How can it be Friday already???
This week has gone so fast, mainly because I was excited and busy getting organised for our Anniversary and then the two days we were away just flew !
We had an amazing time, we went to see Charlie & The Chocolate Factory on Wednesday at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, the staff at the theatre were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble, so much so that I am going to write to them to thank them for making the night so special, we ended up with fantastic seats too, the show was incredible, I would recommend it to anyone, but it finishes in January.
We did the Thames River Cruise yesterday, wow we were lucky with the weather, it took about 3 hours altogether from Westminster Bridge to Greenwich, the chap on the boat gave a hilarious commentary, with some bizarre facts,he had a good knowledge of all the pubs though! We finished the afternoon with Afternoon Tea with Prosecco at a Hotel at Marble Arch, it was delightful, the lovely Manager bought us a second glass of bubbly as it was our Anniversary, how kind and thoughtful, it was over way too soon though and we were on the bus home! Mind you there's nothing beats a nice cup of tea and sleeping in your own bed!!
Today's beautiful card was my birthday gift from Lilian along with a beautiful basket of flowers, that really brightened my day.
I love the vintage style of your card Lilian, using the layers of different textures of paper and ephemera gives such depth and dimension to the card, some pretty Pearl Swirls from Creative Expressions along with those pretty flowers give such delicate finishing touches to the card. Thank you so much Lilian, I love it xxxx
Well I think a day of rest is on the cards for me today, so I can conserve some energy for Ally Pally on Saturday, I am so looking forward to meeting up with all of you that are going xxxx
Enjoy your day ladies,
Love and hugs
Sandra

ReplyDeleteWe have a very dark and windy start to the day here.
LILIAN- what a beautiful card you made for Sandra on her birthday. I love everything you have done to create such a masterpiece.
SANDRA- so pleased you had a wonderful time in London and yes a very quiet and restful day for you as I know just how much you enjoy Ally Pally.
I haven't a clue as to what's on my task list for today but I'm sure something will turn up.
Everything is up and running for the day in the Café so come on in, have a seat and rest for a moment taking in those wonderful art boards on the wall.
To all going to Ally Pally this week-end have a really good time and perhaps someone may take a pic if you all manage to meet up. Take care everyone. Hugs are on their way to you all. xxxx
Hi Janet. It is so good seeing you back in the Cafe ☺ I hope the weather brightens up for you, and us, we had a lot of rain which has caused some flooding, thankfully not in our village though.
DeleteI hope today goes well for you, whatever you end up doing. Crafting would be a good idea as it is mostly light work so just what you are allowed to do at the moment ☺x
Hi Janet
DeleteLovely to see you in the cafe today. Terry Lynda's husband usually does the honours for us regarding photos. So I expect Sandra will put one on.
