After the emotional rollercoaster that was last week, it was decided that this weekend would be a chilled, relaxed time with the family. No jobs, no rushing to the shops, no stressing. It was just what we all needed.
I spent Saturday afternoon in the kitchen making runner bean chutney which I can’t wait to try. The problem with making chutneys is I want to eat them straight away! This was a recipe I used years back and my husband has been asking me to make again every Autumn. He is a very patient man.
The best thing about making this chutney is that I get to use my Spong bean cutter which I inherited from my husband’s late grandmother.
We lazed about a lot this weekend, played games and went for walks but I still managed to start a new crochet project. I have never worked with yarn this fine before (2ply) and it took a while to get used to but I love it. Full details when I actually finish it.
This is the last week before my eldest starts university so I am going to be busy getting him ready and enjoying his company whilst I can. He might be 18 but he’s still my baby!

I love that yarn it looks like a softer thread, and the lazy weekends are the bests! Congrats to your baby 🙂

Thank you! The yarn is Susan Crawford Fenella – I love the vintage feel colours. It is a bit scratchy if truth be told but I think it will soften up with wear.
