Pier Beach at Bridport.The most tranquil place I know. I love walking along the foreshore here or sitting on the rocks looking out to sea! Oh the Serenity!!
This is "The Shed" Holiday Escape of my good friends Rhys, Meredith and Bertie. And this was the venue for a frantic bag making weekend. Can you image, 3 obsessed women all sewing crazily to finish as many bags as possible. I don't think we even had a break for lunch on Sunday, simply nibbled on crackers and a bit of cheese. Madness!! But lots of Fun!!
Merdith and Bertie. Occasionally Bertie was a helpful sewing companion.
Some of our bags. Between the 3 of us we have 12 bags either finished or almost completed. Meredith made the grand total of 5. Susan my new friend and Merediths' neighbour completed 1 (the pretty rainbow bag made from fabric she dyed herself) and has partly finished another. And I completed 3 and have 2 more that need to be lined.

Not really, the poor thing fell over in her garage and broke her wrist. After a quick trip back to the LGH she now has plaster on it from wrist to elbow.
My 3 completed bags. Purple for Alex, Monkeys for Georgia, and Pink and Green for Fiona.
