Been down and then back!

Been a busy girl again! We had a trip down to Cornwall for the Jubilee to see my parents and Sammie and her boyfriend, Terry,  and the weather was on the whole good. We had rain a couple of times, and it bounced down on the day we drove back here, but mainly it was sunny and warm. It was lovely see the family and we enjoyed it very much.
 I forgot to take my stitching but I had my trusty Kindle of course!
Pete loves a trip on the open top bus, and we did that on the Bank Holiday Monday,
it was spectacular, as always!
 This was taken early evening of that day, St Ives.

 I have not been doing a lot of stitching since my last post, but I can now show a picture of the exchange that I made last month and here it is.
 Today I received the next part of the Dawn of Spring stitchalong, from my friend Mouse, so I am showing where I am up to on the last part, I dont have much more to do, but it will not get finished tonight I think!

I took the opportunity to photograph the honeysuckle in my garden today, since the sun was shining and the rain was holding off!!!
Its looking lovely and it smells soooo sweet, I wish I could add that to the photo for you all! This was a cutting brought from out last home about 10 years ago, and to be honest its done very little until last year when it got about a dozen flowers if that. This year it is covered, really a huge display, I am so pleased with it.

 So whilst I was in the mood I also took a couple of snaps of the flowers in vases in the house as well!

 Well, thats it for tonight, I will pop back on when I have done more on DoS in a day or two.... Happy Stitching!!
