    Oooh, the willow 'fence' is going to look so beautiful when in full leaf swaying in the breeze. Ted is amazing with his driving/farm skills. You look gorgeous with or without makeup xx love to you all

      Ted just loves driving about in big vehicles that can do other things than just getting from a-b. I’m so hopeful the willow screen will be beautiful and functional. Fingers crossed!

    Hi Gayna! Thank you for a lovely video today! I enjoyed every minute watching you and the family again.You are so lovely and I just love the way you just get stuck in to all your chores! I think the willow hedge will be perfect and quite lovely! Take care all of you and thank you for a “proper lush” video! Love from WW xxx

      Proper lush! Awwwww. Gotta throw yourself at the jobs or they don’t get done and I can’t bare the thought of having my home go to rack and ruin. I wish someone would do it for me though. Maybe one day I’ll master the low maintenance way.

      I get in such a muddle if I don’t anchor down my knitting to frog it. I love retrieving yarn to use again. It makes me feel thrifty. 🤩 My back is murder after so much digging, I’ve been digging and raking out there again today. I hate it but it will be worth it. X

    Thank you for the frogging method, I’ve not ever thought to do it that way. I just get my wool all tangled. I actually LOVE frogging items that I don’t wear. I would much prefer to frog and make something I’ll wear rather than have a knitted item sit forlornly in my closet knowing I’ll never wear it. It either will get donated or pulled out and done so with joy!

    • @talesfromcuckooland
      @talesfromcuckooland  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don’t mind frogging at all. I don’t mind doing it mid project if I have made a mistake or unravelling a whole project to salvage the yarn. I think we are in the minority though.

    Oh, Gayna, it's such fun to see your lovely face again. Well, your frogging method is new to me and it's fantastic. I wish I'd known of it last week when I frogged a mohair sweater. It was hellish, I tell you. Your blue and white quilt will be ever so beautiful. Of all the color combos in the world, light blue and white is my very fave. So fresh and delightful. How old is your rock wall do you suppose? I always enjoy the outdoor shots of your home. It looks sooo English and don't we all have romantic notions of lovely old romantic British homes?

    I’m still waiting to plant our garden. We still get snow up into May here. I remember when Harald’s voice started to break. He’s 16 now and soon to be 17 in June. He went from having this lovely alto voice, to a tenor in about 3 weeks. Now he’s a good strong bass. Our nephew was about 4 or 5 and hadn’t seen Munchie( aka Harald) in a good month or 2. Haralds voice had changed and our nephew walked up to me and said.. Moster Kori( Moster is Swedish for Mothers sister) , Harald won’t stop talking funny. Make him stop , Make him stop please. “ I laughed for a good 10 minutes after that. Ted is getting so big! He is so lucky that he has already found his bliss. Most people go their whole lives not being able to do that. You and Toby have done a fantastic job raising your boys.
    That wall reminded me of the one my best friends Dad put in his yard. He’s from Nottingham. AND EVERY YEAR. He would send us all out to fill the cracks on the wall he had.

    • @talesfromcuckooland
      @talesfromcuckooland  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1
