Oh, it's such a perfect day...

I'm glad I spent it with you.


Just a perfect day, you made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else, someone good.
( Lou Reed 1942 - 2013 )

Eco Ethel was born a year ago... I have a secret to reveal.
My name is not really Ethel but once I tie my pinny and wiggle my nose
(like Samantha in 'Bewitched') I become her. 

I worked out that a couple of hours a day blogging is
 one sixth of my life so I am one sixth Ethel.

I hope you will forgive the deception as she's much more fun than me.

Now, I must get back on my horse...


and bite the bit.


I must whip up a storm before I'm snowed under...


...as we have another market soon and then a 3 day spectacular,
what was I thinking???


I have tins to clean, boats to row...


wood to glue...


and caravans to renovate.


The girls are happy now...


 they're plotting a wild weekend away.

 I need to...


and


because...


or snow...


but what ever the weather...


...blog buddies.

Thank you for a whole year of support, encouragement and silliness.

Happy first birthday, Ethel...but remember your body is 59 now.

Crafty ways make birthdays.

  15. I missed your birthday Ethel. I'd say I hope you're still partying but three weeks of living it is maybe too much, even for such a jolly soul as you. May your future bloggy birthdays be abundant m'dear :)
