I hope all of you with children are surviving the summer hols, at least the weather has been good this year, i've found it, not too bad - H loves any kind of sport, so he has done a couple days a week at Sport Camps, and on Tuesday we set sail from Dover for 12 nights to cruise round The Baltics, where we will be visiting Helsinki, St Petersburg, Tallin (3 places i have never been to), Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen - although while we are away, we are having DIY SOS done on our bathroom - only difference is, we have to pay for it !!!
Today's image is one i fell in love with and it so reminds me of H and Whisper, (when in reality Whisper wouldn't actually sit on a bench, she'll only sit there if Alan or I have picked her up and she is sitting on our lap), image has been distressed with Salty Ocean and the papers are LOTV 'Country Gent', Sentiment - Inkadinkadoo 'Happy Everything', twine, buttons and charm from stash.
