Bonjour . . .
I'm back in sunny England after a lovely few days in beautiful Lalinde, on the banks of the Dordogne river, in the Aquitaine region of la belle France.
We chilled,
we chatted,
we read our books,
we went for walks,
we drank some lovely French wine,
we shopped a little bit at the local brocante market,
and we ate yummy cheese, fresh crispy breads and lots of oooh-sooo-delicious croissants for petite dejeuner.
The patisserie around the corner was just so tempting, it would have been pointless to resist.
Oh, and just in case you're wondering about the "Knitting vs Crochet" decision . . .
The crochet project won, and I've made a good start to my Pick 'n Mix cushion cover.
Wishing you a happy, sunny weekend . . .
'til next time,
xoxo

Lovely area of France, we used to go there with the children when they were small. I love that crochet, I tried that pattern but some how went wrong so lost heart.
