Bonjour mes amis!
Just a small post today as it is the weekend
and I am in France with mi amor after all
for the first time....
plus I actually wrote this whole blog last night and
POOF!! It vanished...just like that!
Oh well, what can we do??
I want you to know that I am writing this post with a French accent in my head
so you must read it that way too d'accord? :)
Grateful for
these little heart rocks collected in Wales. The beaches there have the most I've ever seen!
THIS view from the window of our budget hotel the first night here~ the beautiful Chateau de Carcassonne!!
THIS view from our VERY BUDGET "chalet" our last night in Wales...we actually worried it might fall down the hill from the obvious termite damage AND its the first place we've ever stayed where the shower head was missing! But the views...oh my!!
THIS perfect vista through an ancient window at the ruins of Tintagel Castle in Devon to the wild waters outside Merlin's Cave. Some serious magic there!
INSPIRATION from our travels to work in new ways, smaller by necessity, with different tools. This piece is the from an upcoming tutorial in my regular Cloth Paper Scissors column :)
AND MOSTLY GRATEFUL FOR the technology ( that works most of the time!) to be in contact with these two gorgeous girls whenever we like!
SOOOOOOOOO excited for all of us (including Santanas lovely amor Jacob) to be together for my birthday in San Sebastian Spain for a couple of weeks :)))))))

Have a lovely time in France!
I live some 15kms from Carcassonne.
I can recommend kite surfing for 'mi amor' in La Franqui, a seaside resort south of Narbonne, about 90 kms away from Carcassonne.
See itinary below, in English if you please...:

As I am up at dawn walking my 6 dogs (yes I know, crazy dog lady) I am grateful that I am still able to do this task. My gratitude also includes the cool breeze and smell of rain still lingering on the grass. My dogs are all so special and unique and give me the unconditional love and a purpose. Love them!
Enjoy your travels and be safe,
Sally

Right this moment I'm grateful for the love and support of my husband and of the "tribe" of women I have met through my art e-courses. It's amazing how women can encourage one another through sharing their art,their lives and their love.
Having something to look forward to is so wonderful when you're having a bad day and today I am sooo grateful that I can look forward to a trip to Anglesey this weekend. It is my favourite place, so magical and wild. I really hope you felt that too when you visited.
