A week away in Grasmere

Can't believe I have been home a week already.

It was such a lovely and refreshing week, seeing friends, chatting, laughing, eating wonderful food and sewing.

On the Monday I called at Ambleside and the iconic Bridge House was looking good.

This is where we stay and the room on the right is our workroom, with plenty of tables and space and windows on all four corners.

Just a short walk away is Heaton Cooper Art Shop and Gallery.
Perfect for stocking up on essentials.

Tuesday and Wednesday I managed short walks.

Thursday morning was very frosty and cold.

By lunch time the snow was falling and the hills had disappeared into the blizzard.
This is my view from the workroom on one side, more hills on the other.

More hares - progressing slowly, not because I wasn’t working but because they take so long.
A real labour of love.

And I started stitching the dress when my eyes could no longer cope with goldwork.
