I like Dr who, Snoopy/Peanuts, sewing, quilting, EPP & bag making, photography, cats and being kind. Two of my favourite quotes for life are 'Run Fast; Laugh Hard; Be Kind' and ' What's the point of being grown up, if you can't be childish sometimes'.
A pub sign for a very exclusive London Pub. The Cross Keys Pub is within the Tower of London and only open to the Yeoman Body (Beefeaters), Tower staff and invited dignitaries I would love to go in for just one pint.
Went on a Stitchtopia quilting weekend retreat a few weeks back and learned an interlocking pattern, with different colours for each 'round'. This is a small lap, for a cat to sit on, using the design. It's got thin wadding and a fleece back. #quilt #quilting #patchwork #stitchtopia #knotwork

Finished this crib / lap quilt. It's a gift for a work colleague who is expecting a boy and is a West Ham fan. These are the only plain blue and redish fabrics I had. Giving it to them today, hope they like it #quilt #quilting #patchwork #Hammers

Power to the workers! Passed a GMB Union protest / Strike, seeking improved London weighting allowance, on the way in to work today. They picked a nice day for it. #photography #unions #people #activism
Tell me when it's safe to wake up I think a lot of us would like to be like my girl here, and sleep through the next few years! #photography #cats

Camellia japonica, just starting to come into bloom. #photography #flower #nature
Silhouette of spring Taken early afternoon in Tailgate Park. This tree seems to be refusing to accept spring is on the way, as not a leaf bus to be seen. #photography #nature #trees
