Blackstone Fantasy Garden

Thank you so much for all the comments. It does my heart good to have such a welcome back. It's been so long I wasn't sure anyone would still be reading! Your good wishes have worked already - Martin got a really nice bit of freelance work today. He's not had any proper work for months so it's fantastic news!

And thank you very much to those people who offered to stitch on my RR. I will probably take someone up on the offer - I stitched eight ladies at the top for the eight of us in the RR and it would be lovely to have eight names instead of seven.

On to photos - today it's a pic of my first big finish for quite a while...
