I'm back

Been to our Wednesday Parklands sit and sew this morning and it was noted by certain members that I have not done my blog for a while, well I have been on holiday and unlike a certain pair I do not (yet) have an Ipad. Any way had an absolutely fab holiday staying with friends in a place called Alcosebbre about an hours drive north from Valencia, never been that area before and I must say it is beautiful, very green. It was very hot so spent quite a lot of time in pool and sea but we also went out and about quite a bit so now we are back home to the cold and back to normal but only for two weeks and then we are off to Greece for two weeks. I have made another bag in the few days have been back, another order from my mother for one of her friends I think she has more friends than me but now I am concentrating on doing the Saints quilt for my grandson for xmas and notebook covers for presents etc. Kathy you do come up as a white exclamation mark on orange background on my followers list but Diana now comes up with the photo from her blog, please do not ask me for explanation!!

Forgot to say when we went to Aldburgh my sister, she is a quilter, and myself persuaded the men we should stop off in Wickham Market as it was supposed to be well worth a visit then we had to act so surprised when we parked in front of a quilt shop, Quilters Haven.

weekend

Had to leave the NEC a bit early to get home as we were going over to see my family in Suffolk for a few days and what a great weekend we had, not often seen sight of my sister in the pub with a cup of coffee, actually it was for my mum. Friday we went to Aldburgh the lovely seaside town time has forgotten, and long may it continue, I think my favourite photo is of the children sailing their small boats in the boating pond, then the dog who loves ice cream, I just love the Suffolk and Norfolk coast and am trying to talk my husband into moving back over there, don't think I am going to get anywhere. Saturday my son and his family came over so we could have a family reunion, which we try to do each year, we started off in a small village called Woolpit where my son was born and he likes to go back to have fish and chips, yummy they are too (I want to lose a stone before Thursday, ha ha dream on) then it was on to meet up with all the family, four generations then on Sunday, right out of the blue my nephew from New Zealand turned up so what an end to a great weekend. Now I have three days to starve before we go off to Spain on Thursday

Busy week

Thursday was the Quilt Show at the NEC, loved the quilts on display, some more more than others, wonderful demos going on and of course all the traders, bumping into people you haven't seen for ages and despite it being crowded and very hot in there it was a very enjoyable day
