A very frustrating couple of days!
But I’m still smiling!
I can’t begin to explain the frustrations, nor is it appropriate, but I almost didn’t make Six word Saturday this week. Now that I’m here, I’m simply going to share a few more lovely pieces of glasswork from the National Glass Centre at Sunderland, and make a hasty exit!
I’d love some of these for next year’s tree
And how about these?
They’re just so sweet!
Hard to pick a favourite!
January is now well into its stride, so it’s time to put all that behind me. Join me for next Monday’s walk, won’t you? We can stop off at the National Glass Centre for coffee afterwards.
Hope you all have a good weekend. Hang on to your hats- it’s wild out there! I’m off to check out Cate at Show My Face. She’d love you to play too.

Temps are hovering around 32 Fahrenheit here. Check this [http://tinyurl.com/qyu46fk] out: it doesn’t exactly look like spring hovering around the corner. 😉 I fact, January & February usually are the “most wintry” months around here.

If the brain just had a switch that we could turn off those things and not have them bother us anymore it would be most helpful. Sending hugs across the miles.

Glad you made it Jo! You’re right about it being wild out there! I’ve just driven to Manchester to drop my daughter back at Uni. It was actually a beautiful bright day when we arrived, if a tad windy. But as I drive across to my hotel I was bombarded with hail and sleet! I was going to go for a walk but I’ve retired to the bar instead!
I hope your weekend improves from here on
