Getting away

Having been 'hors de combat' for about 2 months with ME-aggravated whooping cough (yes, you did read that right) I felt I needed and deserved a break.  So I logged on to Lochs and Glens and booked onto a tour of the Highlands for a week at the beginning of this month.  I got back yesterday, feeling relaxed and renewed, and with a slightly new outlook on life!

I saw some beautiful places and met some beautiful people.  I didn't want to leave!

I also got some serious knitting done; I measured my time in garments rather than hours, and I had long enough to churn out an entire jumper for my mother while sitting on the coach!

I managed to wear a little bit of homemade, but not a lot, because the weather and the trips mostly called for jeans and t-shirts.  I finished my Miette skirt from Tilly of Tilly and the Buttons, one of my favourite blogs, and wore it out and about in Fort William, while shopping and eating a pulled pork sandwich!!

I apologise for the gratuitous selfie, as well as for the bad quality, but it really is a lovely skirt!  And very easy to make.

Signing off now, as 5.50 is Pointless Celebrities, and I've been getting withdrawal symptoms from a week without Xander and Richard...

Yours truly,

Sunshine Softly xxx
