Birthday bunting
RememberDominic's quilt? Well, I thought birthday's may be a little bit more special with some birthday bunting.
The best sort of Gym
Recently I have joined a gym, there are no fees, the views are good and entertainment comes and goes. As yet there has been no testosterone males showing off just how fit they are, no females that have spent 3 hours looking good before they get to the gym, and best of all no sweaty smell perfuming the air.
A quilt for Dominic.
A while ago I posted a blog about a quilt that I made for Gail, today's quilt is for Gail's seven year old son Dominic. Dominic's dad died very suddenly without any goodbyes, so it is important to Dominic to have some good memories all wrapped up in his very own special quilt.

Sam's graduation from Portsmouth University
This is my eldest son Sam, he is 27. I think it is fair to say that he didn't have an easy ride at school. He is mildly Dyslexic and struggled mainly due to a handful of teachers and a poor school that annihilated his confidence.
The Slaughters
On our travels around the Cotswolds we visited Bourton-on-the-water, sorry Bourton but you have been truly ruined, far to many tourist type things of the very worst kind. (enough said). However the twin villages of Upper and lower Slaughter are just a mile away. The name comes from old English 'Slohtre', which has nothing to do with killing things and means, simply, 'Muddy place'. We saw no mud just truly unspoilt beauty. The two villages have remained utterly unchanged for more than a century with no building work taking place at all since 1906.
Fresh Air 2013
Fresh Air 2013 is a sculpture exhibition held every other year in the grounds of Quenington Old Rectory, Quenington, Gloucestershire. The grounds are stunning and provide a great backdrop for the sculptures.

Chastleton House
A rare gem of a jacobean country house, Chastleton House was built between 1607 and 1612 by a prosperous wool merchant as an impressive statement of wealth and power. Owned by the same increasingly impoverished family until 1991, the house remained essentially unchanged for nearly 400 years as the interiors and contents gradually succumbed to the ravages of time.
Broadway
Broadway is one of the most beautiful Cotswold villages, situated at the Gateway to the Cotswolds It has a wide high street lined with horse chestnut trees, contains a mixture of period houses and picturesque honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages which have lured visitors for centuries. The street through Broadway was an ancient 'ridgeway' and and the main road from Worcester to London. It remains a wide street or 'broad way' hence the name.
