An Apology

I have to start with an apology again!  I know, I am always doing that lately.  However, my mum is needing more and more support from me and I just don't feel like doing anything much.  I am doing some sewing, but it's more about a need than a want.  So, I have just put together another little slide-show of our September visit to Spain.

Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know!

I'm Back!

Sorry folks, no card.  Just some scenery from our break away!

Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know! 

If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.

Home Again!

OK, lovely people, no card today. just some stories, pics and video clips of my month in Andalucia!

First, I want to say, that I was able to receive my e-mails on my UK mobile (they have finally stopped roaming charges, thanks to the EU, but that probably won't last long now that we are coming out).  However, it was far too laborious to use a phone for anything other than e-mails.  So, thank you so so much if you visited and commented whilst I was away, I hope to make it up to you!  I did manage to post some pics to Instagram that I took on my phone, so I apologise to anyone who has already seen some of the pictures there.  First I will show a few pics and some short video clips of the surrounding 'campo' (countryside) and then on to a couple of stories.

 

Now, although there is nothing they sell for card making in that particular area, they have started to stock some wool and knitting needles, so, as I haven't knitted anything in years, I decided to start easy and knit a scarf for my very dear friend who lives there for the very cold winters they get!  

The weather was wonderful all month and it was a very relaxing time, except for the last week, when I was sat quietly reading a book in the sunshine minding my own business and a wasp stung me on the ankle!  Three days later I had to go to the emergency room as it was just getting worse and worse and swelling alarmingly, there they gave me a shot and some tablets and cream to massage in.

As I say, I apologise to those of you who have seen the pictures already on Instagram, and thanks to everyone who kindly visited and commented whilst I was away, it is so very kind of you all!

And, thank you today also, especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know! If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
