Precious mother and daughter moment!

Having spent very many hours in the past few months tutoring my eldest in the accomplishments required for the eleven plus exams in Buckinghamshire; I wanted to record a few precious mements with my youngest who- although I did recently make her a cardigan just like mine and just how she requested it- was feeling a bit left out....

So here we are in matching cardigans( ???!!! no comment)

enjoying the autumnal garden delights.

And anyone who thought I had only made the one and Arianna was wearing mine: can eat their proverbial hat!

To her credit Annie has put up with months of- ''go away for now please, we're very busy'' and ;'' can you be quiet please exams in progress'' and ''go play somewhere else for a bit, please we have to do this NOW!''

As for me I will now finally concentrate on finishing the City and Guilds Diploma work and crochet a lot more to my hearts content for at least a year....when it will all start again but for Annie this time and we'll be starting much earlier!!!

To start with only 2 months to the deadline was exceedingly stressful and NOT to be recommended.
