THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

I'm a lot on the bored side as well CB. At least you should have your plaster off on Tuesday and that's somehting to look forward to.  We are off out for the day on Wednesday.  We're going to Boundary Mill at Colne.  We'll be having fish chips and peas for our lunch first and then a look around the shop.  We want to buy Grace a little present for Easter to go with the white cardigan I've knit for her. We'll have a look around the M & S Outlet and see what they have there.

Oh I'm sure you'll enjoy that Chris, I don't mind going round stores like that, just a couple of them. I hate shopping otherwise.

[bitsnknots]

I'm certain that we will CB.  They have several different stores and departments all under one roof and spread out over two floors.  Must admit though that in places like that I struggle to keep up with my mum.  Considering she's 81 with a serious heart condition she can certainly move.  It will tire her out a bit though.  At least she can have a sleep on the coach coming home.

[captainbovine]

is it the other side of Chorley Chris, used to be a huge place named Botony Bay?

[bitsnknots]

Colne is near Nelson CB.  Botany Bay is still at Chorley but I was told a couple of weeks back that a lot of the units at Botany Bay had closed.  We only went to Botany Bay once and I wasn't overly struck on it.  The owners of Botany Bay own another place in near Chorley called Bygone Times and that's an antiques centre.

[captainbovine]

no scrap that Chris I've just googled the place you are going and it's not the one I thought it was, same thing though.

[captainbovine]

oh do I know Bygone Times!!! when we lived in Southport, we were always in there! I've got loads of stuff from there. It's changed a lot though and it's not as good as it used to be. My friends Parents once had a stall there.

[bitsnknots]

I've never been to Bygone Times.  I'm looking forward to going to Boundary Mill on Wednesday.  We'll be having our lunch at Banny's Fish and Chip Restaurant when we get there.  Their fish, chips and peas are to die for.

[captainbovine]

[bitsnknots]

Afternoon all.  Woke up this morning to a thick air frost.  I took me about five minutes to defrost the car.  The car is now sheltering down the drive so if it gets frosty again, at least it shouldn't take as long to sort it in the morning.  It's warmed up a lot here now.
