Some photos

Busy busy life

Well it's been some months since my last post and disappearance on the blog life.i just got into a pickle with work,stitching and life that I had to take a back seat once again and do what I had to do.

Phill and I just got back from a wonderful month of traveling around the Europe vis the sea. We started in Singapore then flew to Venice Italy. Three weeks on the Med visiting Croatia (Dubrovnik)Greece (Santorini,Naples,Messina,Athens, katakolon  )    Turkey (Izmir,Istanbul )Tunisia (Tunis)Spain ( Barcelona) and France  (Marseilles )  Italy (Venice Bari Genoa)
For the next week we got a train from Genoa to Rome where we spent two nights exploring Rome and all that wonderful town has to offer. We stayed right at the walls of the Vatican City. Then catching a train to Ferrara which is an hour from Venice. Ferrara was just the most lovely little Italian town. Then back up to Venice to catch our flight back to Singapore for a night the back to Sydney. 33 days in all.. It certainly was a great holiday. I've added just a few photos.

Time has flown again

Well we are up to week 17 with the SAL of SDW band sampler.  The church has taken me some time to complete. Well I haven't really finished it but hopefully today I will get it completed. It's lots if fun and meeting the lovely ladies that I'm stitching with it just great.we check in each week which is a great motivator.

Another weekend over and a photo visit to New Zealand

Hello there,
Well another weekend over and another busy time.I have worked flat out since my return and I just wish sometimes time would stop while I smell the flowers.lol.
I havent been able to get any stitching done which makes me sad and mad.But I thought Id put some more photos on.

After leaving Hobart we spent 2 days at sea and then ended up in this Magical place.Milford Sound.NZ.It truely is unbeleiveable . There is snow year round ontop of the mountains.
Just amazing.

The sun did shine as the day went by.

Me play shuffle board on deck..I had to wear my alpca cape as it was freezing..lol

A wild windy me

The Promanade.

There was alot of festival parade down here at night.Our cabin is the window on the right up the top beside the round silver light..

Pig and Whistle English Pub is all the chairs on the left..We spent an hour or two each afternoon there.

One afternoon we were entertained by about 14 ice skaters who preformed the most amazing show for about 45 mins.The ice is about 1 and half inch thick and 28 ft above sea level , it was really amazing

Well there isnt much to show you in my stitching world.I am hoping that this afternoon after I have finished all the housework I will be able to settle down infront of the TV as it is miserable mountain weather outside..So I will post a pic if I was able to do some stitching..

Next post I will add Dunedin Picton and Wellington photos..so stay turned..

tata for now Robyn

 

 

A few more words and photos

I posted last night very late and couldnt work out how to put words together so inbetween cleaning and washing I thought id download more..

From Perth WA we sailed down the Great South Ocean to Adelaide visiting a wonderful little town of Handorf which is a "Must see again" town..We didnt have enought time there so we will fly down there for more exploring one weekend.Lots of liitle craft shops and little boutiques to explore.

From Adelaide we sailed to Melbourne..Well I have been there a few times and and it is unique in it own way as far as big cities go.

From Melbourne we sailed to Hodat in Tasmania which I had never been to before and I feel in love with it.It had everything I want in life , the mountains and bush the water and the very slow and qutie lifestyle. It is ontop of the list for retirement.I just love it.

 

From Hobart we had a couple of days sailing toMilford Sound Dusky Sound and Doubtful Sound on the west coast of New Zealand..

I will add those photos in the next day or two. Sewing is cslling..lol..

Hope you enjoy these photos.
