Thanks Country View Crafts

Hi everyone 

Thanks so much for popping in today 

I hope you have had a wonderful weekend. 

As you know on Wednesday we went off on our travels 

Thursday was my first day teaching at Country View Crafts 

Thanks so much Susan for inviting me,,.

I love your shop, your home, and you , 

Such a wonderful lady 

When we arrived I noticed some Poland bantams…oh my goodness 

They brought back so many memories 

I used to show this breed of bantams…I just love them.

That was such a good omen 

Susan was so welcoming,,.she had even got everyone an Inky Binky…with our initial embroidered on it. 

It was a fabulous day, 

Such lovely ladies 

A yummy lunch 

I loved every minute of it 

Karl picked me up and we went to the campsite at St Neots , about 20minutes away 

A wonderful campsite , and we are definitely going back .

Friday was a new set of crafters…and even more,,.we needed another table

More lovely ladies, we laughed, crafted, and had a brilliant time. 

Thanks so muchSusan  for inviting me…

I must say I did make a few purchases before I left,

Time to Relax….and unwind….

Hi everyone, 

I do hope today is treating you well. 

I am still feeling cold today…

Are you ? 

Mind you…

I am still suffering from Friday. 

I was walking up a narrow pavement in Holmes Chapel.

When suddenly I heard a loud noise and literally everything went black and I saw stars. 

I was passing a lady so I was on the outer side , but still on the pavement. 

When a wagon must have gone past too close and the wing mirror caught me,,,my right shoulder and neck 

I was in such shock I couldn’t even tell you what brand of wagon it was. 

I took paracetamol when I got home and carried on as I had prep to do for Saturday. 

I must admit though I am still sore, bruised and feeling under the weather. 

It has worried me though , 

It could have been so much worse. 

So I am just having a cheeky brew now, whilst relaxing and catching up with you 

My wonderful friends. 

Today I have a lovely little catch up video for you 

Here is a closer look 

I do hope you enjoy it 

You can find it here

Take care all
