Elizabeth Turner Curtains

Farm work and sewing?

All curtains fitted in Birdham house and Chichester job went well. Blinds in progress for lovely couple in Westbourne – we are a bit behind on those. It has been really busy and I hate  phone calls asking when jobs will be finished. I really don’t like people having to wait but when things are hand made it all takes time – but worth the wait is what I say!!

Renting premises on a farm is great and sometimes we get roped in to give a hand. Young cattle, out in the big wide world for the first time ,needed to be moved so we all had to block the many exits. Took me right back to my childhood as I grew up on a dairy farm and moving cattle from one end of the village to another was a regular occurrence. Sadly it has all gone and the old farmhouse is now owned by a large building society.

The trip to the osteopath was follwed by a visit to a sports physio for treatment on a dodgy hip – this involved a first me in the form of accupuncture. Seems to have helped- it appears  that the combination of curtain hanging and tennis playing does me no good whatsoever but I have to just get on with it as I have no intention of giving either of them up…!
