Yesterday summer storms rolled in after temperatures of 38°c. (100°f)

This was the view from the road as we raced over to the beach for more pics.

Looks impressive and makes our beach look very tropical,

but not a lot of rain for us compared to other places.

The Patchwork Tea House!

The Patchwork Tea House a

It is with great sadness that I share the news that

The Patchwork Tea House store in Warburton is closing down.

This beautiful shop will be missed by many,

not only for Gary’s wonderful scones and

Marilyn’s generous support and encouragement.

I wish them well in their semi retirement

and look forward to their continued friendship.

While searching for images to use in today’s post I came across this one below

and another suggesting to post some photos of our favourite places around

this great country we live in. Some I have posted before and others are totally new.

Quilts in the Barn

Although it was foggy early, we knew it was going to be a gloriously sunny day.

Just perfect for an excursion to Quilts in the Barn.

This is one of the favorite days that we attend every year and

we are never disappointed. This year the guest quilter is Jo Morton with

The Quilted Crow being the shop in attendance.

There were also many quilts from Linda from Quilts in the Barn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After drooling over the quilts and giving our cards a workout,

we sat outside for coffee and cake. Just a beautiful setting.

 

 

Thank you girls for a very enjoyable day.
