Mary's Centre

The other morning Jo and I had a walk about the Park and saw rabbits, squirrels and various birds (think there were hawks of some kind soaring above us in the sky).  It was a gorgeous morning so we thoroughly enjoyed our walk although I did get us a bit lost at one time.

Later we picked Carol and Chas up from the house and went over to the Community Centre for a nosey around.

When Chas and I were here last year at this time this building was just a wooden shell, still being constructed. The tower reminded us of the search tower you see in war films and we half expected to see a big beam of light from it.  How nice to see it completed - it looks beautiful now.

Now, if any of you know Carol you won't be surprised by the photograph of her having a swing.  There were no swings in this children's play area so she decided to sit on the climbing ropes and try to swing.  

And, here's Spencer by the pool.  He said it was a bit chilly so he kept his t-shirt on for the photograph.  Most of you will not know Spencer, he goes on holiday with us each time and pops out for a bit of sun now and then.  Carol got quite attached to him and kept having a quick word or two when she saw something new.

Well, by the time this is published we will be at CHA and probably having our first workshop.  The show does not open until tomorrow (Saturday) but there are workshops today.  At 11.30 I am doing "Technique Filled Card Making" with Creative Imagination.  At 3 pm Cool Tools/Hot Techniques with Hero Arts and at 7 pm a Steampunk'd Mixed Media Album with Punky Sprouts.

Watch this space ....
