Home and away....

I have been traveling a lot these last weeks. My first trip was to London with my youngest daugther. We where going to the Knitting and Stitching show at Alexsandras Palace. It was for the first time for both of us....

And the fun started as soon as we where at the Tube when these guys startet to play and sing. 

Early next morning we started towards the show,we where wondering how to get from the Tube to Alexandra Palace,but when we got out on the street we saw this " taxi" . Yes we tok the seat in the front on the top ! 

The show was great, filled with fabric and yarn and everything you could need to play with both. My eyes keep looking at this beautifull window. An idea for som Paper Piecing ?

The winner quilts from the show in Birmingham where in the Galeries ...

Also a winner from Birmingham. 

After spending two days at the show,we started to explore London. First importen stop for a big fan of Dr. Who, the blue call box...

Another big Must Visit : plattform 9 3/4 - both of us big Harry Potter fan...

Then it was time to go to Buckingham Palace.... we made it to the Queens shop too...and there was the most beautifull thimble... sorry to say I need a prince to get it. It was not for my purse.....

We manage to go to the Liberty shop and a lot of other shops too. 

Our last day in London we spend at the Victoria and Albert Museum. I saw this little fellow there. It is a wonder I manage to take some photo there... we went to see -and hear-You Say You Want a Revolution? Exhibition. Wow ..it was a step back to my teenage. All that happend between -66 and -70 The music, the wars,peoples on the moon,Woodstock,Beatles,the Who, Watergate.... I would love to see it once again,the Exhibition I mean. 

At home it looked like this , snow are gone now...as long as it last..

Only home for some days,then of again,this time for France visiting one of my brothers. Lovely summer weather.   This time I travel with my youngest brother,and the two of us tok some trip with train...
