November Repost #4 Pat Visiting the Smallholding

Blog commenter 'Traveller' asked if would re-post the blog post about Pat -Weaver of Grass visiting the smallholding back in 2015. This dates from 24th May 2015.

Most of the post isn't of any interest anymore so I've not included it and I'm reluctant to show the photo of us as it was before I lost a bit of weight and I'm there in baggy tee shirt and shorts!


Last week I had a visit from a lovely blogger, well known to many of you out there because she writes so fluently about her life on a Yorkshire farm. Yes, Pat AKA The Weaver of Grass came around with The Farmer for a cuppa while they were on holiday in Aldeburgh. Here we are after a look round the garden, I'm complaining loudly that I'm in baggy shorts and tee-shirt  so  not dressed for photos, but as John at Going Gently would say "Hey Ho!"

 


The weather wasn't the best for their stay in Suffolk, which was a shame but I hope they enjoyed their visit to the East coast.


They were such a lovely couple to meet. RIP Pat. 


Back Tomorrow
Sue

    I’m having trouble publishing comments so doing this via phone - thus brief!

    1. Annoying about the comment problem. Blogger is sometimes very odd

  8. Oh, I'm always happy to see photos of the bloggers I read. It's like getting a penpal's picture and makes us all seem more like friends! How nice that you had a visit with Pat. I think of her often...

  9. I appreciate the connections made as bloggers become friends. It is no insignificant thing. I don’t comment very often, but I do check in nearly every day to see how you are doing and what has captured your thoughts.

  10. Thanks Sue. You are lucky to have met her in the flesh. From reading her blog she seemed like quite a remarkable woman. She tackled controversial issues and allowed people to respectfully disagree.

    Her intelligence shone through

  21. Does this mean that Weaver of Grass has finally passed. If so then RIP Weave. I read her blog for many years.

  23. Hello Sue, I have read your blog for many years and don't think I've ever commented; I'm comment-shy! Thanks for this post, I read Weaver's blog for years too. I admire your common sense take on life and especially how strong and brave you have been in losing your dear husband. You have worked hard to adjust and make a life on your own. I know it's not easy. I live in the US, in New Mexico. Like you I have three adult children and five grands. Thanks for being you and I wish you the best going forward. Becky

  24. Hello Sue, I read your blog every day and I used to read Weaver´s blog, too. It is so good to learn about how people´s everyday life in other countries. I can very well imagine your meeting - two ladies with a lot of common sense and a lot of strength.
    The photo is lovely, you both have a great smile and that is more important than clothes.
    I live in Germany, near Cologne and the river Rhine. I am a mother of two and have five grands. Thank you for your blog to start my day with.

  25. I think you both look lovely in the photo. Pat, like a farmers wife on holiday and you like a stallholder stopping work for guests. Everyone that visited ours used to just find me in ripped jeans and t-shirts.
