Home Again

We are Home Again and I would love to tell you that I am happy to be here, but truly I would rather still be sitting beside the sea. We got back late on Friday night and I'm right bang in the midst of the inevitable post-holiday slump. Surrounded by mountains of mess, piles of dirty clothes, demanding (overtired) children and a grumpy (back-to-work-tomorrow) husband.

Ah well, it'll pass. It WIlL PaSs. At least this next week will be a quiet one at home for me and the Little People and I might be able to sum up the will to start sorting things out around here. I will attempt to perform some heavy duty Home Blessing, pull my heart and soul away from the seashore and fall back in love with my home and it's place amidst the hills of Yorkshire. 

I transferred all my holiday snaps from my camera to the laptop last night and was amazed to find 447 of them! Gosh, what a lot of visual memory making I performed last week! I'm really looking forward to sharing some of them with you during this next week, but in the meantime, here are a few random pictures.........

As you can see, we were incredibly blessed with the weather last week. It was absolutely beautiful with day after day of deep blue skies and hot summer sun. It felt like we had been given a precious gift, a perfect week of High Summer and oh we did appreciate it! It was a wonderful holiday, truly wonderful. Looking forward to telling you all about it.

Back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Lucy, I live in Perth western Australia and thought I'd let u know that I LOVE your blog. Your photos inspire me to practice and the things that you do with your Little People inspire me to do the same with m 3 year old boy. Looking forward to seeing the photos of your holiday. Love JoAnne xx

Hi Lucy:) Welcome home! YOur photos are beautiful. I must say i love the one of all the little pebbles on some of your hooky goodness. Im sure they represent your little family.....
I have recently brought some crochet books from the book depository and have been practising some more hooky goodness so i can be just like you:) I brought 200 crochet blocks for blankets, throws and afghans by Jan Eaton. As well as Around the corner crochet borders by Edie Eckman but i think this one may have been a little ambitious:) But im willing to have a go! Thankyou for inspiring me through your chatty fun posts and snippets into your world. I appreciate it:)

Welcome home :)

I think the best way to cope with coming home is to go for a looong family walk with a picnic, and then snuggle on the sofa with a cracking movie.

Just a suggestion!

Hello from Denmark and welcome back. Great photos :) I love your blog, you are so talented.

Hi Lucy. I look forward to hearing all about your hols. Wasn't the weather just perfect?

We've just returned from a week in the Cotswolds and I am trying my hardest to be happy about it, but I'm not. I want to still be in Gloucestershire, enjoying the countryside. *sulk*

Welcome home, the weather really was great - you picked a good time to go! I too am surrounded by holiday clothes and trying to organise my house. Wish me luck for the day!

[Stefanie B]

Welcome back! I have to say, ever since I stumbled over your blog about 1,5 weeks ago I can barely pry myself away from it. It's like a picture book for adults. Absolutely LOVE it! Only downside: in my freetime now I can barey decide if I do some hooky or keep snooping through the archives of your blog. hehe. Once again, welcome back and greetings from Germany, Stefanie

[Annika]

Glad you had a lovely week. I know how you are feeling as we have just been back from our seaside holiday for a week and I had a mountain of laundry to do, but I was very strict with myself and as each load was dry I ironed it immediately and suddenly the mountain had gone! :)
Take this week to relax and potter around your home and enjoy your photos - it is extremely calming; it's what I have been doing for the past week! :) Best wishes, Pj x

Glad you had a fab time Lucy and such gorgeous weather. Can you really miss someone you don't know? Well, you can miss their chatty, optimistic blog posts. I'm having a little holiday myself at the mo. Some friends of ours bought a holiday cottage in Yorkshire, because she has so many lovely holiday memories from her childhood. And yesterday, having driven through Ilkley and literally as we're driving through Bolton Abbey on our way to Burnsall, that's where we're staying, I say to my other half, "I think that woman who's blog I read, who taught me how to crochet properly might live near here...." I'm in Lucy Country!!!

[José]

Hi Lucy, good to hear you had a grand time :-) Always love your blog and I think your photo's are stunning ! I specially love the one with the flower and cricket ( if that's what it is..I'm no good there..shame on me.. )! How did you manage to take that one ?

[Rachell]

Glad you had a good week, you did have stunning weather xx

[Claire]

[Karin]

Welcome at your colourful home!
Your photos are wonderful!

[Pom Pom]

I was by the sea, too. I can't get enough of lovely water views and salty ocean smells. Sigh.
It IS hard to adjust to regular life again. GIve yourself great grace as you lolly gag back into daily routines.

[kim grabowski]

missed you...i felt a happy little surge when I saw your post this morning. I wished you a great warm week all week last week. I am glad you had some great weather, and I hope you found time to relax and hook:O)

[Linda]
