After a day out shopping with a friend, my brother returned home with a brand new pair of much needed jeans, two tops and (unusually) a huge bag of cooking apples. It turned out that on his walk back home from the train station he passed a house with a bright red bucket stood outside filled to the top, a cardboard note perched on the apples reading, 'Lovely cooking apples, please take some'. Taking one of the little plastic bags also placed in the bucket, my brother thoughtfully filled it to take home with him. The homegrown lovlies made a delicious apple crumble after our yummy Sunday dinner this afternoon! We returned earlier and the bucket still remained near full, so we each took another bag to make preserves and chutneys to enjoy over the upcoming winter. So I guess I want to say a very big thank you to the nice people down the road for leaving their apples out for others to enjoy, I think I'll send them a card and a jar of preserve as a note of appreciation :)
Other than that, I've spent my weekend knitting up my first teddy for my friend's 21st birthday and I'm pleased to say it's turning out so well! I'm off to buy toy stuffing tomorrow and all things going to plan, I'll have one reverse stocking stitched pink teddy sitting on my bed with me soon... I'm about to continue with some more icord flowers tonight and listen to some more of 'Eat, Pray, Love' which I have on CD at the moment, well worth a listen if you get a chance. Finally, I ordered a copy of '100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet' last night from Amazon after a recommendation on another blog I've just started to follow and I'm excited for it to arrive!
