Not a Patchwork shop to be seen!!!

Well we’ve just spent the past week in the South of France….. oh what a beautiful part of the world it is!!! We’ve been truly blessed with the most wonderful weather – although I think that will change once we get back to London, I hear it’s a bit dismal over there at the moment.

Went to Monte Carlo yesterday, I’ve never seen so many red Ferarris all in one place lol, seemed every time I turned around there was another one. Wow!!!! Here’s one outside the Casino in Monaco … it was surrounded by lots of equally flash cars I can assure you ……Week 2 028 Tahlia and Luke went into the Casino for a flutter so we walked around and explored …Week 2 042 Darryl asked me what I wanted for my 50th birthday – which isn’t too far away – and I showed him this in the Cartier window …Week 2 039 Somehow I don’t think I’m gonna be finding that wrapped up for me he he he …. all diamonds and rubies – isn’t it incredible!!??!! It was great fun looking in all the famous designer’s store windows :o)!!

Haven’t found one patchwork shop yet … hoping to when we start our trip up to Cumbria next week. We’re travelling from Surrey – to Bath (seeyasoon Maria & Trash!!!!!!) – then North to the Lake district, so if anyone has any favourite stores in those areas I’d LOVE to hear where they are :o)!!!

Still hit and miss with the innernets so I’m finding it really hard to reply to comments … but THANK YOU  to everyone who’s left a comment, I LOVE to read what you have to say :o)!!! I’ll post again soon if I can … til then ……..

Oh sweetie - I love that photo of you and Darryl! And those cars... straight out of a James Bond movie - how the other half live eh?!!!

Cumbria is my most favourite place in England! I have climbed a couple of mountains there... Hellvellen and Scafell Pike! Just beautiful! Lake Windermere is gorgeous, and Ullswater is another fave. I wasn't into patchwork when I lived in England - but I'll doa little search on the innernets for you and email you if I find any patchwork shops listed!!

Have fun sweetie!!! Hugs in abundance!! Theresa xxxxxxx

There is a fabulous shop in Irton, Holmrook, Lake District (which is one of my favourite places in the UK) called Fobbles.

You should ring to find out when they are open. Lynette Anderson recently did a worksop there.
