Yes, we are back from our fantastic weekend away for Xmas in July and I am still washing! One of the downfalls of a very wet and windy weekend away.
All the families had a great time and it was wonderful to see all the kids (14 of them) together and getting on so well. Some decisions were like trying to co-ordinate the Iraq war but we got there in the end.
On Saturday evening we invaded the camp kitchen at the Mandalay, which is really like a regular kitchen but on a larger scale, and enjoyed a couple of family skits and fantastic meal which we all contributed to. Now usually copious amounts of alcohol is consumed at this annual affair but this year I think we were all in bed by about 10pm. I don’t think some of us could face a hangover and kids wanting to be up early and on the go. There was an indoor pool which was a godsend given the weather was pretty dodgy all weekend. Those that stayed on for Sunday went down to Caves House in the afternoon and enjoyed the open fire and a beverage or two. A long walk was in order so we ventured down the beach experiencing gale force winds!!!! Or at least they felt like it.
We drove home on Monday and it rained ALL the way, lucky we did because the pool was about to overflow.

Back to reality now and I have an album to do for a new client as well as heaps of other bits and pieces to finish off.
Karen from Scrappin' Outback has invited me back to teach at the October retreat in Hyden which I am very much looking forward to, so I need to get some projects together and get organised. October is just around the corner!
Let's just say I have alot to do so I had better get off here and go do it!
Til next time take care.

Hi Sharon,
Was not the best weekend weather wise was it, glad you all had a great time anyway. KWYM about going away but the washing and catch up is definitely not something to look forward to.
Good luck with all your projects on ATM. Take care
