WOW, WOW, WOYWW 260!!!



Well Happy WOYWW 260 to everyone, especially the wonderful Madame Julia who hosts this wonderful event. She never fails to amaze us with her determination not to let us miss a week. Five years she has been our wonderful headmistress supervising this brilliant event. Thanks you so much Julia.
If you are reading this i have managed to get internet access to post, it remains to be seen if I get it consistently to visit as
we are boating in the lovely Northampton countryside, in the rain.

On Tuesday this was my worktop, (dining room table, which has to be cleared for every meal) as I sorted my ATC’s to put in envelopes for those I have already agreed to swap with and decided which ATC to put into which envelope. Mine are all different as I am not sufficiently happy with any one to make it a master to be repeated. I can do a few more swaps if anyone is still interested.  Don't wipe your glasses, the picture is blurred so that those who receive them will get to see them clearly before everyone else.
Well as we are showing our work space on Wednesday, today Foxton flight will be my workspace for at least 2 hours and maybe more as there may be many others wanting to go down the flight.

 Two staircase flights of 5 locks each and we are starting at the top and coming down. Picture was taken from the internet because by the time we get there it will be too late to post.

After that I will do my very best to visit as many other Woywwers as I can, internet permitting and if your leave a comment I will visit you, I promise, although it may not be until the weekend.
Bless you all and have a very Happy Woyww.
Chris

    Morning Chris. Happy 5th WOYWW anniversary!!! Enjoy Foxton Locks today - trust it is drier than yesterday or you will be SOAKED! In the sunshine it is so very lovely there. Good to talk last night. Have a great day - don't work too hard on the 10 locks. Others will quite possibly be around to help out...
    Love n hugs to you both.

    Hi Chris, just read your comment that you will be sending to me. Don't bother looking for my e-mail. I see you have one in your profile, so I'll send you an e-mail instead. I would love to be where you are today. You have a fabulous life on that boat. I've often wondered about them, ever since I first saw them on Morse (the tv show). Have a super day, and a great 5th anniversary. I would never want you to hold up the boat, so I'll let you get back to it.

    You have really thrown me with this boating thing, you are going down but to me it looks like you have to go up, how is that possible? I think I am going to have a melt down, hhhmmmm maybe a drink is in order instead...... LOL

    Love the blurry picture, now that is clever and here I was trying to survive without my glasses. Hope you have a wonderful week which ever way you go.

    Hugs Eliza & Yoda #8

    There really is nothin g to compare to a flight of locks..am always transported to a romantic life on the water..although these days I'm guessing the intermittent wif fi might give a less romantic take on it! Love the blurred picture..you're right, I did blame my glasses!

    Oh my, you'll be shattered at the end of that holiday! Hope you're having fun despite the weather - I bet it's really cosy, snuggling up inside the boat. I'm like you, in that all my atc's are different - fun to do, but they take ages that way, eh?! Hugs, Chris # 15 xx

    Wow! That's so cool! How absolutely lucky you are to be boating in the canals and traversing those fab locks! Whew! I know I need new glasses but really...so glad that blur wasn't my doing. :D Hugs and Happy WOYWW5! Nan G #77 guess I'm now 73 :)

    Dropping by to greet you a happy 5th WOYWW anniversary, Chris! I was fascinated by the picture of foxton flight and I googled it and looked at more pictures. I don't think we even have anything like it over here, even with just one lock! That's what I love about WOYWW, not only desks and new materials and tools and techniques for crafting but all sorts of other things as well!
    Hugs,

    Hi Mrs. D,

    Your photo of boating in the rain looks so peaceful! Who would have thought that getting rained on, in a boat, on a lake would be so peaceful and beautiful!

    I just knew you blurred your photo on purpose! That is probably more difficult than people realize!

    Thank you for visiting me already. I can't believe it's already Sunday and I'm just now getting around.
    Happy belated WOYWW
    Peace, Kay (89)
