While my husband slept soundly, I would be up reading your posts and looking at all the beautiful pictures. Now I am pregnant with my third, and I am still smiling and sympathizing with your posts. And in the midst of these heat waves, its nice to remember the cooler weather (even though I'm sure you'd like to swap!)

I have thick raincoats in various colours, none black or dull, that help keep me warm and my double knitted or brioche knits help keep me warmer when I do go outside. If I'm outside for long, I wear fleece-lined tights or leggings under my pants and water-resistant snow boots on my feet. We get a lot of dull drizzly days here so staying snug is essential!<br />Technically it is almost summer here but we are getting Junuary with 18C temps and drizzle. Blah! Give me my blue skies, sunshine and mid-20C days!yarnivoroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253817840476574619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-55705120860191247852018-07-01T08:44:29.743+10:002018-07-01T08:44:29.743+10:00It's my 'Hello Weekend' routine to rea...It's my 'Hello Weekend' routine to read your posts. Last weekends was heaven, looking at the frost pictures. I've just now got back from the beach here in Southern California, my face is wind-burnt from riding a Harley home (How 'Very'). Like your daughters I was watching the suntanned girls with their surfboards and realised I felt jealous. Why? It's ridiculous, I was there too! They do all have fabulous bottoms though. Grrrr, 43 on Tuesday....my bottom headed south along time ago. Probably following Australian seasons.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629957158173334850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-26729334482582297682018-07-01T08:22:28.241+10:002018-07-01T08:22:28.241+10:00Hi Kate.

I've been lamenting the loss of the old blogospher as I've started writing again. I find old blogrolls and my heart dips when the links are gone. I wish they'd all come back!!

I'm loving this weather, it's cold contrast to our hot summers, up north here. I too write a blog, I just like words really. It's the first time I've ever really consistently written anything and the practise of doing so just feels right. How long for? Who knows ... until it doesn't feel right anymore probably.

It's bloomin'scary and I have about a third of the readers I had but I like this world of telling stories and sharing photographs, particularly when I got to see the other side of the world. <br />My coping mechanism for weather that is too much is yoga and a good book, though not at the same time :)<br />Don't stop now!! xCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475182740888543862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-78024655995047601312018-06-30T16:39:50.040+10:002018-06-30T16:39:50.040+10:00Your studio is really coming along, it looks so be...Your studio is really coming along, it looks so beautiful already. You must be getting super excited for it. <br />I love Catherine's comments above about growth vs consistency. It wasn't long ago that consistency was more highly valued. For me it's about looking inwards to find my own values and trying to focus on those no matter what others are doing and society says I should be focusing on -easier said than done at times.<br />My favourite way to deal with unfavourable weather is to retreat inside and stick my nose in a book and another world until it passes (although less of an option these days with very young kids).<br />Always lovely to drop by and enjoy your pics and stories from the week Kate. Thanks for sharing.<br />Cheers,<br />LauraGrow Gather Enjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069999391136930106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-3230823627217315542018-06-30T12:40:52.714+10:002018-06-30T12:40:52.714+10:00Wise words Catherine, thank you. xWise words Catherine, thank you. xKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234467488696653117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-49779290256547181722018-06-30T12:38:48.064+10:002018-06-30T12:38:48.064+10:00It all sounds beautiful Sue.

I'm struggling with the 30 plus temperature here in the south west of the uk. The sunshine is wonderful if you don't have to go out in it and watering our large allotment daily is a chore as it's still really hot past 6pm. Mustn't grumble as we rarely get summers like this.

I love seeing the frosty pictures you post and hearing about the freezing temperatures you are having whilst I am sweltering in 90 degree heat (or even sweltering in 76 degrees) for you see I am a winter child. We just got through one of our worst winters with just short 1 inch of breaking a record of 200 inches of snow. And while I do not want THAT much snow any time soon the delicious cold temperatures that went with it are just my cup of tea. Hee Hee. And the lovely thing about that is when I need a break from all that snow and cold I know that I can get my fix of sunshine and flowers while reading your blog with all its loveliness. Truly it is exactly what the doctor ordered all year long. So please, just because others may feel continuing something for so long is standing still and they have moved on, does not mean that blogging for years means anyone is stuck as long as you feel it serves a purpose in your life and that we keep coming back week after week to serve a purpose for us. For me, reading your blog is like getting lost in a good book and imagining I am part of that story and hating when your come to the last page. Your story hasn't reached the last page yet and I will continue to enjoy it. How can reading about sunshine and flowers and veggies and and and ever get old?
