The train (er van) arrived back at my house last night
sooo I'm back!!!!!
And was it fun! True I did absolutely no writing, but I don't really mind anymore, I might get 10k done this year but that doesn't matter. Although I had two radical ideas that will greatly change my book - oh well, I'm not sure if I'll use them, we'll see. One of them is changing the setting to some place down south instead of Waipara North Canterbury, but that will include heaps of research.
I got my jacket done in plenty of time, I was sooo glad I wasn't sewing last minute. Although strictly speaking its not finished according to the pattern, but I didn't want to put lace on the cuffs as it looked fine without, so that's all good.
here's a couple of pictures from the trip
this is the tiny little house that we stayed in, it was sooo cute the front part there is the lounge/kitchen, the house had a double bed, a loft with a single bed, a bathroom, and tiny laundry in the hall way. It's meant for three people at the most. We had 9 people there one time, for getting ready and for meals (which we had on the deck) and 6 sleeping over night -and I tell you it was a squish!
the view of Oamaru from the deck
my jacket all finished

I got badly sunburnt that day
So that is a little snippet of what happened, now I'm off to have lunch
