Last few Photos!

I meant to show you all the photos in one go yesterday but we had both our Mums for tea last night and they arrived half way through my typing so I had to break off.

So, I'll finish them off today and then it'll be crafting from now on, I promise.

The first one is the view from our hotel window. We didn't have a balcony but our windows opened wide and we had a beautiful view, much better than a lot of people who had paid extra for a balcony so we were very lucky.

This lovely animal is a Marmot and they are wild and live high up in the mountains. On our Glossglockner trip Freya counted 19 and if you were quiet they came very close. They look really cuddly.

Of course, I had to find some flowers and this was someone's garden high above the lake. I just wish I could grow a Brugmansia as good at this one. I just get leaves and no flowers. How they manage to keep them through the winter is a complete mystery. It must be taken indoors but I would think it would have to have a room to itself, it was huge!!!!

Half way up Krimml waterfalls, the highest in Europe. Another hard climb but well worth it, the views were stunning and the spray kept you nice and cool on a very hot day.

The mountains appearing out of the clouds. It was amazing being higher than the clouds and standing on the ground.

And last but not least one of our afternoon cakes. The hotel provided afternoon cake everyday and they were always different and always delicious. The interesting thing was that none of them were sweet so you didn't feel they were too naughty!!!!


Thank you for visiting and being patient and for your lovely comments as always .

I hope you are enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend and the weather is better than it is here-Guess what it's raining again. Oh Well, more crafting time.

Back From Holidays

Hello out there in Blogland, did you think I'd deserted you.

We got back yesterday from two fantastic weeks in Austria. What a beautiful country with such friendly people and wonderful warm sunny weather. A perfect holiday in every way.

I'm not going to bore you with a holiday diary but if you are ever fed up with a beach holiday then this is the place to go, you certainly won't be bored. We could easily have filled another two weeks, although I think we would have needed two seats each on the plane after all the delicious food and cakes. Warm apple strudel at the top of a mountain in the sunshine,bliss.

We now want to go back and see it again in the snow!!! Time will tell if we make it.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments while I've been away, they are very much appreciated.

Well it's back to the mountain of washing and sorting out so I'll leave you with a photo of another kind of mountain and our beautiful lake.

I've got lots of photos to scrap so will be back very soon.

Thank you again for your patience, I have lots of blog reading to do to catch up with all I've missed.

Thank you for visiting.
