Wow - That Went Fast

I meant the last two months - not the last hour I spent trying to log on after I'd forgotten my password.

Anyway, I'm being bullied for not posting for so long, although, to be honest, I hadn't realised it had been so long.

What have I been up to?

Well, Pitch and Stitch has been busy - with some new faces which is always great, and the workshops have been busy.

We went to Malvern and marvelled at the Little Coxwell Quilters quilts - we are always saying it but we are so lucky to have Lynne Johnson as our teacher.

Then we had a visit from a very pregnant Victoria and the next day Jonathan and I went to St David's for our holiday and had a wonderful time.  The weather was amazing - so hot and sunny all week - we couldn't believe it. 

We stayed in a lovely little chapel just up from the coastal path

 

and went on a boat ride around Ramsay Island

and then walked around the island and heard seals singing and saw wild horses

Every evening we watched the sunset from the Jacuzzi

 

 

 and just had a wonderful time.  This being a Rabbitts holiday though, there had to be a downside.  The little chapel wasn't quite the luxury 'Luxury Cottages' promised us, so as well as other people's clothing in drawers, dirty pans, chewing gum on the bedside table, caravans along one side of the garden and the road to the coast on the other side, there were little bits of treasure left lying around for us to discover

But, they reimbursed us £100 of the £1100 cost so maybe that wasn't so bad, and Wales is such a beautiful place and we had such a wonderful time that it didn't spoil the holiday for us at all.

 

 

Then it was shearing time and because George was away we had to rope in the neighbours to help.  Here's Pat Murphy the trainer doing some excellent rolling

 

 

and Libby and Sophie working hard

 



The shearers are amazing

 

Then I was off down to Cornwall for my nephew's wedding which was lovely in a little Registry Office in Bude followed by a party in their local pub in Boscastle.  They loved the 'Underground Railroad' quilt I gave them

 

 

 

Then it was off to Jersey for Victoria's Baby Shower - baby's coming along nicely and we should be welcoming it into the world in the next three weeks

 

 

And of course, when I haven't been doing all this, like everyone else I've been watering, watering, watering!
