Landies and life.


First of all today I am Counting my Blessings
Then I will be joining them for T day
 where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post.
I created this digital page  on my laptop that gets packed  when we go away.
What did we ever do without these devices is beyond thinking about.






This past weekend  we have been at a land Rover rally which, for a while was warm and sunny, Next came rain like it never wanted to stop, high winds followed and finally its calm[Monday evening].
Tuesday will bring what it brings and we will be on our way home.
I did get a couple of photos while the sun was shining. This landie is one of the latest additions to the family, belonging to our eldest who towed the caravan for us.

The Rainbow was a sight to see over the field, look close it is a double one.  This was Thursday evening, before other like minded folk arrived.








A little crafting 'me time', when the rain was flowing down and to the joy of the men and women to trial the landrovers  there was a fair bit of mud in places.
You can see I took the easier option and stayed in.


These events are supported by folk from all walks of life, young, old and families,  the friendliness is beyond compare.

I count it a blessing that my family  can meet with like minded  friends  and enjoy being together, It may be months between gatherings,
 but when the folk come together its as if they have never been apart.
There is noise, laughter,  excitement, competition , even pain if a beloved landie crashes out. but most of all everyone has enjoyed life, on the day and stored memories of what they can achieve.

I  will be later in calling in to see you today, but whatever you do today, I hope it is a good one.

  1. It's good to be off having a little fun with other folks. I bet the driving in the mud is a challenge but probably fun too. Love your bird page. I like the quote too. How true. Hope you have a good trip home and a happy T day. Hugs-Erika

  2. Glad you had a great time, it's always good to meet up with likeminded friends. The digital page is gorgeous. The rainbow is fantastic, we had one here, too, but not as lovely as yours. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

  4. You take digital to a new high, Yvonne. I am in love with this blessing, too. You have lots to be thankful for, and friendships with fellow land rover owners is one of them. Thanks for sharing this beautiful journal page with us at Art Journal Journey.

    I thought that double rainbow was fabulous. I was SO impressed with the beauty of where you were and of course, the mud, too (grin).

    I enlarged your cup to see what you are working on. Nary a hint, but the tea certainly looks good. Thanks for taking us with you on this voyage and sharing it with us for T this Tuesday.

  5. Makes me nostalgic as we had a caravan until we moved to Spain, we actually lived in it for 18 months too, I still miss planning holidays and being in my own happy space, hotels just aren’t the same. Looks like great fun

  9. It sounds like a fun group, even if you don't indulge in the land rover adventures. I would be a spectator too. When it rains or the Internet goes down and everyone says, "I'm bored. There's nothing to do" I love that crafters always have something to amuse themselves with ;-)

    Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen

  19. Sounds like you are having a great time. The (double) rainbow is spectacular.
    I do miss our caravan and our campervan. We have no space to store it and we were offered a very good price for it, so we sold. But hotels are not the same thing.
    Your digital page is very sweet. Yes, I always count my blessings.
    Belated Happy T-Day,
    Lisca
