warm hands


As I told you both recently I have been walking
and the early mornings have been freezing!


So being the clever chick I am I made myself some handwarmers.


These are just 10cm squares of scraps stitched together .
Leave an opening , turn them out and fill with rice .


Pop two in the microwave for a minute before you go out.
They stay warm for about 20 minutes by which time
I 'm nicely warmed up from walking anyway .
I made a few because I might need to throw one at a cow
or leave them in the car so I have some spare.
You can also put these in the freezer for little ice packs too .

Do you walk or excercise?
Do you throw things at cows ?
Have you had a great week ?

well hello Jack Frost !


This is what is  keeping me sane at the moment .


I drop my kids to their bus at about 6.45 each morning
and then I go walking .


I'm not a runner .

I hobble for 3kms on my shoddy knee .
Most mornings lately it has been freezing .


It clears my head .
It gives me thinking time.
It helps me feel stronger.

It is a beautiful way to start the day .


Very , very cold ....


but very , very beautiful .
