1. The moment that Charlotte was announced as the winner in series four of the Great British Sewing Bee. So close this year, it could have been any one of the three finalists.

2. N0.1 Son treated us to a pub lunch as a belated Father’s Day treat.

3. Being a very rural school, each classroom has its own set of oft-worn wellies stored upside down on racks outside. I thought they made a pleasing picture.

4. Inspired by my cross body bags, a student made her own version. Isn’t it pretty?

5. Woody Bay steam trains – a must, if you have boys and are ever in the Barnstaple area.

6. We bought First Class tickets and travelled in relative luxury compared to the wooden benches in cattle class!

7. The plush buttoned head rests were even adorned with individual cut-work panels, which were lovely.

8. After looking at another b+b, we walked down to the local beach. Just a twelve minute stroll from the building is this secluded bay. Perfect for an evening barbecue for potential guests staying with us on a residential sewing retreat?

9. No.3 Son was straight in the sea.

10. Sunday was Sports Day in our house. Watching two Brits win the men’s single and mixed doubles finals was a nice way to spend the day with visiting tennis-mad family. I laid on a cream tea spread to enjoy, with plenty of strawberries and cream. Well, it was Wimbledon, after all. 

I went to bed and left them watching the Euro football final. I think Portugal may have won?
