Good Times

I am full of mixed feelings, quite out of kilter. Had such a wonderful week away by the sea, and it's always so hard to leave it all behind and return to my land locked life. I am mostly very happy to be cosy home in the Attic again, but I confess my heart is aching a little. Just a little.

I've been sitting at my desk with a big mug of hot tea, looking through the 275 photos that I took last week. Reliving the days, remembering the good times. Such good times! Such sweet pictures of my three Little People in amongst all the scenery, gosh we did make the very most of every day. We really did. Wonderful.

Would love to share some of it with you, I'm thinking I maybe need to string it across three installments, do you think that would be ok? Can you manage three days of holiday snaps? Just make sure you have a nice place to sit comfortably with a big mug of something yummy to drink when you next pop by to visit, and I'll try not to bore you too much. See you soon...........

I am so excited about my lucky win over at Patchwork Chickens! Thanks so much for letting us know about Tracy's beautiful blog and creations, and for picking my name from the hat! How lucky am I? I am giddy with excitement over here!!

Please Lucy. We love YOUR holiday pics!

[Anna]

I used to come and check your blog while you were away and I was wondering, why you didn't make any new post? Glad to know that the reason was so good! Will be waiting for the full weekend post! Stay happy!

[piggywhistles]

Lucy, you are definitely a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air! I enjoy your website....especially your photos and blogs. You should write a book because you have so much talent. I love reading about your little ones. I had a wee one years ago, but now he is 17 years old and looking forward to college next year. I want to move to Europe (Germany) next year if I can get a U.S. Government job. I have been to England twice and loved it very much. The people are so charming. I have been crocheting and doing other crafts and cannot tell you how much I appreciate your patterns. I am currently unemployed and would love to send you some yarn if you desire. What else would you like? I can send it to you next month. I want to show my appreciation for your beautiful website. I love learning anything to do with crafting. I am widowed and have encouraged my son to be crafty. He loves to draw like his dad did. Do you get on the Facebook website called, The Crochet Crowd? It is free and the people I have talked to and learned from are fantastic! A man named Michael Sellick and his partner, Dan are tremendously talented and fantastic. I have learned so much from Michael and Dan. They are such fun people! Check out the website when you get a chance. I know all of the followers, including me, enjoy the patterns and the friendships. My email is: [email protected]. Feel free to send me an email anytime. You are an inspiration. Thank you. Cindy Kureth

What brilliant blue sky photos! Looking forward to seeing the rest of them when you've had time to catch your breath.

Post-holiday tristesse - I always get it, but it wears off, and I'm sure yours will too. Life's always full of compromises, isn't it?

Children back to school tomorrow, and life returns to it's normal rhythms; Dorset is your get-away-from-it-all place, Yorkshire is real life, and we love to read about it, es, even the every-day stuff.

[Kerstin]

Where have you been? I have been in St Ives for the first time. I am from Sweden and this was my first trip to Cornwall.
Bye bye

[Pam]

It's so nice to see a fellow UK crocheter out there in blogland, and you are from the north too which is even better.

I'm from Manchester and am relatively new to crocheting but I am already deeply in love with it lol! Your site is a fantastic resource and I will definitely be back to read some more as you post. Your zig zag mini Granny blanket is gorgeous - not sure I would have that much patience doing all that joining up :)

[steph]

Can't wait to go to the beach with you!!!!!!!!!!!

[kazzy]

I'm another one who yearns to be back in Bridport/Lyme etc etc! I need my dose of Dorset at least once a year or I don't feel complete :)

[Steph]

Coming home from a lovely break away can be a proper anti-climax can't it. Go on Lucy, treat us to a three day holiday-a-thon that will lift your spririts and ours.

I've just booked us a stay at a fab looking campy/caravan site just outside Bridport for half term www.crabbsbluntshayfarm.co.uk
Your photos will get me just in the mood for a bit of Dorseting.

Looking forward to them already!
Take care
Stephx
