Last night before dinner we had a little exhibition of all our work from the week. Everyone laid out the things they had been working on all week and we wandered round and admired it all, with a glass of kir royale in hand. So here is everyone’s work:
Fiona
Me
Karen
Linda
Sue
Ruth
Pat
Celia
Anne
Joanne
Val
Avril
Ursula
Unfortunately I don’t seem to have photographed Myra’s work 🙁 If anyone has a photo of it I would love to see it.
Here we all are celebrating our achievements of the week:
And here are our lovely hosts Christine and Graham:
We then repaired to the dining room for another one of Christine’s wonderful meals. She really is a very good cook, very yummy food every day, I shall definitely not stand on the scales for some time 🙂 And then back to our rooms to wrestle with the packing.
Anne left last night, and Sue and Ruth left very early in the morning to get their train, but the rest of us had quite a leisurely start to the day, a final panic about the case, and time for Graham to squash all the cases in the minibus and the volvo, then he and David drove us to the station and then airport.
The journey home all went very smoothly. I have mostly unpacked now and done two loads of washing 🙂
It has been a lovely week. Such a nice time and I feel very lucky to have spent it with such a wonderful group of creative, fun, and talented ladies. Roll on next year! (though next time I will try to be a little more minimal with my packing, I got the prize on the way home for being the most over the weight limit)
Can’t wait for next year!!! Shall have to lose weight before going though, because I was – ahem – slightly heavier by nearly 3 kilos at the end of the week. Can’t think why, because I never had any seconds ….. (maybe the firsts were slightly over-generous??)
Have started a throw in squares with some thick cotton from my stash. Lovin it.
Great to meet you Heather, and your mum Val.
It was lovely to meet you too. I know what you mean about the food 🙂 It was all so lovely that it seemed a shame not to make the most of it. It wasn’t just my suitcase that was somewhat heavier on the return journey! (its a good job they only weighed my luggage, not me too!)
Your thick cotton throw sounds lovely. I am working on my second beret, in the lipstick pink I bought in La Rochelle. Every time I sit down with it it reminds me of our holidays 🙂
