Julie very kindly drove up here to meet us for lunch, she also brought us wonderful fresh veges from her garden and some brownie 😀
It was very special to have a catch up and a chat. We had a great lunch in the Hidden Cafe.

This is my progress on the Temperature Tree - four branches to go and then I can start on the leaves. I am very happy with it considering it is my first attempt at cross stitch.
No sewing tomorrow, probably reading and watching movies on the plane.
Happy stitching.
You’ve had a lovely holiday with Jenny.
ReplyDeleteJenny’s helped make some great KOGO blankets.
Safe travels.
