Flashback.....


I did this stitching before my holiday.... but everything got in a muddle before I left....

seed packets

Smell the Roses

These are for Gardeners Journal... I'm looking forward to getting back to these sweet stitcheries...

After we had recovered at the farm with a family reunion, barn dance and country walks Hubz and I travelled up alone northwards for a couple of nights ....


A stop in Sheffield at the Winter Gardens.... it was fun to recognise a couple of Ausi plants flourishing in the warm climate created by a huge class conservatory....

Norfolk Pine

 The main reason for this pop in was to meet up with Jane from Loopy's Place.  Jane and I have been blog friends for as long as I can remember but we have never met.  It was so fun to see her and have a couple of hours catch up.  Jane has grown her blog and business over the years we have been friends - and is always supportive and generous with her time.....  especially helping people develop skills and find a love in crafting....


Thank you Jane for my lovely fobs - perfect gift for me and they are already adorning my rotary cutters...... now everyone knows who they belong to!



 After our meet up Hubz and I walked around a bit... this is their town hall!!!  Beautiful...


In the quadrangle there was a number of groupings of these huge silver balls - it was a lovely day as you can see so the reflections showed up so effectively through the water.... very clever....




We then drove up to the Peak District to spend a couple of days ....... look at the view at the airbnb my son found us to stay..... tough gig?????


It was called Paddock Cottage and these were some of the residents of the paddock..... gotta love a black sheep!


Of course by then we needed to eat so off we went and found a little village with a pub...

It was pie night - and I have to say this was the best pie I have ever had - home made and such wonderful pastry - and served with lovely crispy soft in the middle chips!


Following that feast we had a lovely walk ...... (daylight until 10pm) .  Isn't this view just lovely - (that hill was actually quite steep so I hope you appreciate the walk I had to capture this picture!!)  It's the little villages I just love in the UK - those stone walls are ancient and I want to know their stories!



Righto, Gotta Go.... off to catch up with the Tuesday girls and sew little beach houses - yayayayaya......

Yes, I do appreciate you walking up the steep hill just for that picture. It is worth millions. Gosh! it's so beautiful. I just had to save it on my Pinterest. Awesome shot. Thanks for sharing your fantastic holiday with us. Enjoy! ;^)

Just love the English country side - love the UK house shows - though I am not sure I could live in some of those old country homes.

Lovely pics......thank you for sharing! Isn't it awesome when you come across a reminder of home as you did, we were thrilled to meet a pet cockatiel in a park while in Toronto, not a sound we expected to hear in Canada!
