A blog a day eh?

Okay, so blogging every day clearly isn't something I'm very good at.

I'm not even able to manage every week, or month.

Truth be told I haven't really had anything to blog about but lets see if I can think of something.

A few weeks ago I visited The Elephant House Cafe in Edinburgh. To anyone familiar with the JK. Rowling story this is the wee cafe where she would go to write in the early days (before she could afford heating.) It's the perfect location for some one wanting to make any Harry Potter pilgrimage, there are so many gems there to be discovered by any fan of the series. Out of the window I was sitting beside there was a fantastic view that looked up to Edinburgh castle and down to Greyfriars Graveyard.

The table we were sat at was a big old desk with drawers, and while my mum was being nosey poking in and out the drawers she happened across notes, thousands of them, stuffed in the drawers from customers and fans of the Harry Potter books from all over the world who were visiting Edinburgh, full of praise and love for the city and the books and the writer and the Elephant themed cafe. Such a lovely thing to come across that makes me smile whenever I think about it, it's very Potter-esque. Of course I added my own note, I drew a Harry Potter Elephant, with lightening scar and wizards ha and NHS glasses, with a wee note added, I forget what it said. If you go there and come across that note you know it's mine.

This is amazing and I want one.

Since Christmas I've taken up knitting to quite a great extent, I've been really getting into it and am almost finished my second Tom Baker (Of Doctor Who) scarf, this one I'm making for my Boyfreind's best friends, a return gift which was intended for 2 Christmases ago. I don't think I'll make one of them again, I'm sick of the colours and whey too time consuming.

Today I've started following some crafty bloggers and think I'll become a crafty blogger myself, I'm forever making things and have thousands of ideas for things to make, I'm still finding my feet but I'm loving every minute.

So now I have something to talk about hopefully I'll be here more often. :o)
