I had thought that I seemed to be slipping behind with this year long project, but I actually managed a further nine thank you letters over the last quarter, just one less that in the second quarter. As in the previous two quarters, the majority were delivered by the Royal Mail. Two were delivered by … Continue reading A Year of Thanking | 3rd Quarter Review

Month in Numbers | July 2019
Did we have a joyful July? Let's see what the numbers tell us ... 8 hours of tennis at Wimbledon resulted in seeing 4 matches, taking 258 photos (bonkers!), 2 alcoholic drinks and 1 cream tea.

Scrapping in 2019 #8
I'm pleased to have rediscovered the urge to create a few more 12x12 pages (although that's not to say I haven't enjoyed working with pocket pages recently). I added one double spread to this year's album about Guernsey - there was no need to add more, as the trip is recorded in its own album. … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #8

Seven bundles of cuteness Trusting: that mummy duck can keep her … Continue reading TGIF | With a Difference #3

Wimbledon Museum and Tour
The Boy Child and I ventured South of the river yesterday in order to visit the Wimbledon Museum and take the tour. What a contrast to my last visit! No wandering the hallowed grounds except as part of a tour, or if you're a member of the AELTC. Our guide was excellent; informative, engaging … Continue reading Wimbledon Museum and Tour
