What else we did at Easter

IMG_4688

Phone a friend, of course!  One of the lovely aspects of this Easter was that Lisa was able to renew a friendship from her very earliest years.

This exquisitely folded book, made by Joanne, is a lasting memento of their meeting.  It fits so well in Lisa’s beautiful, artistic home, with her hand-painted flowers and birds.  There’s always a project at Lisa’s, and after our visit to Butterfly World, she asked for some photos to begin another. That evening we dragged out old photo albums from school days and giggled over the pigtails and pinafore frocks.

The weekend weather was a little unpredictable, and Sunday brought a good soaking in the park, complete with hail stones.  On Monday we opted to spend time in the Museum of Hartlepool, safe from the elements, before a swift stride along the seafront.

Tuesday saw the lovely lady heading home, and me bereft, for a while.  But I have so much joy to look back on.  How about you?

You can join me at Six Word Saturday, if you like.  If not, I’ll see you on Monday, for a rather unusual, industrial walk.

  9. Beautiful post and daughter Lisa! I loved the old and intricate lock! Also can you imagine a waist so small? Perhaps I could 40 years ago 🙂

  10. Isn’t it wonderful spending time with our adult children? We travelled to our daughter’s place last weekend. Spent a lovely afternoon visiting her horse, followed by a delicious dinner with her & her husband.

  13. That is a lovely momento from Joanne to Lisa. Very artistic and one of a kind. Goes well with her furniture. Nice to hear you were dry from the rain. That is a nice display at the museum. The lock looks particularly ancient. Have a good weekend, Jo 🙂

    1. An eclectic mix, as they say, from the museum, Mabel. Just whatever caught my eye. 🙂 Joanne makes those kind of books, in part for a living, and it was the first time I’d seen one. I think they’re brilliant! 🙂 Thanks, darlin- and you!

    1. She’s lovely, isn’t she? If I say so myself. 🙂 🙂 Thanks, sweetheart. (have you heard from Jude? I hesitate to email as I know she’ll be busy but she usually ‘pops up’ somewhere. 🙂 )

    1. So clever, Elaine! There are some more photos on Facebook but I didn’t want to share too much as it’s personal. One is a beautiful owl book, which Joanne displays in a cage! She makes them in part for a living. As I understand it’s all measuring and folding, a bit like origami but with a book. 🙂 🙂
