T sTands for Tuesday on Monday!

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend, as I did mine! Yesterday I met up with 2 lovely friends, and we went to the restaurant Rhine Ferry, and were able to sit outside in brilliant sunshine and enjoy good food, with a lovely view of the river, and the ferry going back and forth.

We started our meal with non-alcoholic wheat beer, just the right thing to quench our thirst:


And we each had a fabulous meal, sorry, forgot to take pictures . we were all hungry!

The restaurant filled up more and more - some people come for meals, others just drink a beer or take coffee and cake - there's something for everyone. We were there for 4 hours, and it was great to be able to sit outside in the sunshine for so long:


This was already nearly 6:00 pm, and the sun was still going strong:


A lot of cyclists pedal along by the Rhine and there are lots of pointers to different destinations:



The road at the left leads to the ferry:





If you look at this photo in front of the sunshade on the right, there's a yellow spot - that's one of my friends and the table where we sat for 4 hours!


And of course we had coffee and Black Forrest cherry cake afterwards:



Yummy!

The drinks are my entrance tickets for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday drink party, so here a warm welcome to all who visit here today.

And I have a few funnies / thinkies for you:







Sorry, short post today, it's been a long day and I still need to do a lot before I fall into my bed!

Have a great week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing another hybrid piece for Elle's Books, cats and tea challenge at AJJ. The background is from an old musicbook I have. The bird is my balcony bird again, and I added some digis and photos:

And I have a quick tag for Michele's Silhouettes challenge at Tag Tuesday. 


And some photos from this week, early in the morning:









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

Thursday / Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have a hybrid piece for Elle's fun Books, cats and tea challenge at AJJ. The background is part of a marbled page made in a colour bath using left over paints. The  musical cats are Victorian scraps and the singing cat is a digi- If you look carefully you can see that his paw is resting on some books. And there's tea for the musicians. I hope they all survive the rendering of 'The hills are alive....' sung by the one and only - thank goodness - Screech Cat.



And this is the other half of the monkey business page made during one of my free lessons. I used stencils and stamps on the background:





And this is the whole double page:


Here I was playing. I altered some photos to make them look like paintings, and I think they turned out well:




This old farmhouse is on the street where I live:











And some funnies / thinkies:






I will also be linking to Nicole's FFO and 
Gillena's AFF.

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