We had a fabby time in Valencia and even managed to escape the bad weather too, - it's a city we visited, a couple of years ago for a day, when we were on a cruise and decided we would love to go back and it didn't disappoint either - we visited Oceangraphic (it's a sealife centre, but the size of 6 football stadiums), hired bikes,(although H can ride a bike without stabilisers, but in a strange place, we felt it was better to leave them), where we went down to the port and cycled round some of the F1 track !!, the Science Museum, the temp was 27-29C, which was nice to get the summer clothes out for one last time this year.
I had the Flu jab on Saturday and have felt rough very since(headaches and joint stiffness), been to see my Kinesiologist today and she has given me something to ease things - mind you i'm not surprised i feel rough when i found out, what they put in it :-(
Before today i have never made a centre stepper card and being inspired by the very talented Sue, thanks hun and decided to use a LOTV image, the paper is : Doodlebug - 'True Love Assortment' (one of the papers out of it), the heart die at the bottom : MB - 'Cherish Border' and the heart die going down is : MB - 'Twirled Heart' and i've used 'The Hobby House' 8mm White Heart Pearls, the ribbon is from 'The Ribbon Girls'.
