My Summer

 No sewing for a month, but some wonderful memories.
                                     
                                                                           London



The Victoria and Albert- The Grace Kelly Exhibit



London Mail


London Bridge


The girls and I at Kensington Palace


A London taxi -much shrieking after we took this picture





Liberty of London- where I purchased only 1 meter of fabric the entire trip.
Good girl Joanne.

The girls at Buckingham Palace



Legally Blonde  at The Savoy Theater


Ireland




Irish Mail



Leprechaun Crossing at The Ring of Kerry


Many of these cute churches and castles on our road trip through severe bends, and very skinny, Irish roads







Did I mention severe bends, skinny roads and everyone exceeds 120 km per hour?



Killarney

A  Mercy Convent several hundred years old. I was educated by Mercy nuns in Sydney.
  For the record, they never showed any mercy.


But I loved them.









Trinity College Dublin

                          Meeting and traveling with my 73 year old mother  through Ireland

                                                         What a wonderful memory.......
                

                                                             See you in September!

  10. You look like you had a great time! I must say, I am a little disappointed in your one metre of Liberty. What will you do with it?
