Last Monday actually because I got busy the rest of last week and wasn’t able to post. I don’t think Sian will mind? Do you?<\/p>\n

It was a series of ‘firsts for me’ kind of weekend.
\nThe quote that Deb at Paper Turtle<\/a> used on her blog post on Friday 23rd is how I felt before I arrived
\n“Courage is the power of the mind to overcome fear.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.<\/em><\/p>\n

Away on my own, in a hotel, remembering to take my key, finding my way around, constantly arriving for meals, on time, arriving for class, on time, remembering door codes kind of weekend.
\nIt was learning a new skill, trying to stay awake during the last session of the day (8.30 – 9.30pm!) kind of weekend.
\nA weekend with a bunch of lovely men & women keen to share their knowledge and love of whatever skills they had.
\nA cold but dry and bright weekend. A weekend with my camera.
\nIt was an e-mail sharing kind of weekend.
\nA tea (in a china cup and saucer) and cake taken in the library kind of weekend.
\nWonderful meals at regular intervals with the most taxing decision being, to choose what to eat.<\/p>\n

I loved it, I loved being away on my own.
\nI missed my dog (and husband) but I loved being ‘just me’ I loved the course on bookbinding and the place we were staying and learning.
\nNo picture of me but some pictures from the weekend.<\/p>\n
