Without doubt a very mixed week here at the barn, the weather has been once more amazing and work as been comfortable, only one problem had my hackles up and that was our phone line going dead without warning, working one minute, dead the next. Of course this was followed by a nice clear conversation with a very nice lady in India, who mistakenly took me for a BT engineer, asking me to carry out major surgery on the phone socket and ending up stating that a real engineer will turn up any time in the next five days, grrrrrrrrrrr!
I must say summer is looking well here in the fens with harvest starting and the countryside in full bloom, wildlife seems to be enjoying this time of warmth and longer daylight hours and each morning brings huge wide blue skies.
At last I'm back cycling and enjoying every minute, my knee is settling down and the miles seem easier, still no lycra for this bead maker (apart from the hidden padded shorts that is), but my notebook and pen are always with me and I think it's time to get some photo's posted too.
On the bead side of things, I've been sorting sets ready to list and sorting mixed spacers, which will be sold in bags of fifty. Today I'm making focals which always make me smile and tomorrow morning I'll once more be out there early to open that kiln door like the excited kid I really am. So now go enjoy another wonderful summer's day and I hope you take a little time to watch nature at play just as I will.
