Thursdays walk down Dovedale. Again starting from Alstonefield it was a steep 1 mile walk down to Milldale where the walk along the river started. Over the bridge the walk is along the river past Dove Holes and Ilam Rock, up the limestone steps at Jacobs Ladder where you can see fossils in the steps. Over the Stepping Stones and along the river again to Dovedale car park. It is 3 miles from Milldale to the car park. We decided after a picnic lunch to walk back along Dovedale rather than walk along a road. The last mile uphill back to the caravan at Smithyfields was a challenge and we made it just before the heavens opened. #dovedale #motorhomelife #walk #dovedalesteppingstones #peakdistrict

Fabulous cheetahs in the Masai Mara #cheetah #masaimara

Lions not sleeping but walking in front of our jeep yesterday on the Masai Mara. #masaimara #lion #safari

An early start to the day was rewarded by these beautiful lions. #kenya #samburu #safari #lions #sunrise

This beautiful reedbuck antelope just walked past the jeep. #africananimals #kenya

Watching planes all evening is a lovely way to start a holiday. Kenya here we come.

A few more photos from the great exhibition of creative crafts at @tudorrosepatchwork. The exhibition continues tomorrow and is a lovely day out. Treat yourself to lunch or coffee and cake in the coffee shop, enjoy the exhibition and browse the shop.

It is wonderful to see such beautiful work on display @tudorrosepatchwork So many talented people. As a tutor it is very exciting seeing so many projects completed. The patchwork photo shows some if the pieces from my classes. Many of the embroidery pieces are from @kathleenlaurelsagetextiles courses

Inspired by Diana’s finished quilt I have made a start on mine. Too hot to quilt in the studio so have decamped to the garden. #quilting #blockswap #blockswapwithfriends #bevmayo #bevmayodesigns #patchwork

About

I am a textile artist and tutor based in the East Midlands. I taught City & Guilds courses for many years at Tudor Rose Patchwork near Bedford, and at Bee Crafty near Huntingdon. I specialise in patchwork and quilting and love starting beginners on their creative journey. It is wonderful to see quilters grow in confidence and become accomplished designers, and teachers themselves. I had wonderful tutors during my creative journey, Sherry Gosling ( creative embroidery ) and Barbara Weeks ( patchwork & quilting ) along with many who have generously shared their knowledge with me over the years. This is my opportunity to share my knowledge with you.
