Covid Time Knitting
Covid Time has given me the opportunity to explore and experiments with my knitting. I love knitting and find it relaxing and challenging. There is always something new to learn. My Covid Time Knitting has resulted in two cardigans, a short sleeved jumper, four hats, four neck warmers, a scarf and two large shawls. I […]
Fox Sighting at Folly View
Lyndon was up in the night and looked out of the bedroom window. He thought he could see a cat below the greengage tree but he realised it was too big and had a big bushy tail with a white tip. A Fox, he surmised, was sniffing around under the greengage tree and was probably […]
Covid Time Television Binge Watching
Before Covid Time I used to think binge watching something on television was not for me. But what a revelation. We binge watched all of Line of Duty, we came to it late. Watching it all in one go, we were able to make links that a lot of our friends had missed watching each […]
Covid Time Blog Following
Blogs may bore you. I have friends who prefer Pod Casts but I do prefer the written word. My blog following habit revolve around, you guessed it, knitting, oh and mending. Kate Davies is a knitwear designer from Scotland. She produces beautiful knitting patterns, knitting books and knitting. Her husband Tom produces some lovely photographs […]

Covid Time Walks
As we can only walk locally during Covid Times I have explored a few different walks to take the dogs on. We all love walking Halford Meadows and Onny Meadows, with all their lovely sniffs (the dogs) and views of the hills (me). But we all like a change, and the dogs enjoy discovering different […]

Spring 2021 Has sprung here in Shropshire. We had a wonderful displays of snowdrops in February, a Spring precursor. We now have beautiful daffodils blooming everywhere. The banks at the road sides have clumps of pale yellow primroses. Hazel trees are beginning to lose their catkins but if you look closely you will see their […]
Covid Times
We hope everyone of our customers are keeping well during Covid Times. Here at Folly View we are both looking forward to having our Covid Vaccinations later this week. It seems silly to get excited about going to have a vaccination but it is an opportunity to see other people and to go out. The […]
Long Tailed Tits
Long Tailed Tits are one of my favourite birds. They are gregarious, noisy and so interesting to watch in the garden. We have lots of Long Tailed Tits around Folly View. We see them most days over the Winter time flitting from tree to tree with their hangers on, the blue Tits, Great Tits and […]
