Today I’m surfing around my blog set up . . I have replied to two friends on their own blog but I’m not sure I’ve clicked on the right things to make them visible .<br />
Dear Pattypan and Patricia Orrell there is a reply for you floating around somewherecottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191042308518272038.post-37308141237429940532020-08-04T02:43:00.000-07:002020-08-04T02:43:35.436-07:00Fingers crosse Today I must surf around my blog to familiarise myself with the set up . I’m so pleased to have my blog active again .<br />
At present I’m not sure if my reply comments are being passed on . It’s another bridge to cross A reply to my post will be another star on my chart .<br />
In the past I was fascinated by people who lived off grid ,amazed at their fortitude . I loved seeing the quilts and wall hangings . When I blogged in the past crochet didn’t seem as popular as it is now I enjoy making colourful blankets. To just add colour without any set pattern is quite liberating .<br />
I do hope I’m in the link again xxcottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191042308518272038.post-60070920933409468432020-08-03T00:15:00.000-07:002020-08-03T00:15:29.191-07:00Good morning<br />
<br />
To wake up to a sunny morning as it is here in Leicestershire u k . Is a real pleasure .Eager to get into the garden to check for dead heads .walking among my plants starts the day with the feel good factor .<br />
Sunday starts the week , and it started well.. <br />
<br />
Last week I bought plants from a front gate , you know , plants in the driveway of a house . The people were so interesting . We soon talked of things other than plants .The man of the house rescued my runner beans. They had blown down three times in the fierce wind we were having . I then mentioned how I used to blog but wasn’t able to after changing to the iPad . He knew a member of his family who could solve my problem . Now all I need is other bloggers to share with me xxcottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191042308518272038.post-60545331504833840822020-08-03T00:14:00.001-07:002020-08-03T00:14:24.343-07:00cottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191042308518272038.post-78152568507845836452020-08-02T12:50:00.000-07:002020-08-02T13:01:47.163-07:00<h2>

I always look around the garden as soon as I’m up and about. Check plants to see if anything needs attention. If all is well then I sit to have tea and think about the day .<br />
I knew I was going shopping with a neighbour so no hanging around first thing .8.45 we were on our way. 10 .30 back home , mission accomplished. A few minor chores around the home , a few rows of knitting while having coffee , a chat with another neighbour and then lunch. Lunch was a one person finger buffet if you know what I mean .<br />
I thought I might have an afternoon nap . That idea was squashed . A friend rang, I’m going to the garden centre for bird seed , would you like to come . So off we go , they didn’t have any bird seed but I did fall for the egg cup , photo below .. I fall I love with most things orange . I was treated to it so it makes it even more special.<br />
To round the afternoon off we had tea at a vintage tea room . Lovely ,perfect daycottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191042308518272038.post-63644911579508545202018-07-03T16:32:00.000-07:002018-07-03T16:32:24.227-07:00Late but ! ...The hour is late but I must let people know I have not give up .I have had on unusually busy weekend . I’m not complaining , it was good.Out for a meal twice, visited an open garden.<br />
I’m a gardener myself but picked up no tips from the garden we visited. It was just wild , nothing at allcottonreelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05079291444036839673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191042308518272038.post-79557997474173831472018-07-01T14:39:00.000-07:002018-07-01T14:42:49.690-07:00It’s like swotting for an examLittle by little and by poking my nose in other blogs I might slowly be getting the hang of blogging again but it isn’t going to happen over night. Things have changed, formats are different .Dare I say it , things seemed easier way back then.<br />
I have stated my problem in a ptevios post . I went from a laptop to an iPad . I changed my address etc,. Then it all started getting complicated. I gave up and went to f/ book . F / book is good for keeping in touch with family, it’s convenient but a blog has more depth, it seems to me like you are getting in touch with a personal friend.<br />
I have left comments but I’m not sure if I have gone about it the right way, only time will tell.<br />
Thank you Pattypan and Marty Mason,.<br />

<li>I’m having to learn how to blog again . I used my blog every day when I had a lap top, then I went on to my iPad .My troubles began . New address. That was o k but every thing concerned seemed to like my old address. After several attempts to get my head round logging again I think I have it sorted.</li>
<li>I do hope eventually to resume friendship with the many lovely bloggers that were my companions.</li>
<li>On blogger I visited their homes, gardens and even peeped into their personal life occasionally but best off all we shared our love of crafts . We ooo,d and aaahd over each others accomplishments </li>
<li>Please if anyone would like to help me build up a circle of friends again I will do my best to answer and follow you xx<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I haven’t been able to blog since 2014. That’s when I changed from a laptop to the iPad . My blog was still there but I could not use it .on the laptop if I remember rightly I went straight in . It’s a different procedure now . It takes this old pussy cat a bit longer to learn a new trick . I would never have sorted it myself . I got the I T man to come and sort it for me.<br />
I’m hoping I will find old friends and gather new ones . I have to work out the next step of putting photos on so that’s another ball game to play . Please leave me a comment to give me encouragement .Ibelong to several of the new knitting groups that have been formed lately. They are signed by my own name ,Kathleen Solomi .The first comment that comes in will be a milestone crossed Bless you all. Xx<br />

I have more knitting on the go for the children. I have been told about knitting for someone who has a stall inside a local hospital . She knits and sells her garments on the stall. the money goes to the childrens ward . It helps buy equipment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will be lovely to knit small garments like bootees, matinee coats and hats instead of 3 of every thing .</div>

This morning I seem to be wasting precious time fiddling about with Picasa but I wanted to show you what I see each morning when I go to make my tea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This all is facing my kitchen window . The rose on th right of the picture is calle New Daw. Very pretty and repeat flowering . It cost £1.99, bare root and is growing in a scrap o fsoil between the slabbing and the garage wall as is the rose on the left of the picture, I cannot remember the name of that one. The label will be in the garage . It is also a repeat flowering. They are almost black spot free without spraying</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my back garden I have a climbing rose called Masquerade. I want to replace it this year because it has struggled ,ivy forsythia and wiegelia from next door have chocked the progress .<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ROY75E3Ic5bmviGhN5CMPfvokrZNw3AgZxtUAEuUa-2kaAb8gLgcskry4K7Zfwq80mEoZak7n0lF10J5Kj_Lne6lnOh6kXBPkPaZ2Mq04V71J9d3xHwtKLuCLRpQVNtlhhuOqatJBoLx/s1600/CIMG2504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ROY75E3Ic5bmviGhN5CMPfvokrZNw3AgZxtUAEuUa-2kaAb8gLgcskry4K7Zfwq80mEoZak7n0lF10J5Kj_Lne6lnOh6kXBPkPaZ2Mq04V71J9d3xHwtKLuCLRpQVNtlhhuOqatJBoLx/s1600/CIMG2504.JPG" height="212" width="320" /></a>Iwanted</div>

This is a f favourite spot to sit when I am working in the garden and need respite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a border at the right side of the picture that is being revamped . I have started planting this border but have decided I want a white border so many of the recently bought plants will be lifted and placed elsewhere . </div>

Since I'm trying to come to terms with my eye problems I cannot see the laptop screen clearly so when you see bad grammer and mis,spelling please try to ignore it.<br />

This morning I have tried to order knitting yarn from the internet . I went through all the required motions then I must have pressed the wrong key and lost it .

On Wednesday I went to the garden centre with bluebell . I didn't close the blinds to keep the sun out of the room . While I was out the sun shone on the magnifier and burned through a loose cover and the arm of the chair .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I left the handle of the grill pan over a lit gas ring .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
