WOYWW 315, tortoises, vines and a different Dunnett

Hi folks! Sorry I had to miss last week, we were still travelling through Europe. We've now finally arrived home (Thursday). Oh its good to be home! I'm still not completely sorted out and I haven't washed everything, but hey, easy does it.













                       Here is the photo of my desk. No project on the go as yet. (although I should be making a card for the first birthday of one of our grandchildren) Instead you can see two scrapbook albums with page protectors that I bought in the UK. In the foreground is some artwork by Hannah Dunnett, whose work I love.


Work on our house is continuing and we now have window frames in both arches. Hopefully the glazier will put glass in soon.
I've had to stop Postcrossing the two months I was travelling but I'm back in the swing of sending and receiving postcards again. Here is one of the cards I received. I love turtles and tortoises, so I really love this card. 

Today was the first sunny and warm day after a cold spell. I'm sitting in the shade of the vine.  Our neighbour pruned it (the vine) properly at the right time of year and the right position of the moon etc. Look at the abundance of baby grapes growing!

That's it from me today. Hopefully I'll have a more interesting page next time.
Have a great week everyone, 
God bless,
Lisca

  6. Hi Lisca, happy WOYWW. That turtle postcard is just too cute. Love that your building is progressing...I wish ours would hurry up...fabulous arch windows. Growing your own grapes too - the vines do make a lovely shady spot to sit. Have a wonderful week, relax now you're home, cheers RobynO#16

  9. Hi Lisca....it's good to see you safely home from your travels. I really love your arched windows and wow what a lot of grapes.....what do you do with them? Make a good couple of bottles of wine I'm sure ;-)

    1. Mmm, not sure what to do with the grapes. We've never had that many. Wine is so cheap here it might not be worth the hassle to make our own. We'll see....

  12. It's lovely to go travelling but even better to arrive back home, in my opinion! Even though there's mountains of washing etc.......;-)
    Your house is looking good...at least it doesn't matter in your hot climate whether the glazing is in yet. And look at those grapes, you'll be able to make your own wine with that prospective harvest!

  15. So enjoy reading about your travels, and now about your desk at home. Really lovely. And that arch is grand. I'm sure you'll show us when the windows are finished. I'm certain grapes are good for more than wine, depending on the type, of course. Happy WOYWW from # 5.

  18. Pleased to hear you are home safely. I love tortoises too but someone has let some terrapins free into the park lake near where we live and they will eat just about anything including baby ducks. Something has taken the signets the first day they were on the lake but it is thought that it was the Pike that was to blame for that.
    Hope you settle back to normal life again, Angela xXx 26

  19. It's good to hear that you made it home safely and that you had a good time during your tour around Europe. I'm not familiar with Hannah Dunnett, but I sure like the piece of hers that you got. Blessings, my friend!

  20. Nothing like a load of washing to make you feel like you are home. Great pic of the turtles. Have a great weekend settling back into your routine.

  21. Welcome home, I have enjoyed seeing your travels on here. The downside of travel is the unpacking and washing, but what great memories
