Good Morning Ladies, 

The journey home began yesterday, we left our holiday home at around 11am,  had one last walk on the beach,  frustratingly it was a gloriously hot sunny day with calm sea, so  we could have had one last swim!  But hey ho! There is always next year,  we decided we will come back here but in early July as Becca said she couldn't bare me to be away so close to her wedding.  Apart from the one year for covid it will be the first time in many years that we have been home for my birthday!                        As sad as it was leaving the beach behind we were blessed with the awesome views of the Pyrenees as we drove to our first stop at Millau.  










It was hard to capture the scale and beauty,  I was clicking away like David Bailey,  mind you the dirty windscreen didn't help!  
We arrived at our Log cabin at around 5pm,  it was raining when we arrived, which was a shame as the views from our room and even our bed were stunning, we could have been in the Alps!   

From our bed . . .


From the patio outside our room....



Ten minutes later the rain had passed.  

We have a long drive today, we have a treat later though as we are staying at the 'Chateau' tonight ! 

Today I am sharing Karen's amazing card, Charlotte needed one last-minute for someone at dancing,  no problem for Karen though,  she created a perfect card in such a short time,  the background looks like a Clarity background paper, not sute if the dancers are from scan&cut or a die cut.  A perfrct personalised birthday card. 
Thank you so much Karen for sharing your card with us.  XXX 

I hope the sun is shining on you all,

Love & hugs 

Sandra

  2. Hi everyone
    A lovely card Karen. Beautiful dancer's die.
    Wow, you do have some wonderful wievs through the journey back home. Have a safe trip back and dig out your cardi before the train, it's raining here and the temp has gone down a lot since you left.
    IBS was playing up this morning but had an appointment at the hospital for an ex ray so had to go out for that. Nothing else has been done today for me.
    Sending wellwishes to anyone who need them and many hugs to you all, take care. Maria xxx

  3. Hello everyone, pouring down with rain ta the moment, also very chilly.

    Karen love your card, especially the background and the die cut dancers.

    Sandra such beautiful pictures of the wonderful scenery as you drive for your next stop, hope the chateau is good.
    As Maria said you will need a cardigan when you get home.

    Haven’t achieved much today, most of the morning taken up sorting out computer problems with Microsoft, hopefully OK now.
    Have a good evening all, Lilian

  4. Hello Sandra and everyone,
    Karen I love your card the background paper works perfectly with your die cuts. I have a pad of those Clarity papers, they are the sort that you look at and stroke, I just love the colour combinations in pad.
    Sandra what beautiful views you have enjoyed on your journey thank you for sharing them with us.
    I hope you have plenty of jumpers to hand as it has turned so cold today and you will find a big temperature change. John is at this moment turning the heating on, for him to say that it’s cold - is almost unheard of!
    Take care everyone, Hugs Brenda xxx
