Norfolk break

Last month I joined my daughter and her family for a few days in a caravan at Hopton. I don't really 'do' caravans but it was fun spending time with my lovely family. Fun to wake up and have Barney running in to wake me up! The weather was kind, of course it was a bit windy and overnight it rained but otherwise it was sunny. We made it to the beach, I enjoyed taking some photos, maybe to inspire some future work.





Barney loved the sand



I was amused in the summer when my daughter was at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge with Barney. As she went into a room the woman coming out said hello, you must be Anna's daughter; she(Rhiannon) follows my blog and recognised Barney! Fame at an early age!!

I know it's a while ago, but I loved the Knitting and Stitching Show and bought some fabrics for my next 2 quilts but I'm not allowing myself to start planning them until I've finished the 2 I'm doing now. Hopefully by the end of the year both will be completed! Here are some of my favourite pieces of work.

Ebb Tide by Glenys Grimwood

Liz Holliday's work on contours

Cuckmere Haven by Bridget Barber

and John Allen's Tin Mines

I went by coach with the Letchworth Settlement, a really easy way of getting to Ally Pally. So good to relax on the coach and chat rather than drive myself home.

    A lovely post Anna, lots of inspiration from those Norfolk images I'm sure! I'm not at all surprised Barney was recognised he's gorgeous!

    for a minute there I thought there were Brussels sprouts and new potatoes on the beach! Lovely images.
    Coach to Ally Pally sounds much more civilised than struggling with trains and tube - I noticed the contours piece as well, it reminded me of your prints!

    Lovely images Anna, I especially love the pebbles caught in the grid. Barney is a stunner so I'm not surprised he was recognised - small world isn't it.

    Those pebbles are a fabulous colour Anna. They look just like sprouts... but I realised they couldn't be! Those quilts you chose were obviously selected with an artist's eye. Some could so easily be linocuts and the one by Bridget Barber justs screams 'paint me' I think. A brilliant abstract image and choice of colour. I must try and see more of her work if I can find it online. She uses my sort of imagery. Thank you!
