Madness & A Day At The Races....

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.


Not a lot of  crafting this week because I haven't been in the mood again.....but I have read another book.... 

Which I have forgotten to photograph....but was

The Driver's Seat by Muriel Stark...

So that's now 18 books read towards my 26 in 2019 Goodreads Challenge.....


On Friday we had a day out at the races at Market Rasen....

It was cold and windy but we still had a picnic...


This is what happened to the picnic blanket....they were frozen.

We placed bets and I drank gin.....

Celebrate or commiserate....


As you can see I'm the last of the big spenders....we did have some winners but more losers I'm afraid this time around.



It poured down....


There was a dress under there and I did have a hair do of some description at some point.....

After the picnic and the racing we trekked across the race course for this...

MADNESS






Despite the cold, the wind and the rain we had a fabulous time....


My hair was flat, my make up had run, my dress was plastered to my legs and my shoes were ruined.....

But we laughed, we danced, we sang at the tops of our voices and as my lovely husband said.....

'It was like being at the biggest school disco but everyone was forty years older'....


Suggs...

We had a fabulous day out.....

Not a lot of anything else to report this week....

Hopefully I can get myself together enough to get some crafting done....

I will check in again next Sunday....


Until then have a lovely week.

Keep safe....


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Twickenham Stadium Tour....

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.


No crafting this week because I haven't been in the mood.....but I have done quite a bit of reading.....

I have managed to read three books.....Yes.....3.....books in the last week.

To be honest I'd already started two of them so just had to finish them but that's another three books read towards my 26 in 2019 Goodreads Challenge.....

So that's now 17 books read.




I loved Casting Off....I was lucky enough to win this book in a give away by the lovely Jo Through The Keyhole I have now passed it on to my mum and then she will pass them on to our community library....

I haven't lost any weight recently but then again I haven't put any on either so I am still 10lbs less than I was this time last year.....I'll take that.....!

While we were away in London we went on a tour of Twickenham Stadium, home of my beloved England rugby team. This was a Christmas gift from my daughter's boyfriend....now what a very clever gift!!!!


All the times I have been to Twickenham for a match and I've never realised quite how big this fabulous statue is.....usually your trying to get a turn at getting your photo in front of it without anyone else in the shot......


The Tunnel....


Mr T gracing the Queen's seat....if she were to attend a match......

Goodness the luxury compared to the seats we normally sit in.....


The England dressing room....


Not quite sure about this photo to be honest but I think I was thinking that the next time we are here is in August for an England v Wales friendly match......


So that's it from me this week, hopefully I can get myself together enough to get some crafting done....

I will check in again next Sunday....


Until then have a lovely week.

Keep safe....
