8th February

Well where did last week go?  

It was a particularly busy week.  I went to a friend Monday evening, Tuesday was Dentist in the morning and met Heather for coffee.  When I got home later that morning I prepared a lunch for Janice and I then we went to a Smocking class.   Something I have always wanted to learn.

Needle Case kit

The lady who took the class prepared a practice piece.
The kit comes with threads pre-gathered fabric and other fabrics to make the case.

Thursday I met Janice again and when to the flower club lunch.  We went to Foxes a hotel in Minehead.  We had Roast Gammon followed by chocolate cake.  A few years ago they did a TV series about Foxes.  Google "The Strangest Hotel" you can see it on YouTube.

And Friday went to Tiverton to Heathcoats.  

Although my son lives in Tiverton I have never actually been..............  

I went with my friend Jane and her friend.  Heathcoats has a history in the town and the National Trust now owns his house.  Built on a hill so he could see and make sure his workers were not late for work!
