Yes it was Barbados!.....and Back to Reality.....

Firstly a very big well done to Bebby for guessing my holiday destination!

 

Yes it was beautiful Barbados!!

Oh those sun loungers are beckoning.....

 

.......shall we lie in the sun?

Or sit in the shade of the palm tree?....

Or shall we go for a dip in that warm turquoise sea?.........

 

(So looking forward to seeing your photos, Bebby! :) )

 

If you're not having Barbados temperatures where you are, check out Bebby's Etsy shop, BebbyJumpers, for cosy wristwarmers (and other quality baby, children's and adult handknits).

 

Remember these pretty wristwarmers I treated myself to last year?

 

Well.....they were made by Bebby....

 

 

So cosy and warm.....

 

Attempting to get back to some sort of reality/normality after my wonderful holiday, last week I ordered in some new fabrics for my shop.....

 

.....here they are.....

 

'Sophie' cotton.....vintage pink roses on pink.....

 

 

'Proud as a Peacock' cotton......peacock feathers on teal....

 

 

Campervan cotton......on turquoise.....

 

 

And back in stock...... the very pretty 'Lula' roses on red.......

 

 

All these fabrics are available for £6.99 per metre (plus postage) in my eBay shop, Daisy Patchwork, here. They will also be available on my Etsy and Folksy shops very soon.....

 

Mmmm....time for another Rum Punch?

 

 

Maybe not....it's 7am in the morning ;)

 

See you soon,

Sunset, Crochet Squares and Fish

My holiday destination.....

 

 

A few clues.......... 

 

 

 A Sunset at 6.30pm......

Palm trees and blue skies.......

Crochet on the beach......

I made quite a few squares.......

 

The stunning east coast......

......and the best fish market.......

It is thought that this destination's original name meant 'Red land with white teeth'...

 

and...

 

Camouflage clothing is banned!

 

 

Have you guessed yet?

Back home in the Cotswolds

Hello!

 

I hope you are well.....

 

I've not been around to write my blog for a while....it's been nearly a month!

 

I do have a good excuse though...

 

I've just returned from a fabulous holiday.......

I'm not going to tell you all about it straight away.....I thought I'd slip a few photos and clues into my next few posts to see if you can guess where we went......I've lots to tell you!

 

Back home to a colder climate.....today we went for an afternoon walk making the most of the sunshine.

 

Lots of beautiful animals about today :)

 

This pony had found a sunny spot in her field.....

Our neighbour's donkey was peeping at me.....

These two horses were well wrapped up against the cold wind......

Down at the canal, Mr and Mrs Duck....

Further restoration work has taken place on the old canal.......

.......including work on the footpaths.......

The sheep by the river were enjoying the dappled sunshine.....some were having an afternoon snooze...

Spencer played with his ball, letting it fall into the canal.......

and then fetching it again......

But we knew it would end in tears.....the ball floated in too far in.........

......and despite his efforts to retrieve it.......

(he hasn't learnt to swim yet!)

 

....poor Spencer lost his ball :(

 

He soon forgot about it though.......

The sheep were probably thinking, 'Silly dog...what a fuss about nothing'.....

These cattle were milling about....

 

The lonely pony was too far up the field today but the cheeky Belted Galloways were nearby......

...and the turtles were on the pavement!

 

 

It was so lovely to see all these animals.....
