I smell a rat...

Seems I just left a whole lot of posts in draft instead of coming back here!

There was a little knit a long for a very cute rat - not much yarn or knitting required but look at all those ends.

When she was done Ratty went out to investigate the herb garden bed at the local community garden.

What is this lovely looking green stuff?

Yum, Spinach...

but I smell something delicious in the kitchen

Look fresh cake!

All these adventures before going home to entertain Maggie the cat.

Quite unusually for this time of year the gardens in our neighbourhood are still green.

Hope there is some green in your world, (probably without the rat)

Beautiful Weekend

Sharing a lovely sunny weekend with family and friends - Perfect!

A little knitting for World Wide Knit in Public day. (no surprises there)

Strawberry ripple mits

A lovely tour of the Botanical Gardens - there is much to see no matter the season. 

Plenty of people were out enjoying the winter sunshine.

The leaves that forgot to fall

There are some amazing structures and monuments around the gardens.

This monument to Queen Victoria actually has four separate poses celebrating different events in her life.

excuse the finger!

There was cake, well this long weekend is in celebration of the Queen's birthday.

Delicious.

This model of an old treadle sewing machine is animated like the real thing and plays music when you open the drawer.

Hope the sun is shining in your part of the world.
