Hi Everybody,I am having a wonderful holiday in Wales and the weather has been so kind.
The sun has shone endlessly for us and we have taken advantage to the full.
The first thing I want to share with you is the fact that I have been accepted onto the Spectrum Noir Design Team and I am so excited about this.
The honor and the opportunities that have opened up are amazing ... and I cannot tell you how happy I am.
I have so many ideas that I would like to share with you and I hope you will join me on yet another wonderful journey.
In Wales we have been to visit some wonderful places and everyday we have visited somewhere different.The first day we went to the Slate Museum and watched a slate cutting demonstration.
The man was so quick and the end result was a neat little heart shape.
It is very deep but there is now a Diving School that teaches this skill in the depths of the cold clear waters.
It was so still and peaceful and a very hot day.
This photo is of one of the Operating Theaters and it looks so basic.
And yet the work and the dedication of the surgeons that saved the hurt and injured men was to be commended.
Altogether a fascinating place and steeped in history.
We stopped at this charming little cottage called "The Ugly House"
Nobody knows how long ago it was built or even who built it... but it is far from ugly ... and is in fact a delightful tea room.
The story is that it was erected at a time when all someone had to do was to have smoke coming from a self built chimney stack in a 24 hour period .
And then they could throw an axe in each of four direction and the area that it covered could then be claimed as their land.
Quaint story eh ??
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Hi, I'm so glad you are enjoying my part of the world, who needs to go abroad when we have such wonderful weather. While you are here, try and visit Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey. Beaumaris Gaol and the Courthouse are fascinating and you can get a discounted ticket for both venues, we went there last week and it was amazing and so informative. Love your blog and all the fantastic cards and ideas. Love Carolyn x
