holiday's end


The children have gone back to school today but it occurs to me there are only two and a half weeks before we're off again for Whit Half Term. What a funny old month April was this year.


We had a wonderful break, the majority of it spent in Dorset (where these photos were taken), enjoying the most incredible weather. Day after day after day. I felt quite sad to shut the place up and leave it behind.


As expected the only crafting I got in for myself was a bit of knitting but, whereas I had hoped I might have got it finished, I am still only half way through. Not too many photos taken either, come to think of it, so just a few to stir up the lovely memories of many happy moments.


And annoyingly, since getting back to the 'smoke' my previously fresh-air cleansed body has rebelled big time and struck me down with the wretched flu. Day three at least means I'm sitting up in bed, catching up on said project (can't be a bad thing) and wishing you all a very happy week.


With luck I should be back in the sewing seat tomorrow, with an awful lot to catch up on. Including sparing a thought or two to what I shall be sewing for next week's Kids Clothing Challenge. Are you going to join in?

    Do hope you feel better soon - what a horrid end to your holiday! The fact that you didn't get many photos may have meant that you were too busy enjoying yourselves - do hope so. Where did you see those lovely bluebells - I'd love to go and have a look for myself if they aren't all over by now.

    Such a shame to end your holiday with a dose of flu, hope you feel better soon and ready to get on with your kids sewing challenge.

    Your holiday photos are stunning, what a wonderful family vacation.

    I do hope you feel better soon. In March to early April I had some sort of mutant flu that I couldn't shake. It was awful, but I drank lots of honey lemon tea.

    Get well soon! A hot lemon and honey drink is a beauty for sore throats and blocked nasal passages. Those white cliffs are amazing and the bluebells are so beautiful under the trees...and white sand..is that rare in the UK? Nearly all the beach photos I've seen of Britain have pebbly beaches.

    Beautiful photos, especially the bluebell wood. I am so glad that your flu held off long enough for you to enjoy your time away.

    You've reminded me that next week is the kids sewing challenge. I am looking forward to seeing what you make

    Always a shame when holidays come to an end, especially when they've been so good, but to get the flu, that is a shame.
    I loved your visit to Tynham and the name Violet Cake.
    How did you get your lovely kitty to pose in the highchair so beautifully?
    Hope you're better now.

There's nothing like a comment to stop me feeling like I'm talking to myself. If you leave one here I'll pop one back here too, so don't forget to come back and continue the conversation ..
