Home again

I'm back home again from my two week South Island Tour.  As you probably know, I took my knitting with me, but hardly touched it.  I didn't want to be knitting in the coach, and after a day sight seeing, plus a big dinner together every night, I was just too tired.  But I did almost finish my Wuthering Heights book, nearly at the end of that.  A good thing too, as I'm off to see the movie very soon, and I wanted to refresh my memory of the convoluted story. 

I was sent a picture of Muffy from the cattery which shows her completely relaxed.  She was grumpy in the mornings, and all lovey dovey later in the afternoons, I was told.  She always did have a mind of her own, I told Carol.  Now home,  Gemma hid away in her tower for a while, she then came looking for a cuddle, and some food.  All is forgiven!

I found a nice quilt shop in Geraldine one day, when we stopped there for lunch  and had a little time to look around.  As usual, I'm often overwhelmed with choice when I enter a new quilt shop.  I did find a panel for a reduced price featuring forest animals, and purchased it to use for a child's donation quilt.

That's all for now, it was a great trip, and I'm happy to be home in my own bed again.  I'll tell you more about the wonderful places and adventures I had shortly.
