Welcome to my blog. It's always great reading other people's blogs-looks great fun to do. So, now I've got some time to indulge myself in patchwork and quilting, I thought I'd have a go. So looking forward to meeting new friends and sharing the passion.

About Me

My photo
Following a lifetime spent in teaching, I'm now enjoying the luxury of having time to indulge in a wonderful hobby. I also now have time to visit my son, his wife and baby in US. Time too, for seeing my other son frequently. Keith, my husband is often drystone walling and climbing...so a girl's got to find something to do. Great news, awaiting the birth of twin grand-daughters in early October 2011...more quilts needed! Ireally welcome welcome your comments and interest in my blog. Thank you. P.S. I'm the one on the right!

A Good Afternoon at a Proper Agricultural Show

I did notice that the Agricultural Show had exhibits from all the different animals,  poultry, pets, lots of baking, flower arranging and crafts. BUT there was only one quilt - what a shame. Maybe I should summon up the confidence to enter next year...food for thought! 
I had to photograph the tractor for my Fabulous Virginian grandson

The Champ!

Whilst I've been enjoying myself, Mr. Fixit has been basking in glory. He has won first prize in the Beginners' Class at a local Agricultural Show...what a star! I must point out that his first introduction to dry-stone walling was at the same time and college where I was doing my City and Guilds.
