Sunshine therapy

 Hi everyone, I've been having a little bit of busy doing nothing time! Hubby had to take the car to the garage the other day so I went with him. 

Sadly the reason we went was because someone in our communal car park had knocked part of our wing mirror off. CCTV showed nothing and once again we chalk it up to the joys of living in a retirement apartment where we don't have an alloted space. I wish that the person who did it had owned up - it's going to be an expensive repair.

We did have a treat though on the way back, at Le Petit Paris in Chorlton, Manchester - sitting in the sun eating French pastries. It is only a small Pattiserie and has room for two tables inside. It is clearly going to be the place to go in warm weather.

Trying to get hubby to smile was difficult with the sun in his eyes!

While in Paris it was too cold to sit outside for long so we enjoyed this treat all the more. 

The range of cakes was amazing - I just wanted a croissant(delicious) and hubby had a peanut brownie. We were so impressed we bought two more to eat at home (guess who had high sugar levels the next day?) 

Blueberry religieuse for hubby and mille-feuille for me.

I've been dipping into an online set of lessons from Sketchbook Revival. They are free until the end of April.

...which started off like this

There will be more of theses to come!

They have been easy to do while either sitting on the sofa or out on our balcony.

I did get into my craft room to make a page for Alison(Craftytrog)'s theme 'Play It Again Sam' theme at Art Journal Journey.

I love this John Denver song, so using Aall and Create stamps, Distress Oxide inks and my Dymo printer I made an A6 page.

That's about it for now! Thank you all for your good wishes - I am feeling a lot better, but the cough is still lingering.

Thanks for looking, Chris
