teddies

Last weekend I went to visit my oldest friend’s mum, Jane. She has a teeny cottage in bale, Norfolk, that is probably a third the size of her back garden. The intial reason for the visit started when I made Jane a blog. As a thankyou, Jane was giving me a blanket, much like the lovely one in the photo above.

To be honest, I was a bit stressed, as I seem to be doing alot of work recently, and travelling quite a bit, so it was so nice to be thrown into jane’s world of wonderful pots and knitwear.

The weekend quickly filled up with walks with Sal & Tilda, Jane’s two dogs, chats with the mussel man, a trip to Cromer - a holiday seaside town stuck in a timewarp; home of the cromer crab - investigating Jane’s home-made kiln, digesting local lamb and relaxing by the fire with earthenware cups of wine. It was a glimpse of a life I might like to have… when I’m older.

Jane and I talked alot and I left feeling I’d made a friend of my oldest friend’s mum.
