got bogged down with life for a while
(WAS FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF)
don't now why really as my life is good
any way we have just got back from a amazing holiday
in newfoundland
staying with friends who moved out there two years ago
what a beautiful place and so laid back
we were even lucky enough to see loads of whales
so am now going to knuckle down to some serious crafting
