Enjoy your break! And thanks for being my first comment. <3 I started following you because your Little Squares Scarf just ran away with my imagination! I adore crochet, and, as soon as I get some decent light (grumble), I hope to share some projects.

Take care!

I have just discovered your Blog & have really enjoyed it.The post about tea in the gardens was so nice to read.My great grandparents had Tea gardens in Bramber West Sussex in the early 1900's & the photo I found shows all the tables set up out on the lawn ready for the day.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work & your love of colour.
