WOYWW 815

 Another Wednesday, another WOYWW...  head to Sarah's for the link - come join in and share your desk.. 

I was prevaricating at the weekend with a journal page 


I love this stencil (one of Dina's) - a huge swirl.  


I didn't get as far as finishing it though.




I was prevaricating from researching and ordering a new washing machine so I am still without... 

being careful about wearing things that might need washing after!  

Several of you mentioned Euronics centres.

there isn't one near here any more - the current machine came from one before it closed down, but I wasn't happy with them - it was due to be delivered and fitted one new year's eve - they were running late and brought it in and upstairs to my kitchen, and left it..... luckily my brother was on hand to come to the rescue to plumb it in for  me!  

anyhow I shall get round to it this weekend (I can never summon up the energy for things like that after a long day at work) 

I did have a beautiful, if VERY cold trip to Kew on Saturday - it was very frosty, but the sun was out and in the end I didn't feel cold (but I did have lots of layers on!)


the sky was so blue, and everything was frozen..

it really was spectacular.  







thanks for looking - catch you soon.

Lovely photos as always. Sorry aboujt the washing machine, large expenses are dreadful and our boiler is playing up a bit so a new one is shortly on the horizon. Mind you the car goes in today and that is costing £1100!
Phew!

Sorry you had a bad experience with Euronics in the past, I guess there is always Currys. I hope you find something suitable at the weekend. Is there any way I could help? Love the use of the word prevaricating and twice too, love the swirly stencil too. I think the cold had me frozen in many ways last week but the frost on the plants is quite amazing. I see you are hesitant about the crop and I think someone else said it was too far to trave aswell. Maybe we ought to have a Southern one? Hugs BJ#5

The frosty photos are beautiful and the contrast is amazing as my little hedge picture showed too. I love that big ferny swirl for your journal page. It made me think of frost on a window 😀x x Jo 🌈

Love the big swirl, great patterns and colours! I don’t think you can go wrong with aol.com for white goods, we’ve got a few things from them and their prices are very good with free delivery. Hope you find something soon!

Hi Helen, beautiful photos. I love the combination of colours on the last one so might pinch that. Thanks for thinking about me too. We had a great week but I came back with a cold. There were lots of people sneezing and coughing on the plane so guess it was expected. Happy woyww, Angela x10x

I don't know if they'll plumb it in but AO offer a reliable service. Still, isn't it now really easy...water feeds have little taps to turn on and off and colour coded ends? I don't know this for sure..in fact, am thinking I may have just made it up because it's too practical! Good luck with it though, don't want to read that you had to cut Kew short to sit in a launderette for hours! I really like that Dina swirl stencil too. Doesn't mean I have any ideas for your lovely coloured page though!!

Such a fabulous view of Kew. I don’t like the new washing machines, they are only cold fill. And seem to take hours to complete a cycle. Wish you luck with your research though. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
