Sunny times

We have been blessed with lovely warm weather during the lock down.


I have done my first batch of dying for when we’re actually able to cruise and open our new Jubilee Fibres business. Heather is looking after the rest of the wool as we don’t have room for it when the children stay.













 
In addition I’ve finished knitting a hand-spun rainbow shawl.


The children all have a pair of hand-spun boat slipper socks now.


I have plied some yarn, half of which my friend Yvonne gave me for my birthday a few years ago.


John bottled 21 litres of boat made wine.


The swans are still on their nest and we are continually entertained by Mr Swan chasing the geese away.













We had an 8 way Zoom quiz with the whole family & friends this week. The next quiz night is all booked up. In addition we did a silly Messenger session with Heather, Edmund & Ada where we all edited ourselves to have silly features.




We had our first boarding school session last week so Heather & Jason could go to work. The grandchildren’s school is open for key workers children, but the hours don’t cover Heather’s & Jason’s shifts.





The school have supplied lots of work for the kids to do.
 










We’ve had great fun exploring the wilderness & fields at the far side of the marina on the kids first day. We only had 4 minor casualties!!! I got my foot stick in a ditch & John had to pull me out, Nikita got a scratch from the dried reeds, Magnus grabbed some stinging nettles and Lance fell up the steps & made his nose bleed………..their parents really don’t need to worry about them when they’re here!!!!!




 











3 ‘things’ playing Lego.

Luckily the boats either side of us are empty. So we have the jetty all to ourselves.
Jetty BBQ.




Jetty dominoes.


 















Jetty PE with Joe Wicks on YouTube.


Chocolate chip cookies by Magnus who did all the washing up too.
