Streets I knew so well now seem to have moved, so I can imagine how easy it was to lose your way! Glad you navigated it OK in the end. Every time I journey home is like a new adventure.... but loved reading about your course. Newspaper backgrounds sounds intriguing and the results look great. Sounds a fun weekend until you mentioned the three hour drive... I think you've made a good decision about the future and that comes across in the energy in this post.

Your account had me laughing at the thought of you sailing past the lady going in the opposite direction. I'm glad it didn't turn into 'The Bermuda Triangle' of Bristol.

I always get lost, I have no sense of direction, and even with a sat nav I usually get lost, so much so that I actually build in extra journey time for the inevitable wrong turns.....!

As does the looks of that cake...how I would have loved to sample a slice...with one of those strawberries on the side, to be sure.<br /><br />Thank you for the link to the Open Studios. I've quite enjoyed scrolling through the pages and seeing what a fine variety of artists are taking part. I wish you a very successful OS and so wish that I could visit! Please pass along to Anna my compliments on her titling and printmaking talents.<br /><br />I've had a bit of a summer cold over the past few days, and have that as my excuse for feeling very lazy right now. Can't remember when I last took so many naps.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-8302582393198339592015-07-03T22:27:37.938+01:002015-07-03T22:27:37.938+01:00So pleased you got to all the venues in the end!
