Holiday times

A couple of weeks ago we took a lovely trip for half term.  Thankfully, the majority of the week was decent weather, not too hot or cold until the end of the week.

After spending a lovely couple of days with family, we went to a beautiful place on the Yorkshire Coast called Filey, where we've taken a few holidays over the years.  I wanted to share a few photos as we've had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and as it's autumn it means that we don't have to get up too early to see them (although quite often we were waiting for an early train at Filey station to take us out for the day)

Here are some photos from our trip.  We had such a beautiful time (once we had forgotten about the crazy train journey/cancellations/delays to get there in the first place)

After a few lovely days, the rain came...Still gorgeous though!

Comments

Apologies friends, I've only just realised that Blogger has managed to somehow stop sending me notifications when someone comments on the blog, so there were a bunch sitting awaiting my approval (alongside a load of spam)... and I was there thinking nobody was reading it, hahaha!

Thanks ever so much for your lovely comments, they made me feel all happy this morning. I hope it's all fixed now!

Have a beautiful weekend, whatever you are up to!  I've done my workout and now I'm catching up on your blogs and chores and TV...anyone else watching Strictly this year?

IHSW October

Hello everyone!

Time for a very late IHSW post.  That's International Hermit and Stitch Weekend for those of you not familiar with this term.  You can find out more about it HERE!

I was away over the week starting with IHSW so it stretched a bit to a train journey either side of my travels with an evening in the middle of the week.

So, this IHSW I worked on my baubles for the Mr X Stitch project some more as the deadline was 31st October... Of course I stretched it right until the deadline date.  I am really pleased with them and they were a nice straightforward stitch that I was able to do when I was travelling or just pick up for a short time at home to relax.

Here are my results...I hope they look as striking when they are all framed and hanging in Standen House!  For more information about the project, here's the link.
