'm off on my travels but before I go here is a quick look at Padstow in Cornwall from my last trip out.
Cowslip Workshops
Whilst inCornwall I bought a copy of Cornwall Life where I spotted an advert for a quilt shop called Cowslip Workshops, it looked interesting, was on the way home, so I put it on the list.

Welcome to St Ives
Off to Cornwall
I have been lucky enough to have been asked to review a holiday cottage in Cornwall. I had seen pictures of this newly acquired holiday home and thought it looked beautiful, in reality it is far more lovely. Lower Margate is situated on the edge of Cardinham Woods near Bodmin, it is a grade II listed farmhouse which has a relaxing country feel to it.
A bit of nice on a wet and frustraiting friday
Today I am mostly building a new web site for my quilts, I say today, it has been going on for weeks. The difference with today is that I am determined to get it sorted and will not leave my seat until I have, this may involve loss of hair and lots of not nice words being hurled around, it's a good job I only have my cat Treacle for company.
Nice and Easy Supper
Easter all over
Happy Easter Sunday
Kirsty Elson Designs.
I was very lucky to receive one of Kirsty Elson's driftwood houses for my birthday.

Looking down on the roof's of Rye
A stones throw away from The George in Rye is the Parish Church of St Mary, we visited it mainly because we knew you could climb the bell tower and would get some good views looking down on to the roof's of Rye.
A birthday in Rye
For Christmas me and my husband gave each otherGrouponvouchers for a night each at The George in Rye, We have been lucky enough to stay there before, but at £245 per night its a rare treat, the groupon vouchers allowed us the same style room but for only £99 per night, excellent.
Lewes East Sussex
Who can resist a good quilt shop? The only problem is choosing materials from the huge choice. This quilt shop is in the lovely town of Lewes in East Sussex, it's called The Patchwork Dog and Basket and is located in the Needlemakerswhich is full of lovely things, if you visit Lewes be sure to head straight for it.

Real fish!
Last week I was lying in bed putting in my Waitrose food shopping order (sad I know), Valentine's day was looming and I knew we were going to see Cara Dillon at the Ashcroft arts centre in the evening, so time would be tight for cooking dinner, what should I cook? I don't normally cook, my husband does, but I can. So as I was looking through the Waitrose magazine I noticed a recipe for Sea bream baked with fennel and potato, it looked easy so I decided to put the ingredients in the shopping cart, job done, shopping all sorted.
