I made myself a jumper.

The diagonal lines are deliberate; it wasn’t me stuffing up 🙂 I got the pattern on Etsy and it’s quite an easy one to follow and a relatively quick project.
The daffodils are starting to flower here. Apparently Aberdeen has 11 million daffodils and I can believe it. They’re everywhere. It’s lovely at this time of year.

We’re still not allowed to leave our local authority area which I think is a bit unfair. If we lived in Aberdeenshire, which is the orange area on the map below, we’d be able to go from Pennan to Braemar, a distance of 83miles. But we live in Aberdeen City which is the tiny uncoloured bit by the sea.

The virus spreads through contact with other people. A family group on their own going for a walk in the woods or the hills needn’t see anyone. We would even take an electric car and avoid the need to visit a petrol station. It’ll probably be at least another month before they let us out to play.
