Rocking Your World Friday - 11th of 2019

Good morning lovely people, I hope I find you well and that you've had a splendid week, tis Friday which means time for 

So first up was last Saturday when I went with my Mum and sister to join Gemma at the Button Tin in a heritage craft day. 

Gemma has recently become artist in residence at Elsecar and wants to get lots of females involved from the locality and surrounding areas to celebrate the women of Elsecar and Wentworth. 

What this meant in real terms was a fabulous day with lots of women, talking about the locality and hand stitching and we had a fabulous day. 

It was made all the more fabulous by the fact that Gemma took us over to her new studio to have a look and as always it is always a delight. 

She still has all the banners done for the Tour De Yorkshire that went through Elsecar last year, in her space with Yorkshire phrases on them. 

As a textile artist, Gemma always has some hidden treasures to enjoy, this paper mache boat with hand embroidered sails was a particular favourite of mine

The day was actually spent in the upstairs rooms in the visitors centre, which meant walking past some eclectic art that I really liked

The boys in the meantime had a class up in Sheffield that involved some computer software that said 18 year old uses, he said it was really helpful, so Saturday was definitely a win win. 

Sunday and the weather was pretty atrocious again, so it was catching up on six nations rugby and making a simple tea. 

Monday morning we were all awake at 3am as said 18 year old had to be dropped off at college for 4.15pm as he was off to Barceleno

Me and hubby managed some more sleep when he returned. 

And said 18 year old sent us some pictures at the end of his first day.

and somewhere me and hubby have always wanted to go

He had a fabulous time

Tuesday me and hubby went out for a date night tapas and Spanish gin for hubby (homemade lemonade for me)

We had a lovely evening sat chatting and putting the world to rights.

I had a full days training on digital marketing strategy on Wednesday which was interesting but quite mentally stretching if you know what I mean!

Hubby went silversmithing on Wednesday night and I managed a tiny amount of scrapbooking (still on with 2017 and said 18 year old's NCS summer)

Thursday night we were awaiting return of said 18 year old, whose flight had been delayed, so we went for an evening walk for the first time in a while.  It was lovely as not only did we enjoy the walk but we had a good old natter at the same time, which is definitely good for the soul. 

We collected said 18 year old about half six, picked up a simple tea and then headed home to catch up on all his stories of being away. 

Now all I have to do is deal with the washing from his adventures! 

and that my lovely people is that
