Just thought that you might like to see some of the beautiful glimpses of London at Christmas. The cold weather certainly adds to the atmosphere and there is a definite bustle of Christmas shopping. I was amazed at the number of men Christmas shopping! We visited ‘Harrods’ (madness) and ‘Fortnum & Masons’ and many of […]

Comments(4) But wait Fiona……there’s more! We have a great little apartment in London with a bed that folds up onto the wall and a kitchen! It is great value and fun. Our first day, however, started with snow. Just a brief snow flurry but cold and wet so we decided that a museum day was in […]
Read More..>>The Harrogate show is a wonderful showcase for new Embroidery Designers. I find Britain very different in the fact that there is a career path for Embroidery Designers! One designer stood out for me. Her name is Claire Moynihan and her project “moth balls” is wonderful. It appealed to my delight of embroidered insects!!!!! Thank-you […]
Read More..>>Today I went to the ‘Knitting and Stitching Show’ in Harrogate. It is similar to our ‘Stitches and Craft Show’ but bigger. The highlight of the day was meeting Roy Hirst.

The view from our B&B (up 10 flights of stairs to the attic!) is spectacular, especially at night when the Minster is flood lit.

One of the problems of travelling at this time of […]
Read More..>> Comments(7) I was in a huff for a few days thinking that nobody loved me - no comments on the blog! I kept checking and thinking that I wouldn’t tell about the RSN until I got some comments! Then I realised that I hadn’t ticked the box to allow them. Since then I haven’t had Internet […]
Read More..>> Comments(4) We are here and I am very excited because tomorrow is my class at the Royal School of Needlework! Today we spent the whole day at the palace and didn’t even have time for the gardens.
We arrived late last night from Boston and were delighted to find the view of the local police station and […]
Comments(2) I guess I can be impressed with minimal fuss by autumn leaves. Unfortunately we missed the ‘peak’ of leaf season in Vermont. However, I was impressed!!! I was fascinated that Vermont seems to have more seasons than most. There is Spring, then Summer, then Fall (Autumn or ‘leaf season’) then ‘Stick season’ (no leaves but […]
Read More..>> Comments(0) It seems like I have a lot of ground to cover as the weeks have been packed with new sights, new adventure, new ( and old) friends and lots of laughter. Before I leave Savannah I wanted to share some of Doug’s photos of the Bonaventure cemetery. I think that Spanish moss definitely adds to […]
