Trips away from home
Today was the annual Totnes and District Show. This is the first time we have been for many years - somehow we never seemed to manage it. It was a very much smaller affair than the Devon County Show but it was still a great little show, and I was delighted to find…
No further progress on the slippers this week, I'm afraid. It's been another busy week. On Saturday we went to the fete at the village where we used to live. We try to go every year. It's always a fun afternoon out, and also an opportunity to meet up with old friends again.…
Better late than never for WOYWW! I've had a very busy couple of days. Slippers I've managed to do a few more stitches on my slippers this week. Not a lot, but progress of a sort! Brilliant news Last week I had a surprise phone call to say that my new wheelchair would…
Big surprise! Last week I received a phone call to say that my Trekinetic wheelchair would be arriving this week! I was super-excited, because they told me it would not be with us before the end of July. This means we have got the whole of the rest of the summer in which…
Today was such a lovely sunny day (about the first this summer!) that my hubby suggested we went out, and he drove us to Brixham, which is a fishing town in Torbay, not far from where we live. I had visited friends there, but had never been along the harbour before. It is…
Back in the studio again briefly, to make a special card for a special friend! This is how my desk looked on Monday afternoon. It was my friend's 60th birthday and she invited me and four other special friends for a girls' lunch at Bistrot Pierre in Torquay. I had never been there…
Still nothing on the desk, I'm afraid. I've been too busy with other things, and too tired, to even think about anything creative. I didn't join in last week but managed to visit a few folks, and was so happy to see the photos of the crop! It looks as if all the…
Sorry I didn't manage to visit many of you last week. I've been very busy working on my disability benefit form, and also I've been in my studio again! (This is getting to be a habit...) It's really great to be able to show you a "real" WOYWW post this week, even if…
Today is our 33rd wedding anniversary. Where did all those years go? He was 70 on Sunday, and we were both in our 30s when we got married! I haven't been feeling too well lately but like with his birthday, I felt I must make an effort and get a card made for…
Warning - long post!! On Thursday my hubby and I went to the Devon County Show. This is one of the best days out of the year for me. It's always such a treat, with so much to see, and lots of bargains to be had. I always vow not to spend so…
