Should we bother with the Continent?

Hmm, it's been well over a month. I bet no-one even reads this anymore, right?

Now going into the horrible damp days of autumn. I much prefer those lovely warm days of autumn when the sky is such a wonderful, unbelievable shade of blue and the sun dosn't feel like it's burning, just warm... er, it could be like that outside, I just havn't ventured out yet.

Will do soon, just to get out. Might walk down the beach and get a bacon & egg roll from North Beach kiosk. Mmm,mmm.

Now, on to title discussion. Mum and I are sorting out where we want to go for our end of year Christmas holiday. Yes, its probably a little late, but we will see! I still would like to go to a Christmas market. Mum said the other night that she would be happy just staying in England, but that's because she's getting older and likes the comfortable and known. So it's 'good' that I'm wanting to explore.

So, to do a Christmas market at the start, or meet up with M at the end? Or both, with a meeting in Paris (which I would absoluuutellly love, I really want to see Paris!)

So I suppose once the tickets are settled, it'll be onto the business of sorting accomodation and where we are actually going in England.

Oh dear, I don't really want to turn this into a travel blog (yet!!!) but that's just it.

Havn't done much crafty stuff lately. Well, been working on a bag for myself (finally!). It's an improvised pattern, as I wanted a sort of 'ver-the-shoulder type bag, not a clutch and I'm working on the strap at the moment. If it doens't work out, I'll just use some fabric. No pictures yet, cos I'm feeling a bit lazy.

Also knocked up a little case for my boss Pat, as she's going on a big Paris, Italy England trip for her long service leave. I took a photo, but it was late at night and the photos sucked, so sorry, can't show. But Pat loved it, also loved the semi-detached handle for fastening on things. I like that big of inventiveness. I think I might knock up a few more, as it only took a night to knit and felt (took two to dry though!).
