WOYWW 215

OK! I know I'm late and I'm even showing you a work desk that's not in use!If you visited last week prepare to be amazed! If you didn't I hope you enjoy this rare shot of a tidy desk 'chez moi'!
As you can see I've even put a clean piece of mop up paper under my mats(must sort that little problem out - two mats that is, not the clean paper)Not a lot of crafting going on, we are enjoying a few days away on our own before our grandchildren break up.
I have finished my France travel journal - one page here and I will post the others later if you would like to come back.
The sunsets were taken returning from a concert of the History of British music. 
The  other photos are of patterns made by stained glass windows in some of the churches we visited.
I'm late today with this link to Julia's Stamping Ground as I've been to see the Queen again! We had planned a visit to Kendal yesterday but when we found that the Queen was visiting with Princess Anne we decided to go today instead! Of course it was crowded and as we drove through the pavements were full and we feared we might not get a parking space but there was one waiting for us and in the shade too! The only trouble is, with me being on the short side I really had to strain to see them until their car drove past not far from where I was standing.
Of course the visit included a visit to The Kitten and the Goat to get some lovely supplies from Pandy - amongst them another Tando Creative set - should be fun to use with my granddaughter!
Hope to sit and visit some of you later!
Thanks for looking, Chris

    When I saw the Queen's picture on my Home page (BBC) little did I know one of my fellow deskers would have seen her today! I'm short too and it can be a problem! Often it spoils theatre visits, as I do have to strain to see sometimes. How lovely that you were able to make some purchases today too. I love the patterns made by the stained glass in your journal.

    Glad you got to see the Queen and princess royal. Hope you enjoyed all the day - did you get to Papermill at Burneside? Is it still open to visitors?? Used to be a great place to explore.
    Have a great week.

    Now that's a desk waiting for some lovely projects. I'm sure he (she?) is thinking: "Where is she, who's more important than I am, her faithful desk? A Queen you said? Tss..." :) Lovely France travel journal with beautiful sunsets. Hugs and happy crafting, Wendy #121

    'Been to see the Queen again' made it sound like she's your good friend who you visit with often. :) we feel the need to curtsey but our furry knees are too creaky! Enjoy your mini break :)

    I always love a clean work desk. And this one is certainly a lot cleaner than mine this week.

    I was named for the Queen, but since I live in the States, I fear I'll never see her. So glad for you, though.

    Speaking of short, that's me. I can't see over anyone. School children are often taller than me. So I can empathize.

    I’m not sure how late LATE is, but I’m here to wish you a beLATEd WOYWW from #2.
