Week 14


First day of my holidays today --- DD's are still at school --- so it was a perfect time to catch up with my dear friend Sandy. We are both so busy we just never seem to get a chance to sit down for a chat! We did this morning --- over coffee!

Off to the beach for a week tomorrow - might try for a photo-a-day while we're down there. Shouldn't be too hard! Camera battery is charging as I type and SD card is clear and ready for lots of pics!
