He Did It!!! by Janice McFarlane

Last Sunday my grandson Alfie had his second official boxing match at a club in Leamington Spa. His very first fight several weeks ago he lost by one point, so he has been training exceptionally hard for his second one. He has been getting up very early before school and going for a run, he has been eating healthy to maintain his weight of 42kg. He was third on the boxing programme so thankfully didnt have to wait too long. At this stage rounds are only about 1.30min and he went 3 rounds, the final bell went and the results were in and it was unanimous Alfie had won his first ever fight. We are all so proud of him because he put the work in, his coaches were very pleased with him. What is nice the camaraderie between Alfie and his opponent afterwards, a great sign of sportsmanship.

Take Note by Sue Way

One of the sewing Facebook groups I belong to hosts a monthly challenge, using a different designers bag pattern. This months one, called the Take Note pouch, is proving to be very popular. Not only is it a free pattern, but it is also a quick, easy, and fun sew. I have already made two, and some members have made even more! I made one for me, using a William Morris design fabric, called The Strawberry Thief. The other one is a pencil case for our youngest granddaughter, and I couldnt resist using this fun hamster run fabric. I also added a pretty Daisy zipper pull, as that is her name.

Can you see them? by Vicki Avcin

Our resident plovers (masked lapwing) have finally had their babies. Weve been waiting since September to see how many there would be this year but these little bubs have only hatched in the last week. Doesnt appear they hatched all at once as one is noticeably bigger than the next one with the last one so teeny tiny. They lay their eggs in a divot in short grass so that they can easily see predators and we really thought maybe something happened as there is a couple of cats that roam, so to finally see them in the back yard we were so happy. The parents are very protective and will cause quite a ruckus if people approach but the pair round here dont attack us and really dont bother about us. There is one of the parents that will actually follow me round when Im out on the mower to get grubs and bugs in the cut grass. They are not however so tolerant of strangers and will swoop although contact is rarely made. They do have spurs on their wings which arent poisonous but a direct hit is very rare. This week my items are both pretty Christmas designs.

Dolly by Tina Fitch

My beautiful Dolly. Caught her nicely with her tongue hanging out! Not very often does she sit long enough to get photos.. she will be 10 this year and although shes slowing down a bit she still looks like a puppy . This photo was taken just a week after her groom so she still looks clean and tidy. HahaThat doesnt last long.
