Following on from Part 1 of our weekend in the country… on returning from Bovey Tracey, it was of course time for a few rounds of the hat I was working on, Miko to have another go at Doris Chan, us all to start the jigsaw and have a go at whichever projects we were on. Properly equipped to light the woodburner, we settled in for an afternoon in front of the fire and maybe a light cream tea with the scones we’d ordered.
Stickwick Farm allows you to preorder baked goods, fresh eggs, bacon from their farm etc. We’d gone a little bit overboard with 2 cakes AND scones + the complimentary muffins that greeted us but we did make a valiant effort to demolish the lot. A lemon drizzle cake and a carrot cake were waiting for us but tho there was clotted cream in the fridge, and homemade strawberry jam, the carrot cake had NO FROSTING! Can you believe it? What’s the point of carrot cake with no icing?
Anyway, we soon put paid to that and made a rather large dent in the cream/jam too
By this time we’d managed to get Azka hooked and I managed to get this
lovely snap of her sitting in the sunlight, doing “just 1 more row”
Jane had started her socks, Azka was busy trying crochet out, Miko was finally winning with Doris Chan and Emma was going great guns with her jumper – if only the kitty faces hadn’t distracted us so…
Saturday nights feast was just that – we decided it was one of our favourite meals, just bits – cheeses, bread, crackers, soup (from the casserole juices NOM), meats, salmon, olives and salad…delicious. You want a picture? Oh ok then…
Retiring to the living room, to listen to music we had to remind ourselves to keep taking breaks and managed to drag ourselves to bed a little earlier than the previous night. I went up at about 12.45 leaving Azka to “just finish this bit” – crochet’s like that. It gets you from your first square 
Sunday dawned bright and sunny again. Tho we’d planned on going for a walk early on, with a fry up to break our fasts, we were all feeling far too lazy to rush around and as I was off at lunchtime, it seemed a shame to hurry. I left them with the jigsaw finished, the ribbing almost done, Doris Chan’s crazy ways being mastered and the dpns flying…I don’t know if they made it out for a walk…

Aw, don’t we all look chuffed with ourselves
Such a great weekend, I’d love to be back there, knitting away by the fire and taking occasional breaks to try to find a place for some kitty fur…
