Farnham

One of the lovely old buildings in Farnham.


A row of Almhouses - they are so small - reckon there would only be 2 rooms downstairs & maybe one small room upstairs.

Farnham Castle

Part of Franham Castle  - not too much left of the keep but the Bishop's Palace has been in use since 1600's.

The Bishop's Palace - this has been privately owned since 1960's & is used as a Conference Centre & of course, you can get married in style here too.

Petronas Towers


Night time - view from the bar in our hotel.  Open to the fresh air as well - very pleasant way to spend an hour or two.

Inside - shops, shops & more shops!

Day time!

More KL

How else would you choose what doughnut your wanted!
There is an air conditioned walkway from our hotel to different parts of the city - this part was open to the trees.

Kuala Lumpur

The ceiling of the breakfast room - the food was pretty good too.

Off on another adventure

http://www.welshquilts.com/  This link will give you a clue as to where we will be heading over the next 6 weeks.  We leave tonight for Kuala Lumpur on our way to England.  I am extremely fortunate that Kaffe Fassett has decided to hold an exhibition while we are there - at the Welsh Quilt Centre - that is on our/my list for this trip.  The rest of the time will be taken up visiting relatives of HofM & walk the streets his ancestors walked.  We are looking forward to a relatively quiet trip & hopefully get some rest as well.

The little girl is Cecelia, mother of HofM taken around 1913 - how's that 100 yrs ago!

That's it.


Some of the quilts were hung over the rails - in total 79 quilts on display - not bad for a group of 17 ladies.  Everyone displayed something.  If you missed us this year, you will have to wait for a year or 2 before we build up enough steam to do it all again.  Thank you again for everyone who supported us.

Still more


Mary's Quilt - we had an outdoor pergola area that allowed us to hang some of the quilts.
