In and out the Dusty Bluebells

that is the song that surfaced in my mind this week as my BFF and I were working on our tandem project.

I could not quite catch it, and asked my friend about it and she agreed immediately it was a song that had resonance with her too.  A bit of thought and we moved past it being a nursery rhyme and delved back in the past to connect with our early school days and a circle game from playtime. 

That lead to discussions of the different playtime games we could recall. Whilst we both went to school in the same town, we did not attend the same schools and there are a few years between us so there were differences to the games, the rhymes and how they were played.

In a world with a lot of stressful things going on this was a nice relaxing conversation.

Now as to my stitching progress you might be thinking I was working on bluebells of one size or another, nope.




I started, as I finished on the big trees, but that was not being fun, so time for a new colour, well a new shade at the least. More green, bluebell leaves, so maybe in and out was the right song indeed.

My BFF whilst also in the green was in a different green pop on over to her blog, here is THE LINK , to see her progress.

I remember the song from my Primary School days too. Our local Primary School has a play leader who teaches the children some of the games and songs we remember. Lovely to see the children playing What's the Time Mister Wolf? And so on.
