A Big Conker and a Fairy!

Hello to you all out there in Blogland, I hope you are all well, but sending hugs and good wishes for those of you who are not so tip top.

Well it's cold here tonight, and I've put on for the first time since buying them in Iceland my Elfshoes.  They are so cosy, but the bells on the toes are doing Alistair's head in, but I don't care I love them.

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my last card, I do appreciate that you take the time to pop in and comment.  I would like to welcome Marlene, my latest follower and who lives here in Inverness, I met   her today with Fiona who is another crafty friend.  Marlene has fabulous projects on her blog, and some of you might know of her already, but do pop in and visit her at http://cardsmadebymarlene.blogspot.co.uk/

My hubby has been busy in the kitchen today as he brought home from his travels yesterday some mussels which he turned into Mussel Chowder.  Now I'm not for that sort of meal, not keen on seafood, I can do prawns in a cocktail sauce, that's about it, but I tasted some of the sauce and it was gorgeous.  He thoroughly enjoyed it, and hopefully it won't aggrivate his gout as seafood does.  Me? well I had a piece of Gala pie and beetroot.  I'm right off cooking these days and I don't bother all that much when it's just me I'm feeding.  He has done well this week as he made a scrumptious apple pie on Tuesday from our own apples, he is a clever boy and there is no end to his talents, here is something else he's made;

 A Big Conker, he carved it from a log, stained and varnished it and put an old piece of rope throught it. He wanted to show the size that's the reason ther is a one of those little bottles of wine beside it.

A closeup.  When Alistair was at Community Service, this was one of the projects he had the clients make, it was much larger and it still sits in their grounds.  I think it is rather cool.

Well that's it for tonight, I hope everyone has a good weekend whatever you will be doing.  We haven't much planned, it will depend on how the weather shapes up, not looking good for tomorrow though, perhaps Sunday will be better and we might get for drive somewhere.
Bye for now, Hugs Kate x
