Many years ago ... probably 10 or even 15 these were a Round Robin and they have been in the drawer ever since.
I finally had some frames made and have now fully finished them. They are hanging in the conservatory. I might have Autumn and Spring charts somewhere but I have no immediate plans to do them too.
I stitched these years ago... yep more left in a drawer. I went off them as they do not start with capital letters but as I've stitched them it seems a shame not to show them so I had a small frame made to match my other monthly piece and I will change them each month too.
I have cut them to the frame size and used interfacing to back them so they don't fray. I keep them in a drawer between being in the frame so they are kept flat.
Why do I remember it so clearly 🤔
Because not only did Nick buy a ticket (and in my opinion win first prize 😉) but it was the start of our many adventures, the first being to Lynmouth which we revisited last week 🥰
We would never have guessed back then what a super family we'd have and how many memories we'd make ❤️
Here's our first kiss and recent reenactment with the hotel which is now apartments. I have put a few more photos on Facebook
I don't know where 40 years has gone but I do know I have lots of happy memories.
