Long time, no blog

Saturday 6 August 2022

Well my dears.
What weather. Home has had little to no rain for months and everything is tinder dry and much is dead or dying. Its rather grim to be honest. Our spring is all but gone too so water has been first priority for Mr F.

I never thought I would long so much to hear the sound of proper raindrops.

Heaven knows what the cows are picking at because the grass is now crunchy underfoot, its like walking on cornflakes.

In the workshop its cool and shady with the blinds closed which is a blessing. I am super busy booting for England! The plan is to clear all shoe orders first and then concentrate on the taller boots one pair at a time. Many are intricate and need individual attention. It's going to be fun sharing those with you.

For today though, its a quiet day for me.


Take care, Ren x

Can you believe its nearly Christmas?

No neither can I, but it will be very soon. Im not sure where the last year has gone, but its gone. Possibly just as well with all that's been going on. Its been a strange one to say the least.
I think my highlight was recreating our wedding from 30 years ago. Same chap, same dress, same church, same gate. This time our three beautiful children were with us.


It was during lockdown so strictly speaking we shouldn't have been there. But, we saw no one, we were all living together anyway, and the 12th May exactly 30 years on was only going to come but once.



Our children made the day so special and my Littlest (there in the middle) cooked us the most delicious three course meal complete with a spectacular fresh cream and berry cake. I wore my wedding dress all day and felt like a Queen.
The May was in full blossom, the sun shone all day long and I felt so full of love that I am quite sure my feet only just touched the ground. Magical memories in the midst of mayhem x
