Photo a Day Challenge - 12.2.2017 - Pattern.

So so so lovely to see the actual Jane Austen Quilt in the Austen's old home, so many people I know have made their own 'Jane Austem' quilts.

 Jane Austen's House Museum.  Chawton, Alton. Hampshire.

Photo a Day Challenge - 18.1.2017 - Today,

 Bit late with this post...  Today (really yesterday)  my tennis friends came around for lunch and a catch up, we don't play tennis in this terrible heat.

Then I went to Irene's home for a few hours of catch up and knitting with my Ku-ring-gai Quilter friends, plus Robyn.
I didn't take any photos yesterday it was just too darn hot!!!!!

Photo a Day Challenge - 15.1.2017 - Where I sleep... or should I say... slept!

Burleigh Heads, Queensland... on one of our many many Double Decker Bus Holidays!

This must be about 1984, we camped here for a couple wonderful weeks, just across the road from the beach.  

L to R - Pennie, Briony, David, Tomos, Gwilym sitting on Tony's lap, Nerys, Heather leaning on Nerys and Chris!    (Chris and Tony were young surfie boys from California, enjoying a tour of our Eastern Coast, they sleeping were in a tent beside our Bus.   When Chris and Tony came to Sydney they stayed with us and only last week I heard from Chris' old girlfriend Margie!!)

Oh... and below is where we slept upstairs... about 10 people could sleep up here.


I was going to say that Downstairs was a lot neater than upstairs but....  this photo doesn't say that does it!    Downstairs we had the kitchen and dining room  :-)   and another four beds if needed.

Photo a Day Challenge - 13.1.2017 - People.

Okay now this is totally scary!!    This photo was inside the Christmas Card I received from Margie in California... 

I had to look up who this buffoon was replacing, who the others are and what parties they play for... 

L to R - George Washington (Federalist Party),  Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican Party,  and Theodore Roosevelt (Republican Party) should be here instead of that Trump person  ... Abraham Lincoln (National Union Party)

So Roosevelt and Trump represent the same Political Party... 

What does this represent?     I just checked the internet and there seems to be a Petition saying Trump should be up there!   What Poppycock!!!!!!!
