Well, I have finally finished The Coat.  In the end I have only lined the sleeves.  It is more comfortable like this as I found the silk lining of the body of the coat made it very slippery.  It's all a learning curve - but the good news is, I do feel that I shall actually wear it!  We have been having glorious weather this week and I have really enjoyed the great outdoors.....I just love living in Sussex by the sea. so here are some of this week's pics.  I shall be taking a break for the rest of this month as we have friends staying this week and then we are off on our Disney Cruise in the Caribbean (with many thanks to my daughter who is treating me, together with two of my grandchildren).  We went on a Disney cruise in the Med 4 years ago and it was absolutely brilliant - utter escapism and extremely good food!
