Clematis

It has been raining again. I went to church this morning, and photographed the clematis that drapes the stone walls surrounding the gardens on the road to the church.

I then dropped round a friends house, cleaned the house, and sewed a couple of buttons back on a blouse I'd like to wear again for work. I've grown up repairing and making clothes when required. I don't make much now, as I never have the time, so my machine is tucked away in the attic, but repairs are always relatively easy. It always surprises me other people don't. But then, clothes are cheap these days. I wonder how many of us are left who know how to darn socks properly. Its a shame to see the skills gradually lost.
