Mum has been making some apple cake type item, much to the disgust of the horses who feel they should have the monopoly on apple eating.  The cross stitch has also made a little more progress, although as these things are very detailed, they do take a long time.  Aunty Biscuit meanwhile has started a sleeve for the aran jumper fortunately there were only a few rows of rib and forty two stitches.so that is good.
