Can you see the beads?
I need to get Bry to vacuum……

I went to see my friend Jill at the Bead Merchant at the weekend for a beading masterclass.
I had a great time with lots of lovely beaders. Here’s what we were learning to make – Spring Bouquet

Here’s a close up of the lovely flowery bits

I had a great weekend. Jill offered to take me out for dinner on Saturday night, and we toured around North Essex through wonderful villages and beautiful countryside. We also saw a huge festival of Morris Dancers in one village – a surreal site that will stay with me for a very long time.
Just in case Bill Bailey is looking in, here’s the Corby Trouser Press that was in my room.

Well, the doc offered to sign me off again, but I said no. At the end of my first week back I am knackered but glad I did it. I definately feel better for doing something usefull with my brain.
A week was enough however, so tomorrow we are off to the Isle of Wight for a week, hurrah!
