Monthly Round Up

 Is all I seem to be managing at the minute! What is that all about?  I seem to have less time now that when I worked full time!! 

But....  I have completed the Scrappy Ladder to the Stars quilt top

 AND... I spent nearly as much time piecing the leftovers to make the backing

 Now that is ready to layer up and begin the quilting.  Soon I hope....

This months Mini Mania Challenge topic was "Circles"  I made a mad dash at the last minute to make something and that is now done and revealed over on Flickr

Lines are a bit wobbly but - hey! its done!

and in situ

 We had a lovely day in London at the beginning of the month and met up with No1 son and family at the London Aquarium. A bit of a Birthday treat for Grandson and a last outing before school commences for Granddaughter

 We certainly did our 10K steps that day !

 The folowwing week saw us back in the city and a long overdue visit to Kew Gardens

 Afternoon Tea was included in our gifted ticket

 And we finished off on the Tree Top walk (on the windiest day of the year!)

 But it was worth the fabulous views.

 And then off to Portugal for a week in the sunshine

say no more

yes - I'm in there somewhere!

 Some fabulous meals in this little village

Now we are off down "sarf" to visit the grandies so we will need another holiday when we return 😂

Well, that didn't take long did it?
