END OF CYCLE TOUR CELEBRATIONS

So, here we are at the end of our cycle tour in the lovely city of Angers where we finished up. We decided to shout ourselves to a drink in a rather 'young' bar before heading off for dinner together. We are all smiles, but you can be sure we were all rather exhausted!! To make matter worse, both Roger and Jayne had rather bad hayfever. Jayne was not happy having to wear her glasses. I do hope she never sees these photo's or I am not going to be very popular. She doesn't like being seen with her glasses on!! Ah, what fun we had.

We then moved on to a delightful restaurant that had been recommended
by the Hotel where we were staying. Angela shouted a bottle of champagne,
which we all enjoyed very much. I had the biggest steak you could
imagine and couldn't eat most of it!!

Here's to good friends and a great tour.

I wonder when the next one will be and where!!!!!! (ONLY JOKING)

LOIRE VALLEY CYCLE TOUR MAY 2010

At last we have some photo's to share with you of our cycling tour we did beginning 25 May. There are many photo's so I have just chosen a few people shots!! It is bringing back many happy memories (especially now that the pain has gone!!!!). I will also upload a heap to Facebook for you to see.


The first day when we set off from Tours, France. All fresh and happy!! Here is Joshua and Jayne ready to peddle out!

Roger and Gaynor showing off their tandem.

Jayne took this photo of us in action!!

Taking a breather by the lake

NOT HAPPY!! We have come to the end of the road and there is no way across apart from a barge which is locked up on the other side of the river!! This caused us quite some angst!!

The boys needed this drink!!

Uncle and nephew enjoying some time together!!

Exhibition and World Knitting Day (12 June)

HOOKS & NEEDLES OPENING EXHIBITION JUNE 2010

Last Wednesday was the Opening Night for our Hooks and Needles Exhibition at Centrepoint in Basel. A few of us gathered on Tuesday to put up our masterpieces with the wonderful inspiration and help of Jane, the Artwall Manager.

Then for me it was home to cook some delicacies for opening night. Here are some pictures of a memorable evening.

I'm just having some problems with uploading photo's and it is VERY frustrating. Bear with me please and you will see quite a few, but I think I am going to have to do them in separate posts. Grrrrrrr!!!!
