Very Happy & Healthy New Year

Then it is Chinese meal for Karl and me, 

followed by some bubbles, 

Then Eric , Karl and a piece of coal go out of the back door and in the front door at midnight 

Letting the old year out and the new one in. 

I know many of you suffered loss and sadness this year,,.so I am hoping the new year 

will bring positive vibes, with lots of kindness and friends,

Monday again.

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

I do hope you are keeping well. 

Oh wow this time  of year is so busy..

We must remember to stop and just breath and enjoy it though…

Not easy is it? 

We had our last one line workshop on Saturday.

It was such a lovely class…

I am so lucky to be able to spend time with everyone…online and in person.

I do feel so blessed…and still punch myself. 

On Sunday morning we took the boys to a charity open day at our local 

Holmes Chapel zoo

It was a fabulous morning…and so good to be able to help 

such a great cause.

We can’t wait to go back. 

Today I have our usual 

Monday catch up video to share with you 

I really enjoyed playing and coming up with  this idea..

I do hope you like it too

Magical Monday

Hi everyone 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

So sorry that I didn’t have time for a catch up yesterday but I just ran out of time. 

I got up early, walked Eric, did the food shop and then headed off to Ruthin. 

There was an hour and half delay on the M6 at junction 18 (where I would join the motorway) so I made my way via the back roads.

Needless to say they were busy too…it was raining but I eventually got to Ruthin. 

Sarah was joining me for lunch but our chosen cafe was closed. 

It was starting to be one of those days,,,but hey ho 

We walked into Ruthin, had a wonderful catch up whilst walking 

Found a lovely cafe…yummy soup and gf bread 

Happy days 

We wondered back to the shop to deliver our Christmas gifts  for Tracey and the rest of the gang. 

It is always so good to see everyone, get hugs, and have a good old natter…

So much catching up to do (maybe a snark peek at the new place 🧡) 

We may have done some shopping too….well I did NEED some more stickers…

Freya and Kev popped in too. 

We just kept chatting , it was just after 8pm when I got home. 

So I am popping in this morning with the link to yesterdays catch up video 

Some gel press play.

You can join me here

I hope you enjoy it 

I will be popping back with our Tuesday one later 

Coffee time here 

Have a lovely day and see you later 

Love and hugs
