    Stunning Charly, to remember maybe put it with your outfit or bag that you'll be taking with you, i always forget stuff too.

    I'm working on a 60th card for a friend this week and going to do my sisters card too for August, i seem to recall i said i was finished with cards, haha.

     I love the card Nmm. We remembered the sampler! As you suggested we stood it by the cases. Beautiful wedding, we dropped off their present and cards and filled the house with confetti 🎉 in strange places. My friend did that 10 years ago for me and DH. I kept finding it all year! Did make me smile so I hope it reminds them of their lovely day.

    The house with confetti sounds great fun, my friend puts it in every card it gets everywhere, haha.

    Welcome Emma, do you cross stitch or some other craft? 
    This is my first cross-stitch, now I'm working on a much more complicated cross-stitch. :)

    That’s a cute first penguin. I’ve picked up PL Dublin this weekend and made some progress.

    Hi all,
    You will know from FB that we've had to come home for a bit as sister's feet are infected  :s
    Really frustrating for me as I was enjoying the walking and scenery, but I couldn't continue to walk by myself.
    DDad is due open heart surgery on Friday and will be in ICU for a week. Plan is to go visit him (haven't seen him since Oct 2019) and then continue our walk when we get back. Think Cyprus is on the amber list at present, so we need to work out the logistics. I'm just so discombobulated at the moment, being back here with the family when I should be walking the West Highland Way. It's all a bit odd.
    Some great finishes on here and love the PL Dublin start Charly xx
    Hope to get some crafting done whilst I'm waiting for whatever happens next.
    Coxy xx

    Coxy have been so sorry that it hasn’t worked out the way you and your sister planned. I can’t begin to imagine how disappointed and frustrated you both must be.
    I hope you can work on the logistics to get to see your DDad. Everything so blooming complicated ATM! Take care, all will work out and brilliant achievement so far.

    Coxy, i was gutted for you and your sister, but thank you for the lovely photos i grew up in the highlands and you showed me places i'd never seen before :) You will complete the JoGLE, maybe get one of the big footwear companies to sponsor you, free shoes!!! I will message you about travelling as i've just helped a friend visit Bulgaria which was amber.
