I take a look at these photographs. This is Kuramathi Island in the Maldives, and hubster and I spent a wonderful week there a few years ago.
It was my very first beach holiday and we took a ton of books with us. It was so relaxing, we would
get up, have a lovely breakfast, and then go and sit on our little bit of beach and read.We found this little fellow, just minding his own business, he showed such wonderful colours.
The Indian ocean was incredible, warm, and full of life. This heron stayed with us all morning, wandering up and down the beach, we got very close to him and he really didn't care. For some reason he seemed much friendlier than the herons we got in our garden.
You can ignore the generously proprtioned woman in the photo, she's alot smaller these days. Yes thats me standing outside the wonderful chalet that we occupied on the island. so when I am blue, I think of all the wonderful flowers, the sunshine, the cooling drinks the cute barman made for us. The fabulous ocean, and the tippy toe crabs on the beach. One day I would love to go again, but right now its my dream place.

I have been crocheting again, making embellishments for pillowcases and towels and if i don't get too bored, bed sheets. Will show pics when finished. Here are a couple of bags and other bits I made recently.
These are the inside of the bags, lined with pretty lavender and pansy material.
Thanks for looking, see you all soon.

Hello Rosie - how fab to meet more EC fans! I do love her books and have to say she's a really lovely lady too (I've done a little re-enactment with Elizabteh - well Susan acutally - and she's been an inspiration and great help in my medieval research that I pick up and put down a lot!)
Welcome to Sheffield! I work in Broomhill for a countryside charity but even though I've worked here for 6 years I don't know the city at all. I live near the Staffs/Derbs border which is a hidden bit of the Peak District that I definitley think is the most beautiful! I'm sure you'll discover so many delights here, especially in and around Bakewell (fab Farmer's Market, bookshop and lovely places to eat and shop). Hope you don't miss Cambridge too much, at least you're on the right side of the country to pop back on the train!
Stephx - amazing holiday pictures btw, wow!
