Happy Landings

 Thanks so much for all the good wishes on my new adventure - yes, I am really truly working in a bookshop. And I was amazed (though not surprised) about how many of us crafty blogger types have worked in bookshops, managed bookshops or view a job in a bookshop as being paid for pleasure.

Much as I would love to regale you with tales of trivia from my day,  that's more than enough work chat here. Not least because my new boss also happens to be one of my long established blog readers. Bit weird that!

The double whammy of Easter and gainful employment has meant there hasn't been too much creativity happening this week.  The best I can come up with is some chocolate macaroons (from Nigella Express).

Now I grant you, they're not Laduree, but they were very acceptable.

Fuelled by chocolate, Hubby fixed the portion of fence that had blown down in the howling winds the other week.

Unlike our other fenceposts, this one has a flat top, which makes the perfect resting place for the little blackbird sculpture I've had tucked away for ages. He makes me smile.
