sunny holiday days

They say all good things must come to an end...........and its back to work for me tomorrow! Just as well I like my job! After all the Christmas excitement of having our lovely girls home and the handcrafted xmas gifts it was off to the beach to our lovely wee crib for some R and R! The weather has been exceptional!!! really hot days and the sea felt warm. waves to bodyboard in on!! and a drive to a great beach we hadn't been to before, along with a great cup of tea, thanks to our adventure loving Thermette!  The Library at Riverton is a really good one, so lots of happy reading. Some stitching was achieved and the spinning wheel dusted off!

Today it was back home, the Christmas tree and decorations put away for another year...everything looks so bare ! might have to put some fairy lights up somewhere to keep that holiday feeling going!
