Life at pink's barn

My casket has been two years in the making and there are still tweaks to make and more I would like to do.

When I think of all the ways you can finish a piece of work, a hemstitch border has to be amongst my favourites

Many people have told me that all my experiences would make a book and it took me a long time to take the thought seriously.

I am giving clues to my very special project which has been my ‘retirement’ adventure!

I am so sorry to tell you that we lost our wonderful cockerpoo Monty last month

Some months after Alba was settled on her woody perch in our green oak barn, I was horrified to discover that something had been getting at her!

We will be seven, plus two children and I am in the planning stage now.

One of the big events in Fairford was the Annual Steam Fair which was held at the top of the Market Place

Aged around six, she recalls staring at the sampler when she got bored!

When the piano arrived at our little cottage and was brought through the door on its side, I nearly passed out.

Silk panels would be bought by publishing manufacturers and mounted into embossed cards and sold to soldiers.

In a mad moment Bill had agreed to us being dog owners for the first time!

I suppose this all started with Domestic Science at school…

At first, I thought that a bird had found its way into the house, but it was not a bird.
