tiny jumper

By Alice | Published: December 11, 2011


I sent my sister this book Mini Christmas Knits and almost by return post she sent back this tiny jumper. Cute huh!


She has knitted me lots of decorations over the years, for example this is one from a few years back is a particular favourite :)

Rotunda

By Alice | Published: December 8, 2011


Found the sign and went down the dark drive.


Around the corner of this house.


To this! The Grove House Rotunda.


It had been made into a gig venue for a few nights. Very cosy and with mulled wine by Oxfork.


Three local bands….


The Family Machine


Cat Matador


The Young Knives


Also much discussed was the disco ball in the toilet :)

getting into the swing of things

The tree is up! We also have our Advent wreath out (you light a candle every Sunday in Advent). The season of lebkuchen, mulled wine, and so on is in full swing :)

a commute

By Alice | Published: November 30, 2011


It was day in the life again the other day (where some of us document our day) but I only managed to take some pictures during my commute. In the above I am waiting in the early hours with Gloria (my bicycle) at the station.


On the train drinking a cuppa, listening to a podcast, and finishing my makeup (this is needed if I’ve had to dash out of the house).


Cycling. Deer on the horizon.


Swans on the lake.


Then a day of work and the whole thing in reverse :)

kneeler cushion mother lode

By Alice | Published: November 28, 2011


On the principle of never passing a place of historical interest without poking our noses into it we took a look inside this church in Burford as we were passing and found they had a HUGE amount of kneeler cushions. I’ve mentioned before that one of the interesting things to look out for in countryside churches is the kneeler cushions, they can be really cool (and sometimes a bit odd) :) Well done cross stitchy people.
