Dee Day xxx

Hi there!
Greetings from Bognor Regis!!
Took a day out to go visit my mate Dee Paramour.
It was good to spend time with her, and take in some sunshine.
Here we see Dee larking about.
Check out the bright blue house in the background!
I bet his neighbours were impressed.
The pier at Bognor.
A little unloved? A tad neglected?
Back in the day I bet it was a hive of activity…
Sad that we English let our piers just fall into the sea.
The sky was blue,
the sun was warm,
and there were beautiful pockets of tranquility,
like this one.
We walked for ages, chatting, reminiscing.
Dee told me about her summers as a child,
and I told her about mine. 
It was rather lovely to remember the good old days,
 walking along the front at Bognor.
But it started to get a bit dark over Will’s Mum’s house,
(the bright blue one!)
so we headed back to Dee’s home,
and made an exciting arty joint plan going forward.
It will be Deelightful, 
because anybody who know Dee knows 
she is a top banana Deesigner.
I love her, and I love her work.
More will be revealed….
love & hugs,

  1. Sounds like a lovely day. It is always good to spend some time with a friend. Looking forward to the ' big reveal' , sounds exciting – what can you be planning 🙂
    Does anyone know where the saying 'over Will's mother's' originates? My father was often saying it and as he was from.Lancashire I thought it was a Northern saying but now hearing you use it Barbara, maybe not x

    1. Being from Derbyshire my father in law used to say ' It's black o'er Bill's Motha's' I'd never heard the saying before, so wondered how he expected me to know who Bill was, never mind where his Motha lived! lol Oh the innocence of youth!

    1. Hi Donna,
      Leak found and fixed; carpets and underlay ready for the dump. Heating on. Floorboards drying out. Next job – finding how far water has crept into my craft room next door, needs a good clear out anyway! Many thanks for your concern! I appreciate it! ;~}

  2. Hi Barbara, glad you had a lovely day off with your friend. No sun here today. Hope your joint arty plan doesn't involve needing a whole load more new stash, we'll all be needing to upgrade homes for yet an additional spare room!!! Hope you and Dave have a good weekend, and everyone on here too, love Brenda xx

    1. Morning Brenda was just thinking might jist hae enough crafty stuff noo for a craft room but jist as happy on the dining table.
      Think they two are a lost cause noo heading fir the poor hoose …xx

  3. Hola! What a great way to spend a day. Big fan of Dee. I have spent the day in the museum of art in Barcelona… Going back tomorrow as there is so much to see. Hugs xx

  4. Was a lovely day today glad you were able to make the most of it. Especially spending time with Dee, very talented lady. I watched her at the Open Day, wonderful. What are you plotting now. We have plans to alter our small bedroom so I have more craft space, looks like I might need it. xx

  5. A lovely day to catch up with friends and Bognor looks great. Our nearest pier is Hastings and is much loved and currently being refurbished after the fire. It was a bit touch and go though.
    Look forward to the revelation. Carol

  6. Glad you had a lovely day with Dee and such lovely sunshine, not much sun here today. Waiting to hear the outcome of your crafty discussions too, the plot thickens! x

  7. I haven't heard that expression for ages, my Mum used to say it a lot, when I was a child I used to think she was talking about my uncle Bill's mum! Looking forward to seeing what you two are hatching

  8. Sounds like you had an enjoyable time with Dee, lovely sunshine too. It is a shame that the council's let our piers go into disrepair, should have a fund for them all. Have 3 near us, Clevedon that was restored quite a few years ago, and two at Weston-super-mare, one burnt down and was restored about 8 years ago, the other one is a wreck. Such a shame. Put my order in this morning by the sounds of your plan with Dee may be even more temptation for us all.xx

  9. Morning Barbara great to see you getting a wee break away with your friend she looks like a fun girl as well as being a great crafter can't wait to see what you both have came up with. P.S its black over Dots hoose this morning but its going to be groovi inside….take care ..xx

  10. Hello Barb, so lovely to have a day with a good friend. Great pictures. Dee and you are both incredibly talented ladies, looking forward to seeing what you are bringing us. Have a great day. Bx

  11. Hi Barbara,
    Glad to see you both having fun. Fun is good. Not sure I'll get much crafting done this weekend. Hubby gave me quite a scare on Thursday. I couldn't help thinking of you & Dave as we sat waiting for answers in hospital. This time we've been lucky & got answers within 24 hours thanks to our super nhs. The clots in his lungs will be sorted with medication so for now he's learning to slow down (but not too slow!) & managing the pain. I think our groovi kit will get well used in the next few weeks! I really hope you both get your answers & solutions soon. Hugs from the two of us xxxx

  12. Looks like a lovely day was had 🙂
    Peter had never heard of "over Will's Mum's" and I must admit I thought it was something that my Nan had made up! We grew up with that saying, and it still makes me smile – I can hear both my Nan & Mum saying it…..does anyone have any idea who Will was???
    Have a lovely evening all, Carole xxx

  13. How did I miss this what a lovely day by the sea. How exciting more wonderful creations from our Dee to come cannot wait. Back to making me canvas haven't got geese so see who I can use xxx
