Not a bumbag

I've planted out some very pathetic-looking cosmos and California poppy seedlings.  I just hope they grow before I forget where I've planted them and pull them up thinking they're weeds.

I was going to mow the lawn but I've come in to get a hot Lemsip. Husband has a bad throat and cough while I have a tickly dry mouth. Trying to fight it off, but very thankful it didn't happen last week.

I admired hers last time we were in Italy so Nuora made me this lovely bag.


When I say I admired hers what I mean is that I said, "Oh, will you make one for me please?" I hate carrying stuff in my hands when I'm walking so this is ideal for phone, keys, doggy bags and treats. My grandchildren are calling it a bumbag but it's much prettier than that.

And some final photos. Maybe.

Such beautiful kids! They can't take a bad photo. And the bag is lovely. Does she sell her work? I seem to remember your talking about that a while ago. She's certainly talented.

Good Gower article, Liz! And remember the parable of Martha and Mary, where Jesus praises whichever one of them (I can't remember now who it was) ditched housework in order to listen to Jesus teaching instead.

It's a very pretty bag and so useful.

Thank you, Boud. She used to sell her work but being self-employed in Italy is difficult with strange taxes to pay before you start. She is very talented.

THat's Mary. I've always associated more with Martha!

Nice bag. I love being able to carry things and have my hands free.
