Brecons...

I love ellipses...

Anyway... we had the best time at the Brecons retreat. What a great group of ladies. I'm not going to single anyone out... except...the kids. We had 3 children at our weekend in Wales, and they were just so lovely. Charlotte and Dan came down from London with their parents, and I spent a whole dinner persuading Charlotte to try food (just try it...put in your mouth, chew 5 times, spit out if necessary) because she is of the 'I'll only eat plain pasta with a bit of cheese' brigade. Great fun! And her little brother was a complete delight and made me cry at the end of the retreat (tsk!). He gave me one of his layouts "because you didn't win anything". So so so sweet. I shall post that layout on here tomorrow.

And then we had 11 year old Bethany who was just so polite and lovely (and loaned me her pens for doodling).

The classes were great. Personally I just loved taking Sue's clipboard class. It was so fun AND I've already used it. Twice! We had a great classroom on the first floor, overlooking 'that view', with huge Georgian sash windows (read "LOADS of light"!). My journaling with chutney class went well too (which is good, as it was the first time I'd taught it). I've received 3 verses of iambic pentameter from ladies who took that class this week, one of which I will again post later cos I luuuurved it. And my other class, 'Glamour Girl', was fun...you've never seen so many people punching 1" circles in all your born days - LOL

Here's a couple of the other classes too. These ickle photos just never do them justice.

I shall also post challenge winners entries later as well (grief, I'm going to be blogging till kindom come at this rate).
