Terrific Tuesday

Amsterdam, beautiful scenery, Delft, Netherlands, scenic

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.

John, iVan and myself drove to Delft, Netherlands on Thursday for four days of camping. We stayed at DelftseHout, a camp site in a woodland area just 15 minute walk from Delft. Oh how we loved Delft! It’s the smaller, calmer, less touristy cousin of Amsterdam, and just as pretty. I know this because on Friday we took the train to Amsterdam – we definitely prefer Delft. 

A trip to foreign lands won’t be complete without a visit to a local yarn shop …. I bought two balls of Lanas Stop Extra Merino in deep red at Knotten, a beautiful yarn shop Delft.  I’ll be using it to crochet a slouch beanie for my friend. She has a very strong Dutch heritage so it just seemed right to buy the yarn for her hat in the Netherlands.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday, or as you’ll say in Dutch “Ik wenst u een Geweldige Dinsdag.”

view from blackfriars bridge looking towards waterloo bridge

This was my beautiful view on the way to work this morning. The photo was taken from Blackfriars bridge looking towards Waterloo bridge. I just love Autumn mornings. The sky is as blue as it is in Summer, but the light is softer and muted.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

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.

 scotland

The colours of the Scottish coastline are just so incredibly beautiful to me. Purple heather, golden ferns, green fields and a moody greyish blue ocean – it’s a beautiful colour palette just waiting to be brought to life with yarn.

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.
