Going to the races…sooo much fun – on Saturday I had my first outing to the races. My little ones spent the weekend with my parents and their South African cousins whilst hubby and I went to Newbury. Not really big money players, my total winnings for the day £5.50, and approx £25 losses!! But worth every penny.

A really enjoyable day and it has inspired me to 'hunt' out the upcoming dates for point-to-points in Oxfordshire and Surrey, so am pencilling dates for 2013 already!! Plus, got some great new ‘countryside’ ideas for some Shire Craft pieces so please keep watching this space, all the hard work starts in September and I’ll be making up some samples…get out and enjoy the countryside – embrace the rain! xx
