Capability Brown at Croome

I managed to visit Croome today to see the Worcester Branch of the EG exhibition in the Temple Greenhouse and was not disappointed.  There were lots of wild flowers blooming in the grounds and the house looked resplendent now it has lost its scaffolding, although I did miss the 'Sky Cafe' and it's fantastic vistas.

A Jolly Outing

SJ and I visited the former Chairman of the Running Stitchers on Thursday this week whilst she is recuperating from a knee operation in Edgbaston for a week or two. Imagine our surprise when we found she had been working on a piece of patchwork started at a workshop with Jennie Raiment earlier in the year.  The fabric used was from her husband's old shirts upcycled and a delight they were too. The next generation will benefit from her handiwork as it is to be used by her grandaughter. What a lovely legacy to pass on.

I think the patchwork pattern is "Joseph's Coat".
