  6. Oh reading your post made me so nostalgic. Then I saw your photo of the houseboat and it just made me want to book another UK vacation. Congrats on winning the stamp set and look forward to your new cards

  10. I always love seeing your photos Sue - it looks beautiful there. I'm with you on the washing - I feel as if I've been washing for days and am a bit tempted to put the rest in the bin! (Not really!) I'm envious of the jam - it might've been an effort in the heat but you'll be laughing in the winter. Congratulations on your win and have a lovely weekend. Vx
