Hello everyone …… didja miss me lol???? It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted cos it was such a busy holiday and as I’ve mentioned before … not so reliable innernets, and even when we had it I didn’t have enough time to do a proper post!! I’m going to try and catch up on what you’ve all been up to over the next couple of days too.
Here’s a couple more piccies from the hol :o). First up is Bear outside an English phone box, she LOVED these…
only trouble with this one was she couldn’t get inside, no matter how hard she tried… 
must have been just for show lol. We travelled up to the Lake District – oh how incredibly beautiful it is up there, we got to visit Beatrix Potter’s ‘Hill Top’ Cottage…
unfortunately we weren’t allowed to take any piccies inside but it’s fascinating because it’s just as she left it, right down to her hat and shoes. They have some of her books open at the pages where she’s used parts of the house to illustrate her stories. I really enjoyed the tour, I’m a big fan ;o)!! After our fill of BP we were a bit peckish and we found this gawjus cafe’ – just chockers with Cath Kidston and crafty goodness. You can see by the smile on my dial I was in heaven he he….
I think it must have been a bit breezy that day judging by my ‘windswept and interesting’ look ;o). My DH didn’t seem to be quite as comfortable surrounded by all the girly frills and stuff he he he
bless him, he’s such a tolerant man :o).
Today the plan is to catch up with a few dear friends then I’m off to one of my favourite places to hopefully buy my new sewing machine!!! How exciting!!!

Hi Joy...welcome back!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed your trip, especially Cath's shop and the 'gawjus' pic of the Eiffel Tower. Have fun shopping for your new machine...I just got a new one too...Dzintra♥x
Oh my - I had a chance to buy one of those phone booths when I was in the Army, and I had to pass as I had nowhere to store it, nor any way to get it! Yes, I've been kicking myself ever since. Love the pics from your trip, can't wait to see your new sewing machine!!

Welcome back, Joy! Well, didn't you have just the best holiday. I have enjoyed looking at all the photos. There is one of those red phone boxes in Montville Village (the next town on the range to us). It too is just 'ornamental'.

He he, I wonder if Dr Who's Tardis was behind that door and that's why she couldn't open it, no sonic screwdriver!? Beatrix Potter's home and a great crafty cafe - sounds like a great day :).
