Just back from the most fantastic Paperie retreat, Monica Gale knows how to put on a doo! I arrived after a not so good journey,M62on a Friday , what did I expect.. to a lovely old hall called Monk Fryston Hall and the very warmest Yorkshire welcome, the staff were amazing. Between homeade cakes,biscuits, 3 course meals and unlimited sweets I am unlikely to eat again for the next 5,409578 years..

Worth every calorie though...

This is the fab goody bag we recieved full of equipment to keep...yes to keep!

A little tour of the grounds....

Lovely restaurant...

Look what was in my room and no calories!

lots more pics to follow...

NEW CANON 1100D

 I am so lucky to have a new ,second hand Canon 1100D delivered today by the lovely Anne, I was sooo excited when it arrived and its red! one of my fave cols....but technically this is supposed to be the better model but I don't know much!!.......yet...Kirsty Wiseman is doing a workshops for a small group of my buddies so I should be tip top soon.

Anyway this is today.....our lovely Lady C..

 so far this is a good day, she insists on designing her own outfits, which she does well and then was desperate to go a fly a kit down the road....we untangled it for ages then off we went...

 Bored now......
