GOLDFINCH IN ITS WAKE
GILDS WITH GRACE
Hello all you lovely Deskers - once again we have our weekly meet up at Sarah's, linking up to see what everyone else is getting up to!
It was a red letter day for me on Saturday, I passed the £10,000 mark with my fundraising, woohoo!! I'm still taken aback by how much I've made by selling my bits and bobs and have to thank many friends for their support.
It was a lovely hall but unfortunately the footfall wasn't great. Nevertheless I made enough to take me past the post and we had a nice day catching up with the other stallholders and some old bandmates of mine!
It's been a busy few days and there hasn't been that much activity in the JanCave:
I had two metres of this pretty cotton and chopped it up into various sizes. It's a strange blue to match and none of my spotty linings went apart from this lilac and lime green, my blues just weren't right!
Life has been busy elsewhere however - we went out for a lovely walk on Father's Day, only locally but the weather was fab. We spotted this sweep of wild orchids:
They normally do grow well around here but this year they are exceptional! It wasn't just in this spot either, they're all over the place:
So pretty, it was a joy to see! We walked through the woods on our way out and returned via the beach:
Rhys took this sneaky shot of us, lol! I use hiking poles for when going over uneven ground, they help my wonky ankle. The tide was just on the turn and we had a happy few minutes watching the kite surfers whizzing over the waves.
Back at home, our bird seed feeder has seen more activity and here was a little bird who made us laugh a lot:
This juvenile goldfinch has been hanging around not entirely sure of how to do things. He's still got a lot of fluffy down under his feathers and he was investigating the fish pond quite closely....
And didn't seem at all certain what to do once he got to the perch! He really made us smile, it's the little things sometimes eh?
Hope you have a marvellous week! xxxxxx
