It's been a while since my last post and that's because I have been lucky enough to spend three days in Venice, it was fantastic!!!
I went with my lovely hubby, my closest friend and her hubby, yes you have read that right, a child free weekend!
It was postcard perfect, a photo opportunity around every corner.
We took a boat over to the beautiful islands of Murano and Burano. The colours were breathtaking, a feast for the eyes.
I fell in love with these wonderful glass flowers, this is the sort of gardening I could manage.
I have the travel bug now and began thinking about my next trip whilst on the plane home, Florence, Bruges, Dubrovnik or Marrakesh?? Any recommendations will be gratefully received.
As well as being lucky enough to have a trip to Venice, I was also the lucky winner of Lilies and Daisies giveaway. I received a beautiful bracelet on Thursday morning, just in time for me to take to Venice.
I mentioned in my last post about attending a knit and natter group at my newly discovered wool shop, so I popped in on Thursday morning and loved it. I managed to sit and crochet for two whole hours without any distraction from children or that feeling you get when you sit down and notice the dust sitting on the top of the t.v .
It was so nice to chat to the other lovely ladies, drink coffee and eat cakes, I will definitely be going back this week.
I'm working on some squares at the moment for a cushion as a gift for Christmas, so with two hours uninterrupted crocheting this is how far I have got.
Thank you for the lovely comments about Lucie's hat, you can find the pattern here.
Speak again soon xx

Lucky, lucky you. Venice! I love your photos, they make me more determined to visit when hubby and I do a trip to Europe in two years. Thanks so much for sharing.

Venice looks beautiful! I know I'm a bit late but we went to Florence in May and it was GORGEOUS. Never been to the other places you mentioned but they're all on my list!
