Mill Rosie Retreat…..

59_960_450_retreat_1

Friday saw me and my sister Anne heading off for a fabulous weekend behind this famous Red Door……We were spoilt rotten by Sue and Liz and I highly recommend booking yourself in for a fantastic, indulgent, utterly spoil yourself weekend here when you get the chance you will not be disappointed!

We had lots of fun congregating here and out on the balcony, but I’ll warn you that this post is going to be very picture heavy so go make yourself a cuppa and sit back and relax as you scroll through our fantastic weekend via the photo’s I took.

Hi Barb, what a lovely time you all had. Miss our catch-ups on the old forum. I only go in the hexie swap now. Working on the Lord's Prayer stitchery/quilt for Mum for Christmas ( from Jenny of Elefantz blog)I think of you a lot, especially as your Angel doll you made me is perched above my computer on a shelf beside the printer. Hugs, Sandy.
