Around a year ago I was lucky enough to be invited to join Brit Bee, after one of the original members was unable to continue into the second year. I joined an amazingly talented group of characters (I hesitate to use the word ‘ladies’ ;o) ) and after we were all able to meet up at FQR last year, we have had several get togethers since with varying numbers of attendees – this last weekend was another one at Susan’s (alas, 5 absentees this time). Susan is a great hostess, especially when it comes to evicting her kids to give you a bed for the night! She’s also rather more efficient with the camera, so I’ve gone round and nicked photos from her and a few others that were there. We’re a sharing bee ;o) *ahem*
We congregated in the kitchen for a while:

Just in case anyone thought that Jude was the sensible one… ;o) |

It was obviously a very serious discussion… |
We ate, drank and were merry:

And we all gathered under a tree (after Ange had escaped), at Jude’s instruction, and half of us ended up looking like we have some facial disfigurement. One might say it was an improvement for some… ;o)

Don’t forget, today is the last day you can enter the Liberty giveaway, it closes at midnight tonight BST!
Looks like you all had a fabulous time!
What Jan said!
So good of you to travel so far to hang out with us bunch of characters.
Looks like a fun bunch of kindred spirits! You're a lucky woman to know so many crafty stitchers!
Ha, characters rather than ladies, hmm, I think you might be right on that for most of the girlies, but don't tell them i said so!!! :o)
How fun! Its good to be surrounded by like-minded ladies – I mean, people 🙂
Looks like a great day!
Yay for great days xxx
I'd hesitate to use the word ladies too and I only know you and Susan! Looks like you guys had a fabulous day full of food , serious and non serious discussion and lots of fun!
Glad you managed to make this one and the sun shone!
ROFL! Very funny! And who on earth ever told you I was the sensible one? Jxo
In my next life I shall be a Brit so I can join this bee.
The lengths you will go for some sunshine!xx
Ange, Trudi and Di do look a bit glum! 😉
Looks like a great fun!:)
So happy to see you guys had a great time!
I've only gotten to meet a couple bee mates in person over the last 2 years, I wish I could meet more. You are so lucky!
Sounds like the ideal weekend!
