OK gentle deskers, here’s another post created on my phone. We’re on our way home from the airport and because it’s nighttime there are so many road closures that it could actually take us longer from plane to house than it did to get from hotel in Mallorca to car park at Gatport Airwick. Argh.
Oh well. For the first time in seven years. I didn’t add a single stitch to my travel embroidery. You know, the one I always show you. In my slightly improved, fitter shape, we are doing much less sitting about than I remember on previous holidays. Consequently he’s less bored and on the evenings I’m too tired to do much but erm, sit about and watch the world go by. Which is a legitimate hobby, by the way!
We’ve dived and snorkelled the crystal clear waters and eaten simple food that tasted like every happy memory you’ve ever had.
We walked ancient city walls and visited bustling markets where we wanted to buy all the oddly shaped peppers and huge tomatoes to bring home and live on. It’s been great, with a healthy dose of bad photos, mosquito bites and rough Sangria to keep it all real!
As you’ve been holding the fort and showing the things I could have been making, please keep going. Non phone blogging will resume!
Oh heck, saw this when I was on my phone (in the bathroom) and linked from there only to find it was a mobile link so added a second PC friendly one, that will teach me! Everything is so different on the phone isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, looks and sounds like a good time was had on holibobs, bit of a pickle about the roadwork on the way home though. Hugs BJ#01 and 02 at the moment!! Oops
Oh my,Julia! You’ve got such a way with words! Your words add another dimension to each picture! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a perfect holiday. Wonderful that you actually enjoyed doing activities this time. Snorkeling? Sounds fun. You took some great photos on your phone, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry it will take so long to get home. Sometimes that happens and can be so frustrating. At least you aren't just starting your trip and worrying about making it to the check in on time. I look for the glass more than half full these days!
I almost didn't play because my camera is in the shop for repair. I was supposed to know something today (Tuesday), but the guy hadn't even looked at it. Hopefully, I'll know something tomorrow.
What a lovely holiday it looks. The roadwork maybe made the travelling less fun but you can’t complain about the rest! Watermelon oh the veranda? Snokleing in a clear blue sea? Sangria?! Bliss.
ReplyDeleteHappy Woyww, here, there and everywhere!

That looks like a great break Julia. Hope you make it home safely. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #6
ReplyDeleteArgh to travel/journeys ruining things (see my day out yesterday) but hope you are home by now and tucked up in bed (and not already doing holiday washing) The holiday sounds great fun though. I'll be back later to visit desks. Helen #8
ReplyDeleteHope that journey wasn't too stressful after such a good break away. I love the thought of those weird shaped tomatoes etc - they always taste better don't they! x x
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your holiday has been a good one...hoping the journey home was bearable and you're now safelt tucked up in bed.

Goood morning Julia, hope you both got home safely ❤️ and it didn't take too long! Your holiday sounds blissful, your joy coming through in your words 💛 the photo with your watermelon 🍉 boats ... I love it, just look at that sea 🌊 🥰💙 and you snorkelled, whoot whoot 🤸 so happy for you both... treasured memories created! Sending much love and hugs Tracy #12 xxx
ReplyDeleteP.S
I'm so sorry I didn't get around all the desks last week 😔 but I'm looking forward to catching up today 🥰 xxx
Glad you had a great break, sounds like you had a lovely time. Re the journey back, it took longer for us to drive to Gatwick than it did to fly to Canada, never doing that again. Hope the washing pile isn’t too high.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous holiday and ironically you say about wanting to bring home the tomatoes-that is on my blog post!

Sounds as if the holiday was just what you needed.Lots of sunshine and fun is what everyone needs to set them up for winter. Sorry I said that word but it will be with us before we know. In the meantime sort those photos and relive every moment.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet 16 xx
Sounds as if you had a great holiday Julia. That water looks so inviting and the sky a beautiful blue. Shame about the road closures on the way home, hope it didn’t add too much time to your trip. Happy WOYWW. Angela #4
ReplyDeleteSounds like your holiday was very enjoyable . . .
ReplyDeleteBack to the grindstone now I'm afraid, all that crafting to catch up with!
Have a good week, don't work too hard

Glad you had a good holiday, Julia. I just adore the phrase ‘eaten simple food that tasted like every happy memory you’ve ever had’. That’s the essence of a good holiday for me. I thought the watermelon were earrings at first! I hope your journey home was ok.
ReplyDeleteTake care and happy WOYWW
Hugs
