Holiday Impressions - Day 3

We moved on towards Devon and on our way visited a famous landmark called Durdle Door.

And again we had to climb a steep hill... enough climbing now :)

Arriving at our destination we were surprised by the beauty of the bed and breakfast we are stying in. Tidwell Manor is a real manor house in Regency style, beautiful decorated rooms where you feel like royalty. I can strongly recommend this wonderful place with the beautiful garden and friendly owners.



Holiday Impressions - Day 2

It is going too quick to my liking... I guess that's why they say " time flies while youre having fun".

To get to our hotel we have to climb a steep hill.. and I mean STEEP! I'm sure I already lost 5 kg and you could say this holiday is a healty one. We are lucky there is wifi ... not sure about the other places we go but I will try to post whenever I can and share some piccies :)

Anyway we visited Corfe Castle, transporting ourselves with the local steam train run by volunteers. At Corfe Castle we saw a midieval market with many fun things to see and do for young and old. Amazing that they started building this castle in 1068.

After a walk on the beach and an excellent meal we ended the day watching a (very noisy) heavy metal band playing at the pier. All in all another great day!

Rain or no rain... there is nothing more relaxing than an early morning sea breeze.

Amazing mural... looks so real

Hoping for some sunshine!

Lovely gift

Remember the mail art I created... I sent one of the envelopes to Monique in The Netherlands and look what I received from her. Thank you so much Monique for sending me these ATC's, love them all.

Anniversary - 9 years

It is our 9th wedding anniversary today and when I googled for some background information on the year 9 I found that the traditional gift is pottery :) Besides the fact that my husband loves gardening I made him this (last minute) card:

Materials used

Stamp from Crafty Individuals - CI-082

Paper from KaiserCraft - Timeless Collection - Botanical

Other materials are Jute, printout quote and black and kraft card stock

We both are always busy and don't spent much time together but today we have decided to have some quality time, going for a visit on The Dales... rain or no rain.
