On Campervans and Stags

We had a great day out yesterday at the NEC in Birmingham.  It was the Caravan & Motorhome Show.  It never ceases to amaze me how big and bold the enormous RV's (recreational vehicles for the uninitiated!) have become.  How they can be driven around some of the narrower roads is quite beyond me. This one, a double axle giant, has a storage compartment big enough for a couple of bikes.




But this was my favourite....



A lovely VW camper.  It's so sweet! and a lovely sunshine yellow colour, but not mine at this price, I'm afraid...



You can even buy a camper van with an electric engine but they are so very pricey and you don't buy the battery outright, you have to hire it at a cost of £61 per month so it's not a cheap option...



We took some bottled water with us and some snacks and were actually offered (and gratefully accepted) 3 free coffees each throughout the day.  We worked out that we spent 8 hours walking around so no wonder our legs ached by 6pm!  As usual, we came away with some literature and found these in the bottom of the plastic carrier bags....




Now I love a good pen, these free ones should last us a while and the waisted ones are very comfortable to hold.

Christmas Cards

I have made a good start on my cards.  I made this one this morning. The colour in the photo has come out a bit too red as the light was poor but the stag is cut from light brown felt and I stitched his red bow and bell onto him before attaching him to the card with double sided tape and a bit of PVA glue on his legs.  His little bell swings free and jingles.  I think my GS will like him. All elements are from my stash but I reckon the card cost around 30p in materials.  Much cheaper than a bought card.





I know it's a bit late but I'm wondering whether or not to make a Christmas cake this year.  The downside of making one is that I will inevitably eat some, well...ok...a lot!  To bake or not to bake, that is the question...

Does anyone have a recipe containing no calories?? ;-)

Thanks so much for popping in x
