A few days away...

.. were great!!!





When we arrived at the hotel, they told us that they were very sorry - but they'd had to upgrade us to a fourposter room. Now, I was very excited about that - and then a little less excited to see that in fact, yes the bed did have four posts - but no lovely drapes / curtains etc. Still, it was very comfy, but I think I would have felt a little cheated had I deliberately booked such a room.


Still, we ventured into the cold autumn and visited the local National Trust property:



no problem getting in...



I took a lot more photos - but now my card reader thingummybob isn't working. Lots of green lights flashing, but no sign of work.


A bit like I will be tomorrow - back to school after a week off.


A depressing day today - very gray and overcast. The plasterers who came yesterday have very kindly left plaster over every available surface - including the stairs / carpet /door handle - so today has been spent in cleaning up after them.....

BUT

a quick faff about on Google revealed a new quilting product - 'turnovers' - apparently they are 6inch squares cut into triangles........

Hooray

Something to look forward to....
