The main thing since my last blog is Philly has moved to University - she now lives in Pontypridd in south Wales and is having a wonderful time. The four of us went out for a meal at
TGI Fridays the night before she left and Nick and I stayed at a lovely
Best Western Hotel the weekend we took her - it made it a good weekend for everyone.

This is the view from her room - she's very lucky as many of the other rooms look onto other flats or a wood. It is very steep - she is on the first floor but is above the flat block in the photo.

This weekend was
Needlecraft Haven's Autumn Exchange opening day and I received a beautiful project folder from Mary - it's a french design too which is just perfect. I am using it already :)

We've just had a weekend at the caravan but it was very windy this morning - quite nice to come home to the calmer weather. Next weekend Nick and are going to see the
Hairy Bikers Live - I'm really looking forward to it, and we are going to
Cafe Rouge before for dinner, my favourite restaurant.
Finally I have stitched the ornaments for the church tree this Christmas - my tree is called Family Tree and here's my ornaments so far.
Thank you for sharing in my latest news - hopefully next time the ornaments will be finished.
