Happy Tuesday everyone.
Watch out for the one legged Pirate. I think he is up to his silly games. I am sure that he put a tea bag in my coffee cup this morning. Or maybe the Meerkats are back? ( insert jaws theme song here).

Good morning all! It's foggy here. It always is on November 6th unless there's a good wind thanks to the fireworks on November 5th. It's true, a single evening where bonfires are lit and fireworks are fired just about everywhere in the UK affects our weather!
I'd suspect the meerkats Carol, they have been quiet for quite a while. They probably got carried away after Trick or Treat... or maybe they were following Yorkshire's Mischief Night on November 4th [emoji35]
They'll be hiding out in the cellar somewhere. I'll dust and polish the jellyfish so we can see a bit better... and perhaps we could help pack away the Wool Spider's Halloween Decorations as they are making it easier for the meerkats to move round undetected? I am sure she won't mind, if she exists, as she'll be starting to knit Christmas decorations soon.

Thanks Linda. Hmm - well it is spring time over here so I guess spring cleaning is still good.
It is scary that your weather gets affected so quickly by the fireworks. There must be a huge amount of people firing off fireworks. I hope that it blows away soon so that you can have clear skies again.
I just have to share this beautiful photograph of my niece with you
It was taken by internationally renowned photographer Rankin as part of a campaign for Airbnb who are working with the UK's Heritage Crafts Association to promote crafts.
My niece and her Dad are both woodworkers. Her Dad revived the ancient craft of pole lathe wood turning (leg power not motors to spin the lathe) and now travels the world advising on archaeological digs as well as making wonderful wooden bowls; he received and MBE medal from the Queen for his work to ensure ancient craft skills are not lost.
My niece, who grew up with an axe in her hand and wood-shavings in her bed
, specialises in wooden spoon making and teaches the craft.

Wooden spoons? Tut-tut, Linda! I think you and @CarolM should put that rugby match behind you now.
She’s gorgeous!
Half of my cards that will be traveling outside Europe are ready! Planning to send them tomorrow

She is truly beautiful & unique! What a wonderful story!
It's so unlike her in many ways! It just goes to show what an amazing photographer can see in their subject.
Niece is always the one in the scruffiest of clothing that looks like she has been dragged through a hedge backwards (probably has actually!) and her hair is any shade... blue is quite popular! She and my daughter, the dormouse-catching ecologist I posted a photo of before, are first cousins through my sister and I.
Those blue eyes are from my Dad's side of the family! Daughter's freckles are her red-head Dad's fault

Love it! I love all things made from wood, let alone hand crafted one of a kind type items. For a long time i was into carving “Old World” Father Claus characters and angels and other Christmas bazaar items. I took orders one year...and got so many orders from friends and co-workers that I was over whelmed. Had to carve, paint, wrap, box and ship off all before Xmas... very stressful.... Your niece’s spoons are great. It takes a lot of talent, time and patience. I started, but have yet to finish a hand carved Welsh wooden spoon attached to a chain. all from one piece of wood. I guess I should finish. When in Yorkshire, used to get all my wood from - Boroughbridge-based John Boddy Timber - a family business which was in operation for 120 years.
As I am half Welsh, we were given a love spoon on our wedding day. It hangs in the hall next to the front door
