Nundle, a final wrap up....

Yes I am behind the times, and I know there have been sooooo many Nundle posts, but this should be the end of it from me!!

This was my little bounty of goodies upon arrival - Bag of projects and more, my name tag and my mug.....

Next are my purchases from Kerry's shop.... modest I know,

Then on the day, Leanne signed my Romancing the Road Trip book for me, I won the "Love is" pattern book, I purchased Kerry's Blackberry Jam and Cream, and I have pre-ordered Rosie's new book - can't wait to see what it looks like, and she promised to sign it for us.

This was Leanne's project for the day...... she did it in redwork, but we had the opportunity to pick a different colour and I chose green. Progress since returning from Nundle? Uhmmm....

And Rosie's project on the day was an applique cushion cover. Progress on that? Uhhmmmm.. yes there it is all still in the plastic. I will get it done, but I will change some of the fabrics.....make it more suitable to my home colour scheme.

The road to Nundle.....

Ok, there has naturally been a lot of posts this week about the awesome time had by all in Nundle. So just to make it a little different I thought I would share some photos of the surrounding countryside.

Firstly, this is the exit off the New England Hwy that you DO NOT want to take. Very pretty country side but the road is very rugged! Although I must admit the claim that at this point you are 39kn from Nundle turned out to be very true! Just a long slow 39km!

This shot is the beautiful scenery you find yourself surrounded by if you get onto the wrong road! See every cloud has a silver lining!

The next two shots were taken on my journey OUT of Nundle on the correct road, that brought me back to the New England Hwy north of Tamworth. These are of Chaffey Dam. At 9.30am on the Sunday morning it was soooooo still.

Enjoy.

Good times......

I have borrowed this photo from Chookyblue (with permission) of all us bloggers with Leanne and Rosie at the Girls Day in the Country in Nundle this past weekend.

I have downloaded my photos but I haven't really sorted them. So for the time being this one is the proof I was there!

It was such a great event, and hopefully the first on many. I think I am over the drive home.... all eight and a half hours of it!

To all the new friends that I made, thank you soooooo much for making it so much fun.

let the journey begin....

Well I have had the ticker on my blog for months and although as I write this it is still 3 days till the Girls Day in the Country, my bags are packed and I am leaving home tomorrow.

Quite a drive for me, so I am spending tomorrow night with a friend en route and will arrive in Nundle on Friday. Apart from looking forward to meeting Leanne and Rosie and checking out the projects they have in store for us, I am also looking forward to meeting so many blogging friends.

I know most of you attendees aren't leaving home till Friday, but now is my last chance to wish you all a very safe journey.

Roll on Saturday.....
