Morning all. Less than a month until the big day & things are getting busy. We went to Portsmouth yesterday for the Victorian Christmas and it was fantastic. Made friends with the reindeer, had a mug of mulled wine, tasted all the wines & spirits on the way round and even had a ride on the gallopers. Isn't it amazing how fast they go when you've had a drink! Lots of craft stalls but surprisingly few handmade cards. Has everyone else come to the conclusion there is no longer any money to be made from them. I reckon the country has been swamped with kits so the only people in profit now are the big boys.

We had a wander round HMS Victory while we were there. Highly recommended but if you have a fear of heights/falling as I do be aware that the steps going down are a lot steeper than going up. I caused chaos as I could not get down from the top deck, a panic attack was definitely brewing but the Navy to the rescue. I only asked if there was a quieter way down so I wasn't hassled by everyone behind and the guy let us go down the emergency exit. Still a lot of open steps but no-one else around – until half the British Navy came at us from in front & behind to help. Ohhhh, I do love a uniform!!!!!

Enough of my shenanigans, off now to get the housework down as I've got a crafty open house next week.

Have a great day folks

Sounds like you had loads of fun Anji, specially being accosted by all those men in uniform lol. Friday after Thanksgiving is an absolute mad house in the US, with all the retailers having crazy sales and people behaving like lunatics trying to get the best deals lol. I was just happy to stay at home and relax. Today is going to be a day for finishing all my cards i.e. writing in them and getting the envelopes labeled. It is gorgeous here with the sun shining and decent temps.

Enjoy the rest of your day 

hugs adie
