a week off

I'm sitting here with a cup of fennel tea, sorting photos and thinking about the past week.

We spent the weekend camping in gorgeous Pembrokeshire, right by the sea...

 Shared Bible time together...

 And celebrated Warren's birthday with lovely fruit... 

 ... and a lovely spring welly walk at Westonbirt Arboretum ...

And finally popped down to the south coast and enjoyed a cathedral visit with Warren's mum.

a sewing day

Well, I like to think of it as a sewing day but maybe 'sewing prep' would be a more accurate description? You see, in these days of digital (apparent) helpfulness, patterns are downloaded, as you can see...

 Then they are pieced together...

 Then taped together...

 Then traced...

 Then the fabric can be cut out...

 Then - finally! - you get somewhere near the sewing machine!

 Some lovely stitching takes place...

Then methinks it's time for a cuppa!

our weekend

My word, it was a busy one - here are some highlights...

Celebrating Z's 6th birthday at his sports party.

New trainers for the big 6!

Sporty Playmobil people.

Hitting the Lounge twice in one day!

Warren's toast in Tewskesbury.

Gathering some gifts for a very valued friend.
