Huge apologies for absence! I’ve been battling a stinking cold (*see above* red watery eyes ugh) and going to bed early feeling sorry for myself – which is a fantastic excuse for catching up on my TBR pile ???

Even Mr Monkey in the background looks a bit droopy…

Thought you might like to see this – it always puts a smile on my face – and was painstakingly stitched for me by the multi-talented and quite fabulous, exceedingly good friend, Carole Mortimer – And, btw, never was a truer word spoken – or in this instance, stitched!

Love to everyone, and thank you for your patience ???

love
