Come on in…"},"content":{"rendered":"

\u201c…It\u2019s so good to see you.
\nI\u2019ll take your coat and hang it over the door to dry, and put your brollie in the sink. <\/p>\n

Have a seat; oh don\u2019t mind Pepsi, she just likes to say hello; yes a wet nose is a bit of a shock! I\u2019m used to her and don\u2019t mind, she\u2019ll get back on her bed in a moment.
\nWhat a change in the weather!<\/p>\n

Would you like a cup of tea today? It might warm you up! Although I do have the heating on.
\nI\u2019ll go make our drinks and put some biscuits out. No I didn\u2019t bake them, as one of my sisters in law says, I don\u2019t know how to bake but I do know how to shop\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While I am in the kitchen I can hear you talking to Pepsi, I bet her ears are alert and she will be tilting her head to one side and then the other. Dogs are such good company.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow\u2019s the family?\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

We chat for a while about our families yours are well as are mine, which we are both thankful for. I tell you about my friend who\u2019s mother has only a few weeks left to live. I wish I could do something but all you can do is keep in touch. I send her texts to let her know that I am thinking of her.<\/p>\n

You have brought me some of your latest makes and I am inspired as always. I thank you for the postcard that arrived last week; I love having a piece of your art on my wall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have signed up for a stitched postcard challenge with the theme Celebration.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

I show you what I am going to try to do we talk about the different ways I could approach it and we begin to brainstorm some ideas for you, which makes us laugh.
\nI saw some Christmas things in a supermarket at the weekend and it has made me think about something I have on my mind. <\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think anyone would be interested in a Christmas decoration swap? Like Sian\u2019s Great Big Swap of Very Small Things? I was thinking, something small to hang on the tree.
\nI\u2019ll ask on my blog even though that feels scary, what if no one is interested? Oh I know you will be and we will do it anyway\u2026<\/p>\n

Oh! Is that the time already?
\nIt has stopped raining thank goodness.
\nNext month I thought it would be nice to go over to the garden centre about 5 miles from here, they will have finished their Christmas display stands and they are always worth a look, we can have coffee in their restaurant Oh! and we can look in the craft department.
\nI know; there was a time when garden centres sold plants!<\/p>\n

Thank you for coming, stay safe.
\nOh and 27th of October is a Sunday, is that OK for you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With thanks to Abi<\/a> for this lovely idea of sharing a virtual cup of tea and a catch up once a month.<\/p>\n
