Hello dear Sue and Gil (Scottie was in Cologne, so I couldn't meet her) and all Cuties who are interested

according to your recommendation we visited the lovely embroidery and quilting and wool shop in the Nottingham area (picture 2 - left: my girl friend Karla, middle: her girl friend Liz who was kind enough to drive us, right: myself).
In the shop we had fun and were recommended to go to Sherwood Forest Craft and Art Center which was sooo
delightful. Maybe you will go there next weekend as they have a Victorian weekend - see pict 4 and 5)

vourite Pub near Lincoln
So hope you liked my pre Christmas impressions in beautiful England - including the cute and friendly Lincoln Cuties! Thank you for taking time to meet me and my (not embroidering so far) friend Karla!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and hope to see you again but definitely Bettina must join - Love and Hugs Maria
