beautiful scenery, crochet retreat, farmland, France, scenic, Sue Culligan

On a Monday I can still remember the fun I had over the weekend, Wednesday is the middle of the work week, on Thursday I start getting hopeful and on a Friday I can taste the weekend. But what about a Tuesday? It’s so…. just there. Weekend memories are too far away and the upcoming weekend might as well be a year away.

What we need is a bit of colourful inspiration to get us going on a Tuesday, don’t you think? A pretty picture, beautiful scenery or colourful imagery. Yup, that’ll liven up Tuesdays and turn it into a terrific day!

From now on I will go through my photos and Pinterest likes every Tuesday and find us a pretty picture to add colour and joy to the day.

These are a few of the beautifill things I’ve been surrounded by at Sue Culligan’s crochet and knitting retreat. Her studio is my absolute favourite spot, followed a close second to the view from my bed. Please excuse the short bit of writing. I don’t have much time to write as breakfast is being served in 10 minutes and then we are off to Cologne. Oh the life of a crocheter on holiday in France!

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

We spent our Bank Holiday weekend explore the Gowar Peninsula and Pembrokeshire coast of Wales. We had lovely weather, albeit a bit windy on Saturday, not-so-great drizzly weather on Sunday (but we still went to Tenby anyway) and on the Bank Holiday Monday it was raining from the moment we woke up. Our 4 hour journey home, took 6.5 hours – that’s 6.5 hours of driving in non-stop rain. Days like these I’m so glad John and I are snap happy. We can forget about the tiresome driving home and look back at the pretty pictures we captured. I can of course share them with you too and they make for excellent Terrific Tuesday fodder!

We will definitely be returning to Wales – where else do you see sheep grazing on steep beach cliffs, or cows grazing on farmland overlooking a sandy beach? It’s a beautiful part of the world and definitely worth exploring further. Even if it’s only for Welsh lamb loin chops bbq’ed on a portable bbq next to the campervan – which is what happened shortly after this bit of camsite-crocheting.

Ivan The Campervan wanted to hit the road again, so we drove down him down to Hastings on Saturday to spend the day parked on Galley Hill and stayed the night at the Battle Normanhust Court camp site. We are really getting into the swing of Camping Things. Our second weekend away with Ivan was easier and even more enjoyable than the first.

These are images from our perfect morning walk on Sunday along the camp site’s “dog walk” route. That morning walk was the highlight of our weekend. At one point John and I just stood still and looked out at the farmland, appreciating the calm, the blue skies and the green fields. Though there weren’t any traffic noise or people, it wasn’t actually quiet. We heard a constant buzz of bees, the crunch of our feet on the dry earth, rustle of the wind in the trees and the grasses – two completely different sounds – and bellow of the cows: soothing sounds, not noise. We stopped to appreciate the wild flowers and John rescued a butterfly caught in a spider’s web. Appreciating nature and being part of it, is why we started camping. We even made a farmyard friend along the way. John fed our new cow friend, which we named Steak, elderflowers. Friends for life I tell you.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.
