WOYWW

 Hello. I do hope all those in the UK enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend. What amazing weather we had/have. 

We finally went to stop with our son in Yorkshire - we followed all the rules. It was the first time we had stayed with them since Christmas 2019. It was wonderful, we were so spoiled and I cried. 

Our eldest grandson left school on Thursday, he will be 16 on 23rd June. His school don't have a 6th form, they go on to College or A levels. I can't believe he is almost 16. 

On Monday we all met up, outdoors, both sons and their families. We had a wonderful picnic etc together. 

We made some very special memories which I will treasure forever.

(See photos below) 

It will soon be a year since my mum died. I finally felt ready to send the only three items of clothing I have of Mum's (long story) to Annie. I have a Memory Bear made from Dad's clothing and now one from Mum's. As always Annie did a wonderful job. She also hemmed the housecoat used so I can still wear it. How lovely is that? 






I haven't done a lot of crafting as last week I was getting ready to go to Yorkshire on Friday. Today ( Tuesday)Today  I started some bits and bobs ready for a plant etc sale at the centre where I hope to hold my class.

My desk on Wednesday morning


We are now looking after the guinea pigs for youngest son and family, They are having a few days in London. :-)



Watching Sam at cricket training on Friday evening


Enjoyed sitting in the summer House with a G&T listening to the stream just beyond the wall

A drink with my D.I.L. at the village pub

They all prepared dinner on Sun eve

There are of course lots more photos and activities but am sure you get the idea. 

I look forward to visiting other desks and hearing about what you have all been up to.

  4. What a Lovely outing! I know you were beyond thrilled to be together. She did a fab job on those bears, as always. The food looked yummy. Ralph stretched out next to DH looked very reminiscent of my dog as he is stretched out on the sofa at the moment. I think your Ralph has more white than my HoneyB, though. HB has lots of caramel to his coat. Hugs & Creative Blessings! Kelly #26

  6. What lovely happy photos - no wonder you didn't do much crafting! Annie has done a beautiful job on the little bears, and it's lovely to have something so special to treasure.
    Hope you have a good week and the sun continues to shine,

  7. No wonder you cried, there’s been a lot of waiting and storing of quiet anxieties...to see them for real and be reassured that they really are alright (for only You would know for sure) is priceless. Looks as though you had a marvellous weekend, and I hope for a moot more this summer!

  8. Oh I love all those photos. Outdoors seem to be where we've all been this past week. It's been great here in our area. With No Wind most all the fun things can be enjoyed. I came in to make a little lunch and after seeing your food I think it's what will be for supper !! Enjoy a great week.

  12. Oh how lovely your two little bears look together. I love making the Memory bears but it’s even more pleasurable when I’m making them for friends. I’m also thrilled that you had such a special time away with your family....we’ve really missed too much of that haven’t we?
    Hugs,
