I'm Still Here

 Well my 'radio silence' has not been because of anything dreadful or indeed anything wonderfully exciting, simply procrastination. I probably have lots to share but keep mulling over any content I think may be of interest, until I decide no, too mundane, I'll wait for inspiration.

I'm biting the bullet today and posting regardless of the lack of world shattering interesting content.

In a rather nice turn of events the Mr has decided to reduce his working week to three days which means he and I are able to spend more time together. We are aiming to make greater use of our National Trust cards and get out at least once a week for a grand day out. We would also love to visit various interesting spots overnight, the only issue is finding a loving cat sitter to look after our chonky cat Morgana.

Happily a lovely girl I work with has been helping us out with that and she and Morgana have been spending cosy evenings and nights together.

A few weeks ago the Mr and I visited an extraordinary place in Wales called Portmeirion. I feel sure most of you will have heard of it. Designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis in the early 20th century, it has Riviera inspired multi coloured houses, huge ornamental gardens and sits on a gorgeous bay. You can actually stay in the 'Village', but it was so early in the season we decided not to on this occasion.

 

Apparently it was a place Brian Epstein visited many times and guess what? My fabulous Guru George Harrison stayed there for his 50th birthday. A magical and mysterious place.

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to my latest follower 'Stitchy Woman'. It pleases me greatly to feel a few more folk are part of my online family. Could I ask that if you visit regularly that you also press the follow button. I seem to get thousands of visits but don't know who you are:)
