We managed to escape from hot, stuffy Paris, and are spending a week with my parents in the Straights of Dover (where I'm from). My parents have a little house (previously a farm) there, very near my very dear grandmother's place. Just the perfect place to relax, breathe in lots of fresh air, go for long, long walks, and enjoy the wind coming from the Channel.
Between walks, I revel in a favorite activity of mine here: cross-stitching in my very personal place in the attic, specially set up for my "crafty" activities, with lots of light and a cassette player to listen to audio books. This is happiness... While listening to David Copperfield, I stitched a lot of Purr-Fick... I'll post a pic when there will be only the backstitching left to be done - tomorrow I guess!
After this, I'll be embroidering four blocks that should be the center for a quilt I plan to make for my father's birthday in September. No time for boredom to seep in!

Sounds like you have a little piece of heaven over there! Glad to hear you are having a relaxing time, while the rest of us work away. ;p Can't wait to see your update of Purr-fick! Take care and keep having a great time! - rmayfaire
Thank you Kim! You're right, this place is a little pardise... And the weather has cooled down, so that we are all our normal, efficient selves again ;o) Hugs!!
