I brought a big stash with me which I've collected over the years and buy from the Emmaus shop where Angel Strawbridges goes...haven't seen her yet  :) :)

....and do you know Carillion that Dick Strawbridge is a friend of Wrenkins?

I have forgotten to record this new series, must do that tomorrow.

Morning hernibs, I didn't know that wrenkin knows Dick Strawbridge.
I  love the chateau programmes. I watch all of the repeats also. Love the family, esp the little ones. I admire what they achieve and their amazing energy and talents.
Can't wait for the Christmas special.

I'm off to Emmaus next week to hopefully find 'stuff' for a try-out quilt...going to make the accent quilt squares out of French linen handkerchiefs and small napkins, have been collecting them for a few months but need about another half dozen.  :)

I haven't seen Richard for ages but we do drop emails occasionally. I haven't watched him in the Chateau programme but he certainly hasn't changed much in character since we were teens. (He has maybe put on a pound or two here and there!) :cake:

Welcome @Carillion . I spent several holidays in Brittany with my children when they were younger. I loved it,despite the very long drive to get there:what a great place to live! I’m also just home from a lovely weekend in the borders ( near Hawick).
You’ll find lots of friendly fellow fabric addicts here. :D

A belated welcome from me @Carillion ! I've not been as far as Brittany whenever we've been to France.

A belated welcome from me too! Brittany is lovely. We travel to the Limousin a lot but went to Brittany when the children were young.
