We are in mid March, whatever happened to January and February, seems like I worked my way through those months! Maybe, I was just keeping my head down and not looking at the dreary weather outside.
Been having real troubles with my internet connection since the storms, it's such a stuggle to load a few photos for my blog but bare with and we will get there!
Last week I took a day off and took the train to Edinburgh with my friend Maria to celebrate her Birthday. This is a new railway line just rebuilt and opened in 2015, it's a shame it doesn't come all the way to Hawick or even on to Carlisle, maybe one day? It took around an hour to commute to Edinburgh as opposed to a two hour drive by car. Maria and I walked to and visited The Palace of Holyrood, we did the guided tour then had lunch in their restaurant.
It was dry but grey, we walked back up The Royal Mile and sauntered around The National Museum of Scotland, taking photos as we went, there are lots of staircases and walkways.
We have had a few glorious days, Monday being one of them, Kyle rode up to the hill to meet The Hunt, this was the first time in company for Kyle and Flo.....
My Granddaughter and I had a play day recently and made 'body butter'. Smells glorious, 'sweet orange and patchouli'
Of course a few quilts went home too....here are some with edge to edge quilting....
Lovely bright Kaffe Fassett fabrics....
This lovely Blue and Red Sampler quilt will be the Souter Quilter's (Selkirk) raffle quilt for their quilt show in June.
This Garden Trellis design quilt will be the Law Quilter's raffle quilt for their show later this year.
I'll be back again soon......

From there we walked in the direction of The Castle, we wanted to see the view from the bailey.
