The view from our sitting room early this morning encapsulated our
weather forecast of sunshine and showers.
Martin worked in whatever came along, from shade
to sunshine requiring his coat to be placed on or off the Nottingham Castle Bench at times.
I spent much time on administration, some boring, others, like arranging for the removal of the dead Weeping Birch tree and the completing of the painting of the outside of the house, not so for different reasons. Later this afternoon I posted documents concerning a heating oil contract from
Everton Post Office, photographed, with its Easter decorated post box, by Jackie.
Next, after a shop at Tesco Express, where Jackie photographed
another decorated post bog celebrating the anniversary of Bagpuss, we visited “In The Frame” in Highcliff where I deposited a 19”’ x 13″ print of
for framing.
This evening we all dined on Ferndene Farm Shop sausages, creamy mashed potato, carrots, runner beans, peas, sweetcorn, cabbage, and meaty gravy with which Jackie drank Peroni and I drank Reserva Privada Chilean Malbec 2022.
What a beautiful generational photo!
Did Jackie knit that post box topper?
No. Knitting is one thing Jackie doesn’t do. 🙂 There are a number of yarn decorators. Thanks very much, Dale
Ah well… One never knows!
I’m afraid I’ve forgotten, Does anyone know who crochets the box covers?
I don’t know. There seem to be quite a lot of them
Beautiful picture to frame! Looking enviously at your garden. A nor’easter blew in and left a foot of snow.
More snow than I have seen for years. Thanks very much, Laurie
A rather action-packed day!
Thanks very much, Ed
I love the post box decorations! All in all, it looks like you had a very productive day.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
A busy day Derrick!
Thanks very much, Andrew
You and Martin had busy days. Such a beautiful view from your sitting room. Thank you for letting us see that family photo again!
Thank you so much, Merril
I love the post box decorations, they are so cute! ❤️????????????
Thank you very much, John
????????????????????
Beautiful views Derrick and the garden and family all looking great xxx <3
Thank you so much, Sue XX
You are most welcome Derrick… take care xx
Beautiful.
I had to look up Bagpuss for this to make sense. The crocheted postal box creations are very impressive. Dinner looks good enough to eat and Martin continues to make me wish he had an American cousin.
Thank you so much, Pat
Here in Geelong today our autumn day is a cool and cloudy one … and unlike Martin, my jacket will be staying on …
Thanks very much, Ivor
Great job, Martin! Love the beautiful crochet Easter decorations 🙂
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
This made me smile so much, bagpuss was my uni nickname. And on our first car trip to France, I had huge problems with left and right instructions. So we placed 2 small soft toys left and right on the dashboard, one was bagpuss. Then when I was to turn right, K would shout Bagpuss, left was Muttley.
Such a good story of better days. Thanks very much, Gary
I wish we had such letter boxes, lovely!
Thank you very much, Sylvie
Such loveliness in the garden, on the post boxes, and soon to be framed. I was wondering if the same mystery knitter was decorating all those boxes and read in your responses that others have taken up the cause. I bet it’s fun to see what’s new on the post boxes.
It is fun, JoAnna. Thank you very much
Ah, your garden shots–and of your intrepid gardener/landscaper– showing up more again. Hooray! Lovely post, I will try to keep up better, Derrick!
Thank you so much, Cynthia
Another wonderful set of photos.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
I had no idea who or what Bagpuss was, but now I know. He is cute, and so are all the mailbox decorations.
Coincidentally, we also had Chilean Malbec with dinner today and decided that inasmuch as it was enjoyable, we would still prefer the classic Mendoza.
I would probably agree, Dolly. Thank you very much
My pleasure, Derrick.
YAY for Martin…his hard work and his beautiful smile…which I’m sure reflects his wonderful attitude! 🙂
All of the cheerful crocheted critters are bright and lovely! 🙂
I’m so glad that important, special photo got printed for framing! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn XX
More yarn bombing!
Yep.Thanks a lot, Sheree
A great selection of post box knitted art today!
Thanks very much, Doug
You’re garden is so beautiful and I love all your different pots!
Thank you very much, Diane
Lovely post Derrick.
Thank you very much, Sherry
I love the crocheted items and Bagpuss is too cute. I am glad you are having the generational photo framed – such a treasure.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
You live in a place that looks like paradise! Great pics!!!
Thanks very much, Sweet
I love crocheted postbox decorations. That is quite an Easter selection you found!
Martin is a hard worker. I know what you mean about the jackets coming on or going off when the clouds pass by. Too cold or too hot!
Thanks very much, Lavinia
Come Rain or Shine, your garden is always beautiful.
Thank you so much, Sue
A picture well worth a good frame.
Thank you very much, Tootlepedal
Those decorated post boxes are so nice! People are really talented!
That photographs needed to be framed! 🙂
Thank you very much, Riba
The decorated pist boxes are beautiful. Who makes the decorations? Are they knitted or crochet ? Thank you for sharing.
Both knitting and crochet is involved. There seems to be a number of decorators operating in different locations, Lakshmi. Your comments much appreciated
