Strange but true
Now I really hope that what I am about to say does immediately lead to readers running from my blog with all the haste they can muster.
But it struck me this morning, a little blearily admittedly as it was 6.45am, that I rather like ironing.
I'm not sure how it happened. Very gradually I think. As I have mentioned before I rather like ironing freshly washed brand new fabric lengths but this is a little different.
This is napkins and tea towels and crisp, double cuffed shirts. Bed linen and t-shirts. All carefully pressed and folded.
I like it. I like how they look, I like the smell, I like the steam. I find myself enjoying the process, it feels....quite relaxing! Is this what middle age feels like?
I will be attending my first Christmas Event tomorrow (and am feeling full of nerves) - Walpole Barn If you are in the vicinity I do hope you will say hello.

Very best luck at your craft fair. Very tempted to steal the car and come but its an hour and a half away.
Hope the Christmas event goes well!
I have a friend who loves the calm that comes from hanging the washing on the line during those blissful days of summer.
Good luck at Walpole Barn :D

ironing is impossible in this house, my cats adore the ironing board, especially once you start using it and it gets warm....
But before breakfast ?

However, there also times when there is simply too much to do and it piles up relentlessly.
