Knitting at 603 miles per hour!

So, BA informs me I can take knitting needles as hand luggage, so here I am, somewhere over Europe on our way to Athens, starting the latest dishcloth (a girl cannot have too many, after all). I bought some short size 8 (4mm) needles in St Margaret's hospice charity shop:50p a pair, bargain, never buy new needles again, charity shops always come up trumps, but you do need to ask for them....they are behind the counter...considered as dangerous!

View from the balcony on arrival at Mum's mid afternoon. Been awake since 02:30, but don't feel too tired considering.

Frozen pomegranate seeds from the garden, can't compete with that! Later we had homegrown figs which had been sundried.

Then finally to bed to read this:

 "Spanning decades and moving from the stark beauty of the Welsh landscape to the Himalayas and Kashmir, this is a story of bravery, courage and love.Within one exotic land lie the secrets of a lifetime…Newlywed Nerys Watkins leaves rural Wales for the first time in her life, to accompany her husband on a missionary posting to India. Travelling from lonely Ladakh, high up in the Himalayas, Nerys discovers a new world in the lakeside city of Srinagar. Here, in the exquisite heart of Kashmir, the British live on carved wooden houseboats and dance, flirt and gossip as if there is no war.But the battles draw ever closer, and life in Srinagar becomes less frivolous when the men are sent away to fight. Nerys is caught up in a dangerous friendship, and by the time she is reunited with her husband, the innocent Welsh bride has become a different woman.Years later, when Mair Ellis clears out her father’s house, she finds an exquisite antique shawl, woven from the finest yarns and embroidered in the shades of lake water and mountain skies. Wrapped within its folds is a lock of child’s hair. Tracing her grandparents’ roots back to Kashmir, Mair embarks on a quest that will change her life forever."

So I am caught up between Greece in my reality and India in my imagination!

Will meet the dogs tomorrow and visit the Saturday market!
