BASE - THE FINAL FRONTIER

After months of patiently waiting, the day of concrete reckoning has arrived at last.  It’s base – the final frontier, the place where our new shed will eventually be installed.

 

Preparing the shed base

Unlike Angel in her fancy French chateau, I don’t have the luxury of having a dedicated craft room neatly tucked away in the loft and yet I do have mountains of wool, felt, beads and craft display equipment that all desperately needs a home. 

As the other half has bagsied the garage for his motor racing, beer store man cave then I’ve got my sights firmly set on making this new edifice part of my knitting emporium.  Yes, I’ve got plans!

 

All set for shed delivery

Shed will be 8ft x 6ft - big enough for my craft stuff

Meanwhile as we wait for our new shed scheduled to arrive in February 2022, a little trip round Kent to make up for the lack of holiday this year. 

Kent appears to be famous for 3 things: 

• ·       Illegal migrant crossings
• ·       Windfarms
• ·       Having a Covid variant named after it

No shortage of wind in Kent

There are plenty of windswept beaches or white cliffs to explore and at this time of year, it’s all pretty much grockle free as let’s face it, everyone else is too preoccupied with looking for the best deals on turkeys, avoiding the lurgi or attending those all-important business meetings (minus cheese and wine) than searching for blue birds around Dover.  Nope haven’t seen any.  Vera Lynn clearly made it all up to get attention. 

Here's my Kentish top 10 holiday photos:

Canterbury canals

Friendly lot in Canterbury

Interesting architecture

Herne Bay

Margate - Got any 2ps to spare?

Very festive Ramsgate harbour

Botany Bay near Broadstairs

Dickens Museum - Broadstairs

St Margarets Bay near Dover

Dover Castle

Likely to return in the new year to spend some long weekends exploring Canterbury or Ramsgate which looked worthy of a bit more attention but in the meantime, I've got some important office meetings to attend to.
