Good thing I like those muted, muddy colours:-)<br /><br />I love the word mizzle - perfectly apt for this strange old summer we are experiencing.<br /><br />Hope the sunshine has returned to Cornwall.

Such a descriptive word. Thank you for your kind words about my shawl. I'm so impressed with my ability to knit a cable at last that I'm now attempting a cabled sock. This may well be my downfall!Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665464372841227874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213430389313568934.post-33598085744378254632011-06-03T21:25:12.718+01:002011-06-03T21:25:12.718+01:00it has been sizzle here...I dont know where it cam...it has been sizzle here...I dont know where it came from...poor Pete went cycling and came back looking like a beetroot....A time to dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937288812854037401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213430389313568934.post-70231430533756339112011-06-02T13:23:36.385+01:002011-06-02T13:23:36.385+01:00Yes, mizzle is a real west-country word, isn't...Yes, mizzle is a real west-country word, isn't it, a cross between drizzle and mist. Here, just a long the coast in Devon (OK, in the next country, har, har, Cornwall being a foreign land across the Tamar!) today, Thursday, is a bright sunny day, not quite cloudless but at last feeling a little more summer-like than last week. It's days like this I sometimes waste, torn between sitting in the garden/summerhouse, with a good book and a pot of tea, or getting on with much-needed housework/gardening! Prevaricating won't get either done, the reading or the work!<br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213430389313568934.post-33509320477993806392011-06-01T20:22:34.695+01:002011-06-01T20:22:34.695+01:00Our boiler went wrong again during the latest batc...Our boiler went wrong again during the latest batch of Cornish mizzle and it was blooming cold but hey ho, on the up we have ducklings!!
