I’ve been wanting to share a support for a few days now to celebrate how fabulous and brilliant you all are. Squares is great because of you, and I’m so appreciative of your support. So a huge thank you. And here’s my post in celebrating support – a wing strut brace high above the mountains on New Zealand’s South Island.
I almost cannot believe that today is the penultimate day of 2021’s January Squares. It has been a challenging month at times, but the squares, I hope, has offered optimism, joy and a sense of community. I am going to miss it. However we will be back in April and we still have more than 24 hours left of this month, so still plenty of time to share a square or two interpreting this month’s theme of UP.

Wonderful images! New Zealand looks such a beautiful place. When did you go?

Oh, my! Fancy company on your return trip? 🙂 🙂 I bet we could drag Jude along. Perhaps I should start saving. I think there’s plenty of time!

Feels like only yesterday, or maybe 5years ago I was there! And we should definitely bring Jude with us – I have suggested she joins us at 4pm. Maybe you could persuade her to do that and then next stop NZ!

A Portuguese hat? Chapeu, very similar to the French, but a dut is just a pull-on woolly hat to keep your bonce warm 😅. Gardening today? 💕

Ah! A beanie! Never heard of a dut. No gardening, I am not a masochist – can barely see the garden today! There are some bulbs in flower though – 8 snowdrops now!
