Hello Everyone, and I hope you are well and enjoying the weekend.
We've had a glorious day here, although cold the sun shone the whole day and the temps were a bit. We took a drive to Rosemarkie, for a walk along the beach, and with a flask of coffee and a few sandwiches we sat and looked out at the sea. Mind you my fingers were frozen by the time I had finished eating, but it fairly lifted the spirits.
And spirits need to be lifted with all the horror of what's happening in Eastern Europe, It's heartbreaking to think of the needless loss of life. Solidarity with Ukraine.
I have a few coloured post cards from Rita Berman's my Walk through Europe, they are so easy to colour whilst watching TV in the evening. They are miniatures of the larger book.
Not sure where this little house is but it's awfully cute with the car sitting on the window sill. It's colours also with gel pens.
Now, my aim with these pretty little cards is to send one to my friend Fiona each week. Her news wasn't good and she needs more surgery, Chemotherapy and more than likely Radiotherapy. So we will have an imaginary trip through Europe, and this week if she is well, we will meet for a coffee, unfortunately not Paris, but our local Costa.......the imagination is a wonderful thing.
So, that's all for now folks, I'm off to have a look at your blogs, before Peaky Blinders, so Keep well and safe and hope to see you soon,

Hi Kate, These are beautiful. Such a great size. What a lovely and thoughtful idea to send them to your friend Fiona. I am sure they will give her comfort each week. Take care, Hugs Flo xx
More beauties, with the Paris cafe and the sweet little house..looks a bit German to me. I'm glad you managed to go for a walk along the beach and had coffee and sandwiches. I always think that being by the sea lifts the spirits, and as you say with all the awful things happening at the moment we certainly need it. So sorry to hear about your friend Fiona but hope that things go well for her. x
I love the smaller versions of the coloring pages, can make cards with them too. Such fun little scenes. Sorry the news is not good for your friend. I am sure that your visits and support mean so much to her and cards made from these little images will be a blessing to her.
Hugs
