January...


How's your January going?
I have a love/hate relationship with this month.
I love all the busy, happy, holiday crowds.
I love that friends rent houses here especially to come and spend time with us.
Other friends come and stay with us, and we love that too.
I love going to the seasonal cinema at our lovely old Mechanics Hall.
I love the cheerful and busy Saturday markets with stallholders we don't get at any other time of the year.
(blueberries, smoothies, jams, organic apples and garlic...)
Usually, I love getting a bit of time at the beach!
On the flip side....
I hate having to squeeze in sewing around trying to spend a proper amount of time with our friends.
I hate being so tired (from all the socialising) that by this time of the month all I want to do is stay in and have a week of early nights!
And now, I've got a wretched Summer cold (thanks for sharing, my darling old bloke), so I'm grumpy, tired, and have a hideous cough as well.
Oh, and a ps...
I'm not sure if you noticed, but the lovely vintage tea towel (1983) I just snapped a photo of by some bizarre coincidence has all the days of January falling exactly the same as this year.
Now that's a little spooky isn't it?

I hear you Jo, but you know what I'm not loving about Jnauary? Everyone else around me seems to be on holidays except me!
