Blast from the Past

Yesterday was a real blast from the past, myself and my two daughters went and caught up with the daughter of an ex of mine. Her father who was a single dad at the time and I, lived together for about 18 months many moons ago. So it was nice to catch up and go back over old times. The only thing that had changed, was her very broad scottish accent which is much more englified now. One odd thing was, that none of us could remember why me and her dad had split up lol.

In a few hours time we'll be setting off back home again. I'd hoped to get some craft stuff done while I was here but that never happened as we were too busy gadding about lol. I didn't mind too much, as I don't really get out to explore any more, when I'm at home, and it's something I really miss.

But once home I need to knuckle down and get some serious work done. My daughter has lent me her sewing machine, so I can get some embroidery done, once I get home which is handy. I also need to get the 2nd Dr Marten boot decorated and up for sale too. I also need to try and get hold of some more boots, as Mike at the gallery where my work is exhibited and up for sale, was very keen on the boot when I showed him the photo's of it.

Time to go and pack I think :o)

At last !!

At last I've remembered what my password is on here dohhhh lol.

Well it's been a whirlwind of activity here since we arrived. We've been out every day for most of the day and I can honestly say I'm knackered, and my back and knee's are really feeling it, but it's been good fun though.

We've been to car boots, visiting my sons, exploring woods and going to a nature centre. I really enjoyed the nature centre there was a lot more to see than I expected there and my youngest grand daughter loved it too. As you can see from the photo of her she really didn't want to leave. For me the thing I enjoyed seeing the most was a barn owl, such beautiful birds. I haven't downloaded my photo's yet, so I'll nick a couple of my daughters ones although I took the photo's of the barn owl anyway.
