Hi Julie, love reading T/Tattle gives me an insight to your life over there. Looking forward to September to meet your lovely children and yourselves after all these years. Your Mum’s beading is brilliant as I keep telling her. She always was my ‘hero’ cause she could do anything she set her mind to and so can you, you have the same’get up and go’about you.Love from Carol (Mum’s cousin)x
Well helloo there,
Tenerife will not know what hit it in September. You two will paint the town red. And yellow and blue and green and all kinds of arty in-between shades with crafty beading and embroidered edges. How come with such a talented family, I can’t draw a bean?
hi Julie, Well you see your talents are in different areas. Look at all the goals you achieved when in Hong Kong and now in sunny Tenerife and look at all the people you have befriended far and wide. If we were all good at the same things life would be boring and all of a sameness. Do you remember the pail of frog spawn you collected and left at my back door!! Well you were still at school. Cee xx
LOL! Ahem. Frog spawn? Me?
Ah! yes I can see you doing that..
Yes frog spawn in a bucket. You and David were staying weekend with me while Mum and Dad were abroad somewhere.
How come I’ve got a blue face with a frown on my message bit.
Cee xx
