Boohoo...

Not a Happy Bunny today! I'm so disappointed. I had been looking forward to my holiday in St Andrew's/Scotland for the Scottish Dancing Summer School for so long (I'd booked it in February!) and today is the day I should have gone! But...I have a bad ankle that doesn't lend itself to dancing or hill-walking! And so I'm still in good old Chertsey and will be singing at the afternoon service at a local residence for the elderly instead... Nice enough, but of course no comparison to being on holiday and practising my favourite hobby!
However, I've promised myself to still get some "holiday" out of this week by doing at least lots of stuff that I like, such as lots of scrapbooking and reading and being out in the sunshine. (Yes, the big yellow thing is finally in the sky - I'd almost given up hope, but the last week was nice off and on, and since yesterday it has been positively hot.) And I've already started finishing some of the ALS pages off (the blank pages I showed a few posts down) - so here they are:

The title is the first line of one of my favourite songs (from "The Man La Mancha") - the photos
are from my early days in England when I really loved the feeling of freedom and being
able to do all those outdoorsy adventurous things, with and without Sean...

Photos taken at a pub dinner stop during our canalboat holiday
last summer - with our friends Kate and Nicole.

This LO was inspired by the worded cutouts that came with the kit - they reminded me of all
the worries I used to go through before the slalom competitions, thinking I'd never get anywhere:
this was the Promotion to Div 3.

A LO on my dear friend Eve - both photos taken during day trips the summer before last.
The title panel is made from a Valentine's card I received from Tinny, a friend in the US.
