At Last I'm Back.

HELLO EVERYONE.

At last, I am up and running again.

 I won't go into details but I have a new computer and

have a faster (supposedly!) fibre optic broadband so I should now be super efficient.

Nice idea but don't hold your breath will you.

So many things have happened since I last spoke to you 

that this post would turn into a novel

if I went through them all now.

So here are just a few of the highlights.

A trip to the American Museum at Claverton ,Bath

to see the Kaffe Fassett exhibition 

and have a 2 day workshop with the wonderful

Janet Bolton.  She is one of the nicest ladies

I have ever met and the workshop was a real dream,

So relaxed and was part of the Bath Summer School

programme of events.

I would love to show you

some of the photos I took of the workshop

 but a couple of the ladies

there weren't happy about being put on the internet

so instead just a couple of photos from the exhibition.

Including the sample wall which I think is a fabulous idea.

Kaffe knows that the first thing any needle person wants to do

is grab hold of the fabric so he had a collection of samples so 

you could have a good old nose at the back.

Makes you feel a to happier about your own work I can tell you.

Of course there has been

Plenty of time at Cromer watching the sunset and spending time with 

my children at the Surf life saving club.

We have had some wonderful sunsets this year.

Short breaks with my Brother in Bradford on Avon, 

Wiltshire

My Son on the Gower peninsular in South Wales

and of course the fantastic poppies at the Tower.

I have bought one of these to remember my Great Uncle

Herbert and Guy's Great Grandfather both of whom 

where killed in the Great War (WW1).

We both found the experience very moving and were so very glad we 

made the trip down from Norfolk.

So with a week in Somerset and a holiday in Madeira 

and Rugby at Twickenham  last weekend

that about brings you up to date with my many and varied

 travels while I've had my time away from blogging.

Next time I will try show you some of the projects I have managed 

to complete over the last couple of months although I also am going on a trip 

to the country living fair with my daughter  this week so might tell you about that instead.

We really need a nice cup of tea and a good old natter don't we.

 Anyway

Hope you are all well and 

see you again soon.

It's good to be back.
