I am older and 3 stone lighter, and Mr Knot Garden is now retired.
We have moved house 3 times in the past few years, only to end up living around the corner from our old house with the big garden. I have got a new garden now, not as big but full of potential, and I'm looking forward to getting on with that in the Spring.
So why did I stop posting? I just suddenly felt that I had been rambling on for long enough on my blog, and the longer I left it the less I felt inclined to post. I lost the motivation, and for several years I never even looked at my blog. Then for a long time I was unable to sign in because of password issues, and I just left things as they were. I've sorted that out now, but I can't access the old email account that was associated with the blog. To any of my readers who left comments, thank you for all the nice things you said.
So a break from blogging somehow turned into 13 years!
I have still been doing a lot of knitting, things like knitted animals and blankets, and some bits of sewing as well. I have in the past year taken up cross stitch again, after a break of about 20 years, and I would also like to get back into patchwork and quilting.
We now have 2 little grandsons who we help to look after regularly, so life is a lot busier now than it used to be!
I'm not sure whether I will be blogging regularly again, but I might post occasionally in the future. Blogger seems to be more tricky to navigate now than it used to be. I have tried to enable comments but I can't get it to work.
If you have read this far, I wish you all the very best for Christmas and the new year!
