See all the photos in this discussion here.
Our this theme this month is CELEBRATIONS! We have been celebrating all sorts of things in this discussion hosted by Patricia Underwood.
Karen Gordon and Chris Chiplen
A wonderful visit in Wales
From Chris' delightful report:
I had a lovely surprise last week, Karen Gordon messaged me, asking if she and her husband Stuart could visit. Karen and I are in touch frequently, so I was surprised I hadn’t heard about them visiting Wales. What I hadn’t realised was that it was a spontaneous decision and that the purpose of their visit was to visit me! Stuart is a keen runner and fancied doing a few runs while they were here. They arrived Friday and were leaving early Sunday morning, they were staying about a half hour’s drive from my home.
There have been so many wonderful blankets that have passed through the Blanket Room this month. Visit this discussion to see the amazing array of colors.
FUND RAISER - KAS SUPPORT WEBSITE

The total amount is $335 US.
We still have about 1/2 way to go...
We had visits from Leanne and Bongi one day in late June. Estelle came into The Barn in July.
Lots and lots of love and laughter.
