Back from broadband wilderness

Where have you been, I hear you ask.   Nowhere, unfortunately - unless you count trips to the eye department.  Our broadband has been unreliable to non-existant for about three weeks and we had no phone either for part of that, so communication has been limited to mobiles and the odd trip to daughter's to use online banking (and post a few comments on other people's blogs).  But mostly we've all been stuck at home.

I've been knitting madly - especially when stuck in the carpark or waitingroom, though it can be a bit too hot to knit in the hospital, so stand by for some knitting posts when I can get things committed to digital.  I've got lots of sewing planned but not started and I've read quite a lot too (and the house has received a bit more attention than usual), so there have been certain advantages.

Thank you for the lovely comments on the previous post about my Mother.  She would have been amazed at your interest and your kindness. I'm glad that I managed to convey how lovely she was.

Fingers crossed I'm now back online but I've a backlog of emails to deal with, so I'm sorry if you're waiting for a reply.
