Lovely walk home ,thank you.Where are the canal boats? Also where did you get the hand soap from, not that I'm going to be able to find it here.... I'm planning to start on some crocheting hexagons after being inspired by your blog, thanks.

Lucy I had to come by and tell you that I learned to crochet yesterday (via youtube tutorials !) and then this morning used your flower instructions and made my first flower and am so happy and pleased so thank you as you (and Hen) were the reason I wanted to crochet in the first place!!!

Lucy, I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. You don't know how much I needed to read that post yesterday and today to remind me of all the wonderful simple pleasures in life.
Lots of love to you all.

Your today is very loveable indeed. Reading you and now writing my own blog does really focus my mind on appreciating the little bits of life that make up the happy moments. Looks like you had a beautiful day up there.
May I ask, where did you get your necklace - I know you said it was hand-made, but was that by you (and if so, will you be making some for your Etsy shop -please ??) - i just adore it!
Looking forward to hearing more about the teatowel quilt -that's a gorgeous pile you have there. x x

Those tiny animals are so incredibly cute, I just had to stare for a minute. What are those funny boats on the water?

Such beautiful and cheery colors! I've given you an award. You can find it at my blog.
I enjoy reading here everyday. Such a bright spot in my day.

Hi Lucy, once again, your pics are fantastic and your happy attitude so refreshing. Tell me about the boats in the water along your walk home today. Since I live in the US, I'm not familiar with those and am curious. Almost as curious as seeing the transformation of your bathroom. Thanks for just being you. I join with the others who say "you make my day". xox
