In The English Kitchen today, Eating with Diabetes.  A bunch of hints and tips on how to control your diet, plus a plethora of recipes I have cooked that are Diabetic friendly. 

Have a wonderful Friday. It was really mild here yesterday.  I was enjoying having my bedroom window open and listening to all of the birdsong. So beautiful!

Whatever you get up to today, don't forget!

    1. I can’t imagine Elaine. She will miss him dreadfully. They’ve been together for so long. I wonder how much longer she will be with us. Many close couples don’t last long without each other. I love the royals. Love and hugs, xoxo

  3. Love that little travel watercolour kit. I did my second Zoom class for watercolour yesterday. Not sure if it is my craft, but it is good to learn new techniques.

  5. I wish I saw a pattern like that, when my Mom knitted and crochet all kinds of vests for me, when I was in high school. The length would of been just right too!
    I learned how to hem by hand bc I hemed all my dresses and skirts bc they were too long for me.

    Nice weather all week and today it's in the 70's! I've had both doors open and have been Spring cleaning to freshen things up.
    Hopefully I'll start painting my walls downstairs bc I'm sick of wallpaper! It's been on way too long!

    Stay safe and healthy!xoxo
