Gone AWOL.....

I played hookey yesterday......down to the coast to visit the remains of a Roman villa, meet up with friends for a pub lunch and then for a long walk by the sea, picking shells. 

It was heavenly....one of us couldn't quite believe their luck, and didn't even mind having their socks used as shell bags!

I didn't touch yarn or needles at all for 24 hours, and while there is a tiny frisson of guilt right at the back of my brain, I feel the break was much needed.  All work and no play....etc., etc....
