The main reason for my visit was to spend some time with this special lady:
 |
| Nigella, eat your heart out! |
Terri was our 'Nigella' and served up a beautiful Mexican soup. Then followed a particularly inspiring Show & Tell!
It was a real highlight for me getting to spend time with some of my Brit Bee mates (Terri, Ceri, Susan, Hadley, Trudi & Jo) as well as another bloggy mate, Di, and my new friend, Liz.
On Sunday, we left Ceri's cottage in Hastings & Terri introduced me to the historic town of Rye! My, did I fall in love!
Cobbled streets, vintage shops aplenty, and the cutest coffee shop (called Edith's) decked out like Granny's house, complete with real dog called Boo! Can't get more quaint than that!

I've not felt much like writing here since I've been back. It was a truly special time, and it's hard to put into words the roller coaster of emotions that I've travelled these past few days.
I will treasure these memories, and hope that I get the chance to make many more of them, with these truly talented and special people I get to call my friends.
