

Best I spare you the details! (and photos) (only got 10 people coming to stay in around two weeks… brilliant!!!!) erk

I just need decomposition to hurry up a little! (The joys of a 100 plus year old house huh??)

On a brighter note:

Despite a little bit of accidental mowing, the daffies are slowly coming out!

Remember yesterdays unexpected potato haul?

Well… we wrapped the two biggest ones in foil and put them in the fire to bake – they turned out pretty perfect!! Def. going to do that again!

I also made chocolate chip biscuits (cookies) which really helped make the house smell a LOT better. No photos yet… ๐Ÿ™‚

And I finally went back and put that black edge around the multi-coloured shawl which I think finishes it off rather nicely!

Hope your day is less stinky than mine!

Cheers!
