Before breakfast we took a walk to Moreton Hall surroundings. It was a beautiful morning.

 Breakfast was served at 8.00 and at 9.30 all the groups gathered together.

We start to work at 10.00.

Here I am dispalying one of my works.

Marika, tutors and members of our group thinking hard...

Lunch was served at 13.00, fish & chips and apple pie, yum ! So very traditional English food, I suppose.

We flew from Tampere to Stansted airport, from where

 we travelled by National Express bus to London, Baker Street.
From Baker Street there was a few minutes walk to Marylebone train station

Anja and Marika at train.

To be continued:  my post last June "Letters on fabric",

My letter son the background.

Kitchen roll -background

While making background I added a little bit too much watery ink. I wiped with kitchen roll and
it gave a nice pattern...
