Welcome to my new followers too!
Hubby surprised me by booking a hotel for Valentines Day, which was the day before I attended a workshop in Carnforth at the weekend.
It was pouring with rain most of the day - Storm Dennis was on it's way and we had thought we might get a walk at Sizergh but changed our minds and instead headed for Kendal.
Hubby had a fish finger open sandwich, I had an avocado, pepper and cheese ciabatta. Hubby kindly helped me out with those sweet potato fries! Yes, he was in a face pull frame of mind!!
I am joining Elizabeth for T Stands for Tuesday, our drinks are in the cardboard cups, water...of course!
We went to visit a friend before heading to the hotel.
It was lovely and warm and we forgot about the storm.
Our room had two chairs like this - a comfy place to read my book!
Jo Rice was using Aall and Create Stamps and stencils so you know I was happy! Jo shared so many great techniques which I am going to be using(wait and see!)and is an excellent teacher!
I was so busy(well, OK, busy chatting too) that I forgot to take any photos- part from this of Jo's project...
Here is mine - completed yesterday!
The other day we went for a walk by the river..the island is there ...somewhere!
Thanks for looking, Chrisx
I've heard about that big storm and the flooding. You are lucky as it could be worst (I am guessing from photos I saw on the news) but that is still a whole lot of extra water for sure. Glad you are safe. And how nice that the hubby took you away for the night. That is nice. And the class looks fun as does your projects. very cool Chris. Hoping you have a fantastic T day. And no more rain. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteSo many reports- and varied too- regarding the storms in the UK recently. Glad you were able to enjoy your workshop and special valentine gift with a hotel stay and lovely meals!How relaxed and happy you look. And I know hubby was happy to oblige with a smile so he can get to the eating :):)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking project you have made- I love it Chris.
Lots of high waters but happy it didn't effect your weekend. Happy T day!
I had heard too that Europe was going to have allot of storms and flooding. So glad you were able to go to the workshop anyways and how sweet of your husband to get the hotel room for you both. Your meal looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteHappy T hugs Kathy
I keep telling you that T is a keeper! He always seems so thoughtful. Booking that hotel was wonderful. Glad you were safe from the storm before and while you were at the workshop. It was a great Valentine's Day gift.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I LOVED the rocking pig. Quite unusual and unique, too. I also liked the projects you made. Do you think you will use the organizer?
Those sandwiches looked great. I am SO hungry now. Everything looks good, but it's sad you had to wait so long for your food. I'm surprised they didn't compensate you for the wait. Maybe offer you some coffee after the sandwich or something. Water is the way to go, in my opinion and it looks like you had plenty of food without adding anything else drink wise.
I have to admit, there was a LOT of water and mud where you are. I am glad the water has receded a bit at least.
Thanks for sharing your Valentine gift, your art project, your hotel room, your walk along the river, and your food and water with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.
Love the project from the workshop, and the hotel room looks lovely and cosy. glad you managed to enjoy the weekend despite the storm which still seems to be causing havoc!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time away with a wonderful workshop, and you must have enjoyed it a lot. The rivers and streams look similar here, we've had lots of flooding. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, so sweet of your Hubby!
ReplyDeleteOh, well, rain ain´t that bad?
Oh. Don´t you hate when waiting for your food and then... happened here, too.
That pig!!! I have an Elk. Niece hated him.
Fun pictures of you and your lovely work, but, eeeek, guess I have to call my Brother if there was flooding. Weird weather.
But, still: A happy T-day!
How sweet of your hubby to book a hotel. And it soulds like you have nejoyed it too. I have never had a comfy chair in our hotel room. Pure luxury. (sometimes there is no chair at all, or a little stool by the desk.
ReplyDeleteThe storm and flooding look pretty bad. We read about it in the press, and of course it is different in different places.
You had a great day at the craft course. The finished project is lovely. Is that a real spoon? it looks nice anyway. well done you.
I'm sorry you had to wait so long for your meal at Brews Brothers. It happens sometimes doesn't it.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
What a delightful Valentine Day surprise. The little rocking pig is a cute touch. I like the project. It looks like y'all are having more rain than we are, and I hadn't thought that was possible. The rains have seemed interminable!
ReplyDeleteThat food looks delicious :) Happy T Tuesday!
I love the rocking pig! Wow, what flooding; I hope your home was ok. Your Valentine getaway hotel was lovely. And that looks like a lovely meal, too. I am glad you got to do that and also get to go the workshop. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to celebrate Valentines and your fish finger sandwich look so yummy, especially with the avocado - I must give that a try 😊. Great hotel and workshop too, it looks like you had lots of fun! Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to visit my blog on T-day.
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to see your name pop up.
Your art piece is fantastic. I would love to find someone who would teach things like this. You Tube is fine, but a little lonely and not much fun to take selfies with LOL!
That was so nice of your husband to book a hotel room for Valentine's Day! The food you had looked delicious. I'm sorry to hear it took so long to get it. I never saw a rocking pig, so that was interesting to see. The place looked lovely. There certainly was a lot of water from that rain storm. Happy Belated T-Day!
