Retreat 2020 - a new experience (Wednesday)

This retreat was always going to be different.  We normally go from Friday and the "normal" part goes through to Sunday lunch - but several of us stay on - some until Tuesday and self cater for that period.

BUT this year - another group wanted to book for the week that we are usually there - lingering - so we agreed to start on Wednesday (if we wanted the longer stay) and finish up Sunday lunchtime or so.
We knew about that change last year.

BUT - Covid came along . . - so although we are all very grateful that we live in Qld and we have been relatively free of too much community spread - and we are all extremely grateful that we can still go on retreat - Covid has changed things.
The venue is the same - but we don't get the usual morning & afternoon teas that were so delicious.  We are self-catering meals until Friday dinner and self-catering all morning & afternoon teas.
True - we could probably live without - BUT we are women and we like to have good things to eat....and retreat time does lend itself to some treats.

So, I will say it once - at the moment I am very grateful that I live in Qld - you won't often hear that from me.  I miss my home state.

And for the record - this is our 14th visit.

Moving on . . .here is the "To Do" board - but it’s looking very sparse as there are only 6 of us so far.  

But already two finishes.   I can’t show one of them, but here is Inca’s Leaders and Enders Quilt top.

Here is my To Do list

My first project is my Tea Time placemats.  It seems I brought them here to retreat in 2018, so about time to finish them off.  I made good progress ...so a finish tomorrow.....I hope!
