Hi Everybody!
As I sit here writing this post I'm listening to the sound of the rain and the wind in the trees - wonderful. So pleased we have some rain for the parched earth and dried up plants and trees. I'm very much enjoying these cooler, respite days after the harsh heat wave. Yesterday night I went onto my balcony and watched the night sky, and saw not only a lot of stars but a shooting star from the Perseid meteor shower, and made a wish....
On Tuesday we are beginning a new challenge at Tag Tuesday. Our lovely
Wendy chose the theme this time - landmarks. That gives you a lot of choice! My fave landmarks are, of course in London, my home town, so I chose Big Ben for my tag. I stamped onto a scrap of painted paper for the BG, adding some other paper scraps as mats. I did some crazy sewing to hold it all together:
Tuesday is also time for
Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang.
Last weekend, when we visited
Venekoten Lake, we started off with a visit to a lovely little pub/restaurant in the little village of Overhetfeld, near the border to Holland. The pubs and eateries are all strategically placed around the village green, a wonderful place with rows of trees for shadow, and an ancient chapel in the middle. This fun chef welcomed us as we arrived:
We had some breakfast - for G a pot of coffee and some delicious cakes:
I had cappuccino, served with a delicious cookie, but almost forgot to take the photo....
The chapel of St Maria an der Heiden is very tiny, but beautiful:
There are beautiful baroque elements inside:
You have to stand behind the screen to take photos:
This is one of the other pubs around the green, complete with 'horse' waiting in the yard outside:
I have a stamp set from Jane Davenport to give away. I evidently ordered the same set twice! I will send anywhere in the world, so if you would like it, please say so in your comment and I will pick a name out of the hat:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
