<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a bit of an obsession with curds at the minute. Everywhere I go there seems to be yet another flavour to try. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy a dollop of Jam as much as anyone, but there's something about the sunny looking stuff that does it for me. Slathered onto toast, or on bloomer bread, or fresh scones or sandwiched between layers of sponge cake mmmmmm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjluaZP0Ai8tMKNXCtgL9krxkbc05_NDg57Ul_cQi2g4Pq1yNB2WD2fJegJNpUCV-jlZEwFcyMKNGAGHoP4IsTTzpj0xTVq7zTzDDXSvCOAryfItlqTKg9Z32_-CFOYZKhttm55UC3o-CU/s640/blogger-image-877345921.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="479" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjluaZP0Ai8tMKNXCtgL9krxkbc05_NDg57Ul_cQi2g4Pq1yNB2WD2fJegJNpUCV-jlZEwFcyMKNGAGHoP4IsTTzpj0xTVq7zTzDDXSvCOAryfItlqTKg9Z32_-CFOYZKhttm55UC3o-CU/s640/blogger-image-877345921.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly there's good old fashioned lemon, which I always seem to have close at hand. But then sometimes I shake it up a bit and go for an orange or a lime curd. Rarer to find, but equally delectable are ginger or even raspberry curds. Yummy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But when does a curd become a cheese? Or is it called a cheese depending on where it's made? I have no idea. But what it's called does seem to be questionable. Has any one any thoughts on the matter?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think I've mentioned in a previous post my newest finding, some fantastic chocolate and orange curd that just tastes like a melted version of the spherical solid kind. What's not to like!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you think you've got it sussed, the world of toast spreadable loveliness just gets a little bit...well...different..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSH9eClf7rvsrpNcWsMwNvWktO5ps1JEtbcks6ZK0ghSbC1iou85G7Qn1jyECayyp6L0r60WqfxkHm6zF41qahHnqquP1-9WS8qxTISEtIq-kFupRcsJYlDuz95uLjbYxNt41OIZeBuAI/s640/blogger-image-1420197201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="479" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSH9eClf7rvsrpNcWsMwNvWktO5ps1JEtbcks6ZK0ghSbC1iou85G7Qn1jyECayyp6L0r60WqfxkHm6zF41qahHnqquP1-9WS8qxTISEtIq-kFupRcsJYlDuz95uLjbYxNt41OIZeBuAI/s640/blogger-image-1420197201.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Certainly different and ones that I am definitely going to try, once I've finished the other flavours I have on the go. I shall keep you posted<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> as to how they are!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I'm no expert at making lemon curd, but I have made a few pots in my time. This was partly to feed my lemon curd addiction when I lived in Borneo and couldn't get any...and of course it always made a great present to give to friends at Christmas or whenever ( They would always find a pot of lemon curd or rum butter neatly packaged from me as it was always a good excuse just to make some! :) )</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought a new preserving book the other week, with the intention of making some jam this summer as well, which should be interesting. It also has some very nice curds and fruit butter recipes in it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> However I stuck to my old recipe yesterday and made some lemon curd.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will need :</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3 eggs- zest and juice</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3 lemons (unwaxed)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4oz Butter</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">8oz sugar </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5ZGdRPOrFA17tARtqvTLTMxplV5CwFc73H6sBgwOVC3PHaJBuTMgjr3book0l4uX4geFof-hgOVMRazLF53_ypE_jTGiNMkgWRWbS_yCBvfpF1K-eRX_aOS9UWZgELYPfE-yzdbO0VM/s640/blogger-image-1970870125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="479" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5ZGdRPOrFA17tARtqvTLTMxplV5CwFc73H6sBgwOVC3PHaJBuTMgjr3book0l4uX4geFof-hgOVMRazLF53_ypE_jTGiNMkgWRWbS_yCBvfpF1K-eRX_aOS9UWZgELYPfE-yzdbO0VM/s640/blogger-image-1970870125.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You'll need either a double boiler pan, or a bowl sitting over a pan of hot water. I use the later.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Firstly warm through the sugar and cubed butter in the bowl over the pan of simmering hot water. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirAmFFdMWLOjMQTpjRcabmnFOmzAuVBrEf-SOlcvMORGHzyL2-TRbv1jikqS5hLPH-JktzbguzaUnz5vTLZu8cmAJJP34JR6F0W6qGyeZDmWSEukjPDEr36wKR26xKduDIohTpfVQaYhM/s640/blogger-image-1354521930.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="479" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirAmFFdMWLOjMQTpjRcabmnFOmzAuVBrEf-SOlcvMORGHzyL2-TRbv1jikqS5hLPH-JktzbguzaUnz5vTLZu8cmAJJP34JR6F0W6qGyeZDmWSEukjPDEr36wKR26xKduDIohTpfVQaYhM/s640/blogger-image-1354521930.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Add the zest and juice of the lemons and stir until the sugar has dissolved. I use caster sugar as it tends to dissolve quicker, but I'm sure granulated would be fine too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTNfAVczAyAHyDtZcShToCxnMTUgZHmogRcTHpq2uqIBZDsKiZJ8fcNjGLXkwiVkCqn_O-goTrHld4z1Y_xmcEBCjyx3WC7IvUmCfgWCtmaQnN6aIR6SXvEmLECNc5mamGcnM7SbJTUio/s640/blogger-image-789528792.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="479" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTNfAVczAyAHyDtZcShToCxnMTUgZHmogRcTHpq2uqIBZDsKiZJ8fcNjGLXkwiVkCqn_O-goTrHld4z1Y_xmcEBCjyx3WC7IvUmCfgWCtmaQnN6aIR6SXvEmLECNc5mamGcnM7SbJTUio/s640/blogger-image-789528792.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Slowly add the lightly beaten eggs to the mixture, all the while keep the water simmering and keep stirring. Try not to let the water touch the bottom of the bowl or the eggs come into direct contact with the heat otherwise they will curdle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgos7XYUd-AiSOHzXemos_b27W6_nDaV6x2UPBoj_PW3VCRQDpuxF8MWgLttAyMmQMruBcEKlraSq6nimNMvDEhLxvYox8LPAHxvSL6UQriyA1T2ynZWo6Wl48VEgnFC1m1vfXer0AKdWw/s640/blogger-image--1332919451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgos7XYUd-AiSOHzXemos_b27W6_nDaV6x2UPBoj_PW3VCRQDpuxF8MWgLttAyMmQMruBcEKlraSq6nimNMvDEhLxvYox8LPAHxvSL6UQriyA1T2ynZWo6Wl48VEgnFC1m1vfXer0AKdWw/s640/blogger-image--1332919451.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Keep stirring the curd mixture over the pan of simmering water until it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should take about 20 mins. When I made one yesterday it took longer than that but I just turned up the heat a little for a while to bring the water temperature up a bit. I also found that if the bowl doesn't sit well in the pan, steam tends to escape around the sides and therefore you lose heat! Note to self...get a better bowl next time :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm feeling very fortunate at the minute, having a little bit of extra time off and having nice weather to enjoy it.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Having more time to spend having leisurely breakfasts has meant that I have been on the lookout for some new foods to try.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alongside the Library you come across the Museum. This one is home to Natural History, Science and touring exhibitions. This time I noticed that there was the 'Colour of Science' exhibition on.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Love it or hate it, Vintage is in! I've always liked a bit of vintage...mostly because I can't quite bear to throw stuff away, but lately, not only have I dug out some of my own stuff, I've been buying it too!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's strange to think I have a bit of a style choice when it comes to all things old, but I am drawn to things that are more retro than vintage ...more 60s and 70s rather than antiques....and somehow the more kitsch, the better!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The days are just flying by. Whether it's because I've been around and about a lot more lately, I don't know, but I can't believe that I've had so much time off and still have no idea where the time has gone!</span></div>

Okay I admit...I may have spent an odd night or two back with my parents/ grandmother's houses...but after a year and a half of living there, I'm easing away gently. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Baby steps all the way this week. Little by little I'm making progress, well I feel I am anyway :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last week's feelings of being unsettled have drifted away as the sun has begun to shine. It's quite amazing how just a little bit of warmth and fresh air make everything seem a little more positive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've tried to be a little more constructive this week in how I spend my time and have made some tiny effort to get things ticked off my 'to do' lists. I'm feeling stronger each day and feel more able to do things and so I've made a start!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly I hit the garden centre. I am definitely not a gardener, despite years of frustration on my grandmother's part to turn me into one, so it's much easier just to buy what I need, rather than try to grow anything. However I have been pottering (No pun intended) trying to grow some seeds and store bulbs for replanting, so maybe some of that green fingered wisdom is seeping through!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was recently given a book on small container vegetable gardening that I was surprisingly excited about, you see progress...I might make a gardener yet.:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am also making small steps in slowly moving back into my own place. Having rented out my house for the last few years I'm now in the process of moving back in. I've taken time to get it ready, get some building work done and painted a bit, so it's just about ready to move back into. It's going to be strange living back on my own after 18 months living with my grandmother.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This wasn't on my to do list! But then I decided that I hated the terracotta colour of the porch thingy at the front of my house and so my next project is to repaint it. I managed to pick up some paint from the local 'free for all' (where for a couple of quid I came away with a large tin of Dulux) and I'm poised and ready to go! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_409528284"></span><span id="goog_409528285"></span>My daily walk has definitely been improving this week. I started off 3 weeks ago, very slowly taking about 20 minutes to walk half a mile. Little by little I've walked a little bit further each day and stopped when I was in pain or too tired. This week I'm now up to walking 3 miles and at a much quicker pace. I know its's not a great deal in the grand scheme of things, but for the 'post op me' I'm pleased with what I'm doing and more importantly I'm really enjoying getting out of the house and getting some fresh air.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another lovely thing happened this week is a fabulous parcel I received from <a href="http://feltabulous.blogspot.co.uk/">Ellie @ Feltabulous</a>. It was part of a stationery swap set up by <a href="http://madaboutbagsuk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/super-stationary-swap.html">Tracy</a> at <a href="http://madaboutbagsuk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/super-stationary-swap.html">http://madaboutbagsuk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/super-stationary-swap.html</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a great idea to send items of stationery to our swap partners...and who doesn't just love stationery? Any excuse to have new notebooks and papers and pretty things!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tuesday again!- Where does the time go? Last week I decided to resurrect my 10 things Tuesday and show sets of things that go together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I asked if anyone had any suggestions for some lists and <a href="http://simplyalexa.typepad.com/trimmingthesails/">Alexa</a> kindly gave me a few ideas of which I'm working on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week however, is just a few photos that seemed to jump out at me as I was trawling through my files.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the last few weeks I've been slowly sorting out photos from my files to try and piece together some semblance of order. I've made a couple of photobooks and still have loads more that I will eventually print out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was while I was going through these I found some people pictures! This is quite rare for me, as aside from lots of friends and family photos, my photographs rarely involve people. I have lots of landscapes, close ups, food, and quirky shots, but it's not often I take portraits. I always feel like I'm intruding I suppose. Where I have got some portrait shots, it's usually either surreptitiously using a zoom lens or I'll have spent ten minutes plucking up the courage to ask for a photo! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here we are 10 faces and places from my travels. Apologies if some feel familiar, I cant quite remember which I may have posted before!</span></div>

Joining in with <a href="http://miriamrogers.co.uk/">Miriam</a> to tell a story in six words.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I had one word to describe how this week has been then I would go with 'Unsettled'. Not in too bad a way, just in a rather strange and 'out of sorts' way. I'm sure we all get a bit like this sometimes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2LCGlgWs0fTKITLCgDAGpPcSuWbDi2TWgWbNC26j6PJ0LYVFeKPoRNMWDLjXRfwXUJPxkGG_QUHkvcgGtCJN2bKGRFw8kSGyoJnnnXf3OZeagKKM3zrqcmP7Jj2UuMPaxnYbPxVWcto/s1600/unset.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ2LCGlgWs0fTKITLCgDAGpPcSuWbDi2TWgWbNC26j6PJ0LYVFeKPoRNMWDLjXRfwXUJPxkGG_QUHkvcgGtCJN2bKGRFw8kSGyoJnnnXf3OZeagKKM3zrqcmP7Jj2UuMPaxnYbPxVWcto/s640/unset.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps it's like the weather, never knowing what each day will bring, whether it's going to be cold or mild, wet or dry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It feels like I'm chomping at the bit, waiting for something to happen. Waiting for spring? The good weather? To feel fitter? To get my independence back? I really don't know what it is, but it's all just a little unsettling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have made progress this week though and am feeling like I can do more and more each day. It's still all very surprising though how much surgery takes it out of you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've had some lovely days out and on Wednesday I even went to watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpyoeaR9wbs&list=RDGpyoeaR9wbs#t=18">'Collabro'</a> in concert. Yes, I was shattered and sore by the end of the evening but it was great to be out and about.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've tried to walk a little more and get some fresh air this week too. It's lovely to see all the little subtle changes to the fields and hedgerows as each day moves onto the next.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I've been taken to the garden centre a few times. Mostly just to visit the coffee shop, but I am inspired to grow some veg this year and try my hand at some container planting.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I used to blog regularly I often had a '10 Things Tuesday', a weekly collection of 10 things. Sometimes they were, just like this week, 10 random things that made me smile, but then other times I was a little more creative. I often had themes such as 'Red', 'Green' or Black and White', I had '10 Deserts', '10 Souvenirs' or '10 Places to visit in America', a whole myriad of ideas that seemed to go together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I enjoyed doing 10 things, as not only did I enjoy thinking of ideas, but it also got me to post lots of photos from my thousands sitting on my computer. So here we are again, another regular feature to get me back into blogging.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This time though, I thought I might set up a task for those of you who would like to challenge me. If you have a minute, why don't you come up with a suggestion of what my 10 things may be, and post it in the comments. I shall certainly enjoy trying to find 10 things for each category and I shall give you the credit for coming up with my titles. :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A 'Mother's Day / Auntie's Day card from Lizzie, my niece.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You might think it's a bit strange to receive a mother's day card when I'm not a mother but every year, from when she was very little, Lizzie has sent me a 'Happy Aunty' card to open the day after mother's day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have a lovely relationship with my favourite niece (Well she is the only one I have :)) and as I will never have the pleasure of having any of my own children, she's certainly special.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">A little hare picture given to me by my sister, just to make me smile. I love hares. They seem very magical creatures and quite elusive. If I do see one out in the fields, it always makes my day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of those books on my shelf that I'd never got round to reading! Luckily I did read it and I loved it. I loved the style of writing and of the tales of life in the field throughout the year. I'd certainly read it again and it's made me look at the hedges and fields around me in a whole different light. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Before Christmas I headed down to London to stay with a friend of mine for a few days. I was killing time waiting for the train and wandered into one of the shops at the station. I was totally smitten at first by this lovely packaging, but then got to smell it...and it was even better. I decided to treat myself and have been slathering on the hand cream ever since.:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On one of my few days out over the last 5 weeks, I spotted this little pot at the Rheged shop, whilst visiting the Harris Exhibition. It's very fine and when a candle burns in side it glows beautifully. When I'm fit enough to move back into my house, I shall find a perfect spot for it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Old second hand travel books. I've been watching a lot of tV recently (There's no surprise there, having been housebound for the last few weeks!) and seemed to have got hooked on 'Railway Journeys' and 'the Grand Tour of Scotland', both of which use old travel guides for their inspiration. I hunted out some of my own and am enjoying reading about some familiar and not so familiar places. Perhaps when I up and about and able to drive, I may just have to have a look and take up one of my own tours.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Two new scarves.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few years
ago, my mum and I headed off for a camping trip to the Outer Hebrides. We loved
it! The scenery was fantastic, the weather erratic and the people were lovely.
There was such a feeling of space and light and even on the rainiest of days,
of which there were a few, it really was just beautiful.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the
things I came home with, apart from about 1000 photos and a new respect for

inspiration to strike.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My
photographs don’t do the colours, nor the lines of the landscape justice.
However the photographs at the new exhibition certainly did. I was very envious
and wish I had a fraction of the photographer’s talent.</span></span></div>

As you know I havent been able to get out and about much since my surgery, so I took the most of a day out (With mum driving) and snapped away. I managed to get them all in that one afternoon. But Boy, was I ready for a lie down once I'd got back home!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't know about you, but I'm the type of person who finds it hard to sit around and do nothing. If I had a day off, I would always go out and about and make the most of the day. My absolute nightmare would be to hang around the house and do nothing. Now don't get me wrong...my ideal get away from it all holiday, would involve a cuppa, a good book and curled up in front of a roaring fire...doing absolutely nothing! But at home it's different. I just feel I'm wasting time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately I've had to rethink my status on this and have come to accept that sometimes, doing nothing is just the way it has to be. I'm now three and a half weeks post major surgery and since coming out of hospital I've not been doing a great deal. Never mind the op, it's this hanging around doing nothing that takes some getting used to. :)</span></div>
