I am getting later and later posting blogs but this time for a good reason because I was waiting for the latest pictures of Jane's activities. We went to Kent on Friday stopping three times en route; lunch with Shirley Clark, a brief shopping foray in Dorking to support Jane's quilting activities and a visit to Lynda Kokoulis in Whitstable.
On Saturday we were at a birthday party to celebrate Tess and Theo reaching their first birthdays - and although Cherry sent me the photos I lack the technical know-how to get them onto the blog. So, it's another from the archive taken in Port Mahon rather than delay the process longer! On Sunday morning Jane managed a walk by the sea from Dumpton Gap to Broadstairs and then up the cliff for a coffee at Morellis (wonderful, unspoiled sixties' cafe with really good coffee). We then went on for lunch to celebrate Kay and Bill's 57th wedding anniversary - many congratulations again to them!
We made our way home on Sunday afternoon after watching England beat France (thank you for your patience, Jonathan!). All in all, it was a busy weekend - Jane did really well and had 2 consecutive nights out of her own bed!

In about one hour we are off to collect Lydia from Heathrow at the end of her New York adventure. Jane feels up to a Salisbury - Heathrow - Guildford - Salisbury round trip so that can't be bad.
Our love to you all.

Hi Jane & Peter,
Probably by the time you read this, you will have collected Lydia from the airport, and I'm sure you'll be bouyed by her and her experiences in the big apple. That's great you are feeling up to the trip Jane, I imagine you cant wait to hear about Lyd's adventures! I'd be like that too.
Rachie is coming home this weekend, and I know we will have lots of good talks because she has lots to spill...she has recently broken up with a boyfriend.(given him the boot actually) Janie also is coming home on Sunday, she is picking up the car to borrow it for a week!(Aren't we nice parents? ha!)
So you're doing quilting Jane, that sounds fun, you always made the sweetest little puff quilts for babies and dolls. I loved them. I have recently attended the Kingston Fibre Arts Show and they had some absolutely magnificent quitlts and lots of other exquisite fibre art. One I remember was a quilt inspired by the lid of a sarcophogus from an Egyptian queen. It was spectacular, all blue and gold stars and intricate quilted patterns. There was tons of beautiful felted wool sculpture, if you want to see some of that check out www.andrea-graham.com she has some amazing felted wool pieces.
Well it's great to read your recent news I love it.
Take care and have a lovely time catching up with Lyds!!
Love Sally XO
