T sTands for Tags, This and ThaT

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend, and here's wishing you a good week to come! It's cooled off a lot here, so I was able to do lots of walks and enjoy being outside. This morning was really chilly when I got up,  it felt strange after the months of hot and sticky weather!

On Tuesday (well, actually Monday evening!) we are beginning a new challenge at Tag Tuesday. Our wonderful Wendy is hosting this time, and has chosen a seasonal theme - apples and pears. In Cockney rhyming slang 'apples and pears' means stairs, but I think Wendy is expecting fruit. I made a quick tag as I was out and about so much, using images from the Graphics Fairy on a digital background of skeleton leaves:



Hope to see lots of people joining in again!

Today is also time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday linky party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang.
Recently I accompanied Nathalie to her dentist's which is here in Kaiserswerth on Market Street. The waiting room was a large lounge with a kitchen corner:


Lovely views out of the window:




A priceless coffee machine:


And wonderful coffee, to which we could help ourselves - and I did!


Two of my quick lunches - here a whole wheat sesame roll filled with chicken pastrami, lettuce and cucumbers and some tomatoes and cucumber to accompany it:


This time I used a Dinkel (spelt flour) roll filled with Rambol walnut cream-cheese and accompanied by pointy red peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes -delicious!


And of course, there were lots of coffees taken out and about:




And a very delicious lamb and veggie  hot-pot which Nelya made - served with red wine and water:


 As you can see, it was very tasty:


Some pics taken in Düsseldorf:






A huge rusty nail for Elizabeth:


Photos of the evening sky when I walked home over the bridge after visiting Nelya:









I had to walk fast to get home before the rain started!

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend post

Hi Everybody!
Have a great weekend!

I have a mixed media  A4 journal page to share today. I used another piece of my African napkin, I still have 2 pieces so can make more. The background was gessoed, sponged with left-over colours and then scribbled over with some Gelatos.  The words were stenciled, the leaves die-cut, and I sewed it all to some backing paper. The golden honeycomb pattern was a rub on.






I am linking to Soma's 'wandering camera' and to More Mixed Media, anything goes with optional brown.

And I have some photos from my Thursday evening walk:









And from my walk yesterday morning - signs of autumn are showing:








Lovely skies this morning.




Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
