Firstly, I apologise for the 24 hour silence from me. There has been a problem at the hotel with the internet, but that got sorted out this evening.
Do you think we've got enough "stuff? Well, just in case, we've also got things on the back seat of the car, and my machine had to travel on the floor behind my seat, poor big Brother.
Anyway, we arrived safely, despite the best efforts of a couple of motor bikes on our way. By the time we had taken our bags into the sewing room, and our clothes to our rooms, (yes we did just about find room in the car for a change of clothes and our toothbrushes) it was time for afternoon tea and home made cakes. Then there was time for a little sewing before dinner. The dinner was superb, and the hotel proprietors definitely think that we all need feeding up if the dinner was anything to go by. A little more sewing after dinner and it was time for an early night.
Breakfast was a 3-course meal again. After that Scrappy and I went for a brisk walk along the seafront into the town and wandered around town for a little while. Believe me, we needed to walk off the breakfast, but guess what? When we got back, we found that morning coffee and home made biscuits were laid out waiting for us. We did fit in a little more sewing, before lunch, followed by sewing, afternoon tea, a walk, sewing, dinner, sewing and then the internet was back, so here I am.
So that was yesterday, and today. Tomorrow I'll try and show you what we've been working on.

ReplyDeleteI have never been to a retreat, but it seems that food is a very important part of it. LOL!! Like Sunny said, it is not required to post while enjoying sewing with friends - share when you get home.
ReplyDeleteI've never gone on a quilt retreat, but it looks like you brought enough to keep you busy. Sounds like they're taking good care of you.
ReplyDeleteI've been on a couple of weekends, but mostly self caterring or just eating in the hotel dining room as ordinary guests. Sounds like you are having a good time. enjoy and take care.
