Holiday

Have just come home from a lovely week away in Wales - sunshine, beaches, rest, family ..... Really did not want to come home but feeling better about it now we've been home a few days!

Beach at Barmouth

More pics to follow, hope your summer so far is full of fun!

Strawberries before my eyes

Only 4 days to go until the Strawberry Fair, I am now on my 3rd long list, lots of sewing over the last few weeks, bunting for the counter is finished, many floor plans drawn up and scribbled out and of course there is still endless baking but feeling ok....I know everything will be fine! ......Arrrgghhhhh!! Just had to get that little yell out of the way, I think it 's good to have a bit of a scream and shout every now and then- clears the mind and all that sort of thing...
Hopefully will have some good pictures to share after the event ( must not forget camera!)

Completed Strawberries

The sunshine continues as does the crafting ..... carefully nurturing my little strawberry plants in the garden for the fair - they are coming along nicely, set to fruit in August.
Just one day left of the school hols now for child no. 3 - big girl is all done and dusted except for one last GCSE paper next week - FP is braving the school bus alone now and can not wait for the end of term in 6 weeks, she's been working really hard on GCSE papers the last few weeks also.....time rushes on, nearly another year older - do not really want to think about that .....

Fruity Days !!

While I hide indoors from the unusually hot sun, the pile of knitted strawberries on my desk is growing steadily......I appear to have become completely obsessed with the little fruity things - I am organising a Strawberry Fair at my local Church and soft fruit has taken over my life......never thought I'd say that...

Come back soon and see a few of the finished fruit !

So, as I gather together and research all things strawberry here are a few pics to sweeten up your day :

Happy Strawbing everyone !!!
