A few photos taken last wekend on my visit to Gemma, Tim and Rosie. I made her a green dress, green knitted top and sweet little felt shoes!!! Gemma has to cover Rosie in cream - for her excema (can't spell it!!) which is quite bad - takes after you , Ant, and Gemma!!



Rosie was fascinated by all the marble busts on our trip to Chatsworth - we used the tickets we should have all used at Christmas but couldn't get there because of the snow. We went last Sunday and Rosie enjoyed it too - though she is rather heavy to carry and we had to take turns.

Rosie watching the ducks swimming around a fountain at Chatsworth - I knitted the beret but it's a bit big.










The hair is as red as ever - especially outside in the sun!
























































After visiting the house and having scones, jam amd cream!!!!! - we went for a walk around part of the grounds - you'll be able to go there for picnics next year, Ant - when you're living in the area.

After yesterday's spring day it is now blowing a freezing cold easterly force 5 wind so I had to go down on the high tide (an hour later than yesterday) to take contrasting photographs - but you can't feel how cold it really was!!!!!

It was so beautiful this morning that I went for a walk at 7.30 - it was one of the highest tides of the year and the water at Bordeaux looked lovely. If it had been summer I would have been swimming!!!!








The sheep opposite us are due to lamb shortly - can't wait to see them prancing around!
