Can you hear it?
Listen hard, that's right, .....silence. Isn't it lovely? I do miss them and have been quite tearful as I wave them off, especially as this is the start of Tilly's full time education and very much the end of an era for me. No more babies in the house, my children are both very much little people now, full of opinions and questions, information and emotions. Still, the silence is good.
Everywhere the signs of autumn are drawing in, the mornings a little crisper the nights arrive a little sooner, the apples are ready and the leaves are beginning to colour. I am spending the week cleaning the house, how does it get so dirty over summer? Blitzing children's bedrooms while they cannot protest and catching up on dusty paperwork. Next week I will begin to settle into my own new routine, with Tilly at full time school I hope to have time to ease back into my pottery. It has been so long and it will take time to find my way again but it is good to be returning to clay.
Of course knitting and sewing will not be forgotten. I finally finished this sweater for Dylan, The Weasley Sweater from Charmed Knits. A well written pattern which is sized right up to adult. I made the Medium size but added a little length. I added ribbing to the bottom and the neck which seems to have worked well and I changed the H for a D at the request of the boy. I did use the prescribed Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed which was nice but could easily be substituted for any number of yarns. I strongly suspect I will make this sweater again, perhaps without the initial, but as a basic sweater pattern it is great. Easy to adjust and the fit seems reliable.

The weather is turning here too even though the days are still quite hot (ugh!). Your scenery is sooooo lovely! I love your pictures!
Isn't it nice to just rip everything apart when the house is empty? Enjoy your quiet time.
I would wear a Weasley sweater, I adore them. I think I would leave off the letter for my adut self - but maybe not, if only to embarass the offspring ;)
Is that the school your children go to??
I definitely want to live where you live.
Put on the kettle, I will be right over.
I always feel sad having them go to school, but I am so anxious to develop a back in school routine. I can't wait for things to settle down, I hate the transition times.
I did manage to gt some lovely merino/silk in a dept store in Zurich, so I have high hopes on the yarn front ;0)

all best with easing back in to the pottery. i find it's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time going back to a passion.
