Happy Halloween!

tongue out....
 
Then I got cat falling asleep....

The Enchanted Forest

Every year in Pitlochry, Scotland there is an amazing light and sound forest walk created.  I have wanted to go for the last few years but have never been organised enough to buy tickets in time. This year I did and it was so worth it.

The Enchanted Forest has won awards and is only open for a few weeks every year, just closing this past week.  This year's theme was Elements and included an aerial performance as well (that might have helped me get my tickets on time).  All I can say is 'wow' to it as the photos below show...










 
Pitlochry itself is a wee town, quite touristy and I mainly use it as a pit stop on the way North as it's just off the A9.  Lots of little cafes, a few walks and lots of random shops including a small haberdashery shop.
 
Well worth a nosey when you are passing through.

Monday Morning star count

I've finally got back to quilting.  Nothing major but I've added a few blue hexies onto the quilt as below:



 
 
I think I'm going to make it at least 5 across and add another couple of rows on. Then I'll see how it looks.
 
 
Quite nice to get back to though :)

long time, no blog!

Oh dear. I lapsed big style. let's see if I can rejig this thing and start going again.

updates from July to Oct
  • Have not done much sewing :(  too tired but will start again
  • have managed to get 2 papers to a review stage (one accepted)
  • Went to EAAC (aerial convention) and had an amazing time
  • Trapeze and pole are going well and I'm always bruised
  • BF got job
  • exercise has slipped
  • blog has slipped

So, from now on, I have to try blogging more regularly.  I've got a fair bit going on so I can separate it all out - travel (in my dreams), exercise (need to do more), sewing (ditto) and random stuff.

Let's do this!!
