Thanks Nicole..hope your Holiday was fantastic! glad to see you back :)
Thanks Leah
I wasn't really back - just checking in briefly en route through Fougeres. Back now though! It's a toss up between catching up with work, and catching up with CW. CW wins for now!
LOL.. glad your back and hope your holiday was fantastic!!
It was, thank you! But a sadly glass free zone ...
thats not good :( my love is traveling back to bournemouth next week.. any good glass in bournemouth?
Er - no idea! I would think Brighton, down the coast, might be a better bet - loads of antique shops. I haven't been to Bournemouth in years - It's 90 miles away, which is too far to make the effort when it usually takes more than an hour to travel the 10 miles just to get out of London!
