The final stage of my photography course - on location on the
River Chelmer
A very warm day indeed but I learnt such a lot
Enjoying learning about new techniques
Very soon after John took me away for a few days to a delightful guest house in Arlington snuggled in the heart of the Sussex Downs
where we had our own little terrace from the French doors
to enjoy a cup of tea and cake
but more often a glass of chilled white wine
where the views were just wonderful
and where I could put my new photographic skills to practice.
This iconic view of the Seven Sisters was something I was on a mission to capture - whew - it was a bit of a walk but well worth it in the end.

This weekend we went to a local VW rally at Battlesbridge, where we met up with the lovely Sandie from Itchifingers who also owns a V-dub. A fabulous afternoon where we spotted some great camper vans and too many to show here. Plus a selection of some vintage and retro goodies to buy.
Well that's a bit of what's been going on - more another time. As I'm not going to have access to any broadband and internet for the next week, added to which there's a summer-load of busy-ness coming up - holidays, trips, family do's etc I've decided to take a short bloggy break. I'm going to miss catching up with you all but I'll be back mid August-ish when I hope to see you all then.
Bye for now xx
Lovely photos, Patricia, hope you enjoy your bloggy break, and look forward to seeing you again in August. Joy x x
ReplyDeleteYour photos are all great!! The photography course was obviously great for you - not that you didn't take good photos before! I hope that you have a good bloggy break and do lots of lovely things. See you in August all refreshed and raring to go no doubt! xx
ReplyDeleteYou went to Battlesbridge! I have been antique fossicking there lots of times, and have quite a few pieces of china brought carefully back to Australia - happy memories, Patricia. The photography course is very appealing, and your photos better than ever. Guest House looks very nice and cosy, but the white cliffs is my pick pic: stunning!! Will miss you, but have a really lovely summer break, and look forward to seeing more wonderful photos. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to stay, you took some great photos.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
Looks as if you have been very busy enjoying your days out and about. What a lovely place to stay! Enjoy your blogging break:)
ReplyDeleteHow nice, Patricia. It's great to see an update from your lovely summer so far. The guest house looks so nice, it must have been very relaxing for you both.
ReplyDeleteYour pics are just fab - glad you've enjoyed your photography course...and all those other lovely trips & outings. Enjoy your summer bloggy break, and see you on FB in between or in August!

I enjoyed seeing you and your husband chilling out, Patricia, as well as the other interesting things you've been doing. Enjoy the rest of the Summer months and see you in August. x
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures, Patricia! It sounds like it was a very good photography course. Sussex looks beautiful, and that view of the Seven Sisters would have been worth walking all day to see. Enjoy your summer, and I'll be looking forward to hearing about it when you get back to blogging in August.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Patricia. The one of the Seven Sisters is breathtaking! Have a lovely summer and see you in August :) xx

ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous Patricia. Looks like you have both been having a whale of a time xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Patricia. Your course has certainly paid off. I love the look of the guest-house - the perfect place to get away from it all. Enjoy your blogging break.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's and I'm very envious of your little break with its wine & cake terrace! Enjoy the summer, see you in August!
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't get enough of the English countryside... and those cliffs!! Oh those cliffs! I want to see them with my own eyes one day. And the vintage campers, seriously... I have to have one :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in England in August, I hope you and I can meet up for a tea!
Much love to you and I Hope you're having a great week!

I'm catching up and oh my goodness that photo of the 7 sisters is amazing! What sort of course have you been doing, if you don't mind me asking. Suzy x
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are very petty – lovely color and form. Summer is a good time to take a rest from blogging and enjoy family, friends and trips. Enjoy yourself!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos you looked like you have had a great time. I love all those vintage bits and bobs and I really would love a VW camper van
