Morti by the freebies and sales tables
After all those yummy cakes we were spoiled rotten with delish hot food
So well looked after.....
Dolores, who travelled the furthest, all the way from Slovenia!
So many thatched buildings around this beautiful part of England and thanks go to Morti for such wonderful hospitality in hosting Donna and me in her home in this pretty village. It's the first time I've slept under a thatched roof!
No pics of Morti's for security heh, heh! as there would be a queue of people wanting to stay there!
Note the squirrel on the rooftop.
We loved sharing time with these huge furry babes
and I was thrilled to be able to handle this gorgeous Californian Corn Snake.... loved the experience!
Thanks to Donna for driving me there, to Morti and her lovely family, to everyone for all the fun and to Julia and LLJ for organising the day for us, to the guys G3 and G for guiding and welcoming us but just THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for a magic memory!
Dolores taught a lovely saying to Donna and I when we stayed with her......phonetically, as I can't spell it in Slovenian, it is "coochy, moochy,
peay va yoo chi" and it translates as "go home singing" .... (as we all do when we've had a great time) AND WE DID JUST THAT!

Hi jo
It was a pleasure to meet you at the weekend, next time maybe we should have a 'sleepover' in the hall, just like teenagers hee hee.
I loved all the inkyness on your saturday desk, I played it safe with beads, no mess, but watchout next time. I would love to do one of your workshops, where do you teach?

Fabulous photos Honey and well done for all the names and commentary. I hope you don't mind if I borrow some photos, but not unless you say I can though! Not the snake one though!!
Sat nav says 3 1/4 hours from me to Liverpool so I am putting my name on a bed first if I may!! And don't forget Fergus, though he tends to sleep in my bed!!
