But first I've been remiss on reporting about my last English experience. We landed first in Leeds, ware driven around York and stayed in Robin Hoods Bay. This was followed by a stay in the Barton Under Needwork with visits to Birmingham and Bletchley Park and included teaching a master class. Next up we were driven to Worcester where I taught in a garden center and enjoyed Jo's hospitality.
Our final stop we drove to the rendezvous point and were picked up by Jinnie. We wound our way through the country side, arriving in the delightfully charming village of Stow on the Wold where we arrived at a cute little tea shop and bed and breakfast smack in the center within walking distance of restaurants and shops. We had the rest of the afternoon and all day Friday to wander and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Our room was eclectic and serene and for me I easily walked under the mid room beam. Mark had to remember to duck which he did about half the time.
Saturday and Sunday I taught sprockets and duomos romanticos. The village hall was light filled and large and the beaders were very accomplished. Here is a banner they all worked on together.
and a couple of sprockets in progress. I really must get some of that lime green metallic bead!
Speed beader Joan finished this but wasn't totally satisfied and was going to remake it at home.
Both days I was treated to a beautifully prepared and presented lunch by the members. I will never forget Margaret who set a pretty table complete with lace table cloth and napkins and the loveliest lunch of fresh vegetables, and raspberries which came accompanied by a small pitcher of cream. It was truly memorable.
England was my last engagement for 2015. Now I will focus a bit on beading, family, travel and relaxation!
