Weekend Away in Wales

Yes - we had a second weekend in Wales. This time it was to watch the final round of the World Rally events. Below are a few pictures from the weekend, including a landscape image which may resurface as an emboirdery !

Landscape on on the final stage in Sunday... This is before the RAIN settled in the for the afternoon. Then the wind blew in and closed both the Severn Bridges for a while. Lucky for us the newer bridge opened by 6pm so we coudl get home with out taking the LONG route !

This Citron really shows the amount of mud, water and gravel on the forest commission roads.

Petta running in the Millenium Stadium on Saturday evening.

And Marcus - who won the whole event - on Saturday evening too !

Mr Hollywood - aka Petta- This is as close as my poor camera could do. We were up in the first bank of seats in the Stadium. The lower level were empty for safty reasons.

Had Monday off. Went into London anyway. First stop was the beading shop in Covent Garden to pick-up materials for a broach plus a few other bits and pieces. DH is off for the weekend to a Train exhibition with his club's layout. So I have from Friday lunch time to Snuday evening to myself. So LOTS of stitching planned. Want to make a few of the fairy/angel/art dolls. Need to start to put a materials list together for the guild day school and making one will help me plan the day. Promised one to the community centre for their xmas raffle and hope to create one for a friend. Picked up a pattern of "Wild Dolls" off the web (http://www.wildartdolls.com/dolls/dangerous-women.htm) ... Looks fun. Going to try making one or two. These could be good gifts too.

Watched Nigella's new series last night. DH and I felt HUNGRY even though we had already had tea. What is better is that all the recipes are on-line. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/christmas/nigella_index.shtml
