Is there anybody there?

I wonder if I am still on anybody's radar? It's been so long since I last posted, two months, and yet I've had plenty I could have written about, I just haven't been able to get myself motivated. Perhaps this will get me going again.

At the weekend we went down to the south-east to visit our sons. Number Two Son and his partner bought their first house in August and all six of us met up there for supper on Friday evening; and then we saw Number One Son and partner briefly on Saturday morning before returning to Brighton for the rest of the day. We did a bit of shopping in the morning, then spent the rest of the day with Alexander and John. I bought myself a new sewing machine. I know, I know, it's only a short while since I had my new Bernina, which is wonderful, but it's such a monster that it's impossible to take to classes and workshops. So I bought a small, lightweight Janome.

 It's a nice little machine, a Janome 601, that  does everything that I might need when I'm at a class. And it came with a quilting kit, an extension table, quarter inch foot, walking foot, appliqué foot and free motion foot, so what more could I want?
