It was a total whiteout at top, have picture of being surrounded by cloud, rain and snowfall - it looks as though I have taken a picture of a bit grainy white paper. So disappointed that I couldn't get better up top....hoping son and daughter's pics are better....<br />I think maybe you were nudging me on a bit too much Brenda as I managed to fall quite a few times on the way down lol. <br />I will be doing a blog about my trip along with pictures, hopefully next week....been non stop since I got back. I am still a bit sore and stiff but nothing broken so that's a bonus!<br />Had a marvellous time and I will never forget being up there amongst the clouds and the going on to look down on them before the bad weather surrounded us. Hugs again to you both xxxxxEmma Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056896325074249077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-1776384906971462172015-06-03T12:05:32.604+01:002015-06-03T12:05:32.604+01:00Hi Dot...Thank you very much for the compliment. ...Hi Dot...Thank you very much for the compliment.

I met him once, years ago, when I was nursing his manager's mother in a private hospital in London - lovely chap...those were the days.

So looking forward to grandbabies so I can do it all again. I'm glad you can spend some time with Grace and as you know it's the quality not the quantity of time spent together. <br /><br />I can't believe that you've been on create and craft since 2009, I always watched and rang Mum to remind her too, then we rang each other afterwards, we were always amazed with your beautiful pieces of art and marvelled at your finished pictures that you conjured up with a brayer, torn paper and stamps. Never in a million years did I imagine that I would be a member of your design team, it's a funny old world isn't it Barbara, much love xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495181295321719690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-56145801170789508712015-06-01T10:28:34.246+01:002015-06-01T10:28:34.246+01:00Hi , glad to see you home and enjoying yourself , ...Hi , glad to see you home and enjoying yourself , after a wonderful holiday , looking forward to seeing what you have got in store for us , thumbs up,,,,, Annie ,,xxxxAnnie60https://www.blogger.com/profile/13869443375737647935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-65844678980395613082015-06-01T09:05:43.860+01:002015-06-01T09:05:43.860+01:00Hi Barbara.

I'm not surprised you slept round the clock. So good to see Grace snuggled up on the sofa, I bet your heart was full to bursting on seeing her smiling up at you wasn't it : ) I am looking forward to seeing just what you have up your sleeve on Sunda as I love parchment and know you will be putting a new twist to it : ) Try not to let Wurka and Hollick out of the case. You will be pushing yourself hard enough without them too! Enjoy your time with Grace.
