My sister, Stephanie, was here over the weekend. We met up with our other sister Lindsey (I wish we could have spent more time together, but Lindsey had house guests of her own). We sent Eleanor to school in a home-made Viking costume for Viking day. We decorated my house for Christmas, as you can see from the photo. We made olive bread, potato scones, mince pies and curtains. We celebrated Ed's birthday. We ate home-made pizza, lasagne and sourdough pancakes. We drank rather too much red wine, and talked about how to get more visitors to Steph's blog, the teacher in Sudan, Dr Strangelove, and our plans for the garage.It was a good visit. I won't see Stephanie again until 2008, which is a shame.

Nice mantelpiece decorations !
Have you made the mosaic yourself ? I love it, beautiful colours.
Florence
Are you sure she didn't really stay a week or a month! What progress and what fun.
Florence - yes, the mosaic was another project Steph helped me with. There's more information about it here: http://bean-sprouts.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-make-mosaic.html
Petunia's Gardener - it felt like a month, it was certainly nonstop. It's usually like that when Steph comes to stay.
