Home again

We had a wonderful time retreating; I'm feeling relaxed and happy so thought it would be nice to share some photos from the weekend.

While it was all sewing, because I live very much inland and don't get out much, I was totally enamoured by the sea views out Whangarei Heads.......

(You'll have to bear with me as I have re-discovered the Panarama setting on my camera so had a real good play with it!)

This is the view from the deck of our home for the weekend.

One of the rules is that we have to hang 'finished' items up as they are done. A good way to do Show and Tell.

Another different look at things.

The girls at work.

I sewed all weekend but haven't too much to share as my bits are all at different
stages. I got a really good start on this baby quilt ♥

Another rule is don't fuss with the food!!
Oh well, rules are made to be broken.

The same group of us head out each year, our numbers were down a little this time but we had a great time - good sewing and plenty of laughs :-)

A little walk down the hill takes us to this private little beach below.
Sunday morning was a beautiful morning although I was in the shadows taking these
photos so not the best. 

Cute little island!

It's great watching life out on the water. Boats of all shapes and sizes.

This ship was fully laden.....

Maybe that's where these logs were heading as I left home on Friday
 morning!

Back home again and a walk in the countryside - here's my normal sort of vista!

Now you all know that what happens on retreat stays on retreat so I'm leaving it there for now :-) Can you tell I had a great time? Loved it!!

...see you next time and happy creating...
