Home is the wanderer, home from the sea.

I have to confess to having done very little in the past 10 days or so, I've just come back from a cruise to Norway so there was packing to be done before we went, and lots of washing to do now we're back!   What a beautiful country, I've never seen such majestic scenery, so many waterfalls and so much green.   It was breathtakingly beautiful and especially so at midsummer - daylight for almost 24 hours a day.    We were so lucky with the weather too - apparently it rains an awful lot in Norway but we managed 4 days of good weather with only a few isolated showers.   So far, today, I've downloaded 460 photos (more to come) - despite the fact that the autofocus on my wide angle lens gave up the ghost on the first day.   As I was having to use the manual focus, what with my dodgy eyesight, it remains to be seen how many survive the delete button but, heigh ho, it was a wonderful holiday nevertheless.

I came home on Friday and, on Saturday, went to the usual Craft Fair at the Old Police Station, Lark Lane.   I don’t know why,  but it was really very quiet and I spent some time finishing another scarf like the one pictured in my last blog,  and I started another one, white/cream, this time.

I'm expecting to be busy with family things this week but I'm hoping to squeeze in a bit of time to make some more poppies, perhaps an organza brooch or two and finish the felt landscape picture before we go to the Adult Education College in Lancaster on Saturday - I think I may be a tad optimistic, we'll see.
