Travelling....part 1

Where do I begin??? Oh the excitement, the fun, the places I went..........and I only did 3 weeks!!!

I returned home last week from my first overseas trip in 25 years (the hard part was leaving hubby at home, next time we'll do it together)!! But I still had the most amazing time, met the most wonderful people and saw spectacular things.

Sunset, up in the sky style

We left on the 2nd May and arrived in Pittsburgh the same day :-) International date line is good for something!! We had ourselves a good nights sleep and picked up our car the next morning for my first drive in the USA ( I volunteered to be driver). Now that was a very interesting experience, driving on the other side of the road, in the OTHER seat!!! But I got the hang of it after a few days. The first stop was in Lockport,

not far from Niagara Falls, where we met a new friend Lynn, Gail met on Lynn on facebook (the patchwork and quilling world is wonderful for things like that) we got to know Lynn a little via Facebook before we actually met face to face!! What a wonderful lady, it was a real pleasure to have spent time with her :-)

Lynn took us to Niagara Falls, both sides, I had a day free of driving, but I learnt new (to me) road rules.

Niagara Falls, what can I say, it's...........breath taking, beautiful, huge, amazing, spectacular etc etc.

Found this gorgeous little sculpture while out on a morning walk in Lockport

Next stop was Lancaster County, photos on that next week.

Till next time

Well, what a successful weekend we had. Gail and I hosted out 3rd Stitched in Time sewing days and we had a ball.

The setting, this simple little country hall in Narre Warren East.

Gail and I ready to go........

The hall comes up a treat when it's all dressed up......

lots of lovely ladies..........

Fabulous help in the kitchen, Thanks Hermi......

Gorgeous projects.......

It was a wonderful weekend, I met lots of new ladies and was reacquainted with some new friends.

Thanks to everyone who attended I hope you had a great day.

Stay tuned, as we are doing all again in October.

In the meantime, I am getting oh so so SO excited, my trip to the US with Gail and Sandra is fast approaching. We leave in 3 weeks, yes, THREE weeks, for a trip to Pennsylvania.

Lots to prepare and things to do.

Till next time

Good Fences #2

This wall/fence sits at the along top of this amazing place, Wave Rock, in Hyden Western Australia, about 310kms (200miles) east of Perth. This wall/fence has 2 purposes, 1. it acts like a funnel to flow the rain water into the dam that services the town of Hyden, 2. stops people falling 15m(50ft) to the base.

In the distance is the Salt Lake (next week)

Walking along the base of Wave Rock. The colours are spectacular, would have loved to have seen it in the rain too!!

It's an amazing place, we spent ages wandering around there.

Busy weekend coming up, hosting and another Stitched in Time day with my friend Gail.

Lots of preparation tomorrow.

Fences

Fences are back, they are now known as "GOOD FENCES", and we now have a new hostess too, Thanks Theresa aka TexWiseGirl over at The Run*A*Round Ranch, its a meme I just love and have really missed, so I'm really pleased that it continues.

I have to say a BIG Thank you to Jan who used to be our wonderful hostess, she has a few life things to deal with, but will still be a bloggin'.

He's my Good Fence to start off the new round.

This is Canal Rocks, in Western Australia, we were there last November. Rugged, but very very beautiful. (I still have to do a post about that trip!!)

(Have a wander over there to see some other amazing fences and/or gates)

Friday

The smoke is still hanging around after the bushfires (not local) on the weekend, making the sunrises beautiful.

Have a lovely day

Friday Fences

Our favorite spot Inverloch, this morning, like the whole week, I have been walking into to town with hubby, early, to beat the heat (we've had temperatures over 40'c/105'F for the last 4 days), past the jetty and.................

past these blokes, who greet us each early morning. Sometimes there are 2, sometimes 5 like today, one of them brings a 'cuppa' and there they chat, about what?? I don't know, but it made me realise that each day they are there, enjoying the "the simple thing". So this morning I asked them if I could take their photo, I explained why, they were more than happy to oblige :-)

And keeping in Fences there is one there too
