Carly Stories
I have just returned from my all time favourite holiday. It was my 8th time and yet again, I worked on and read out some of my stories. I was in Limnisa, Methane, Greece staying with Mariel and Philip. There is always loads of advice and this time I have yielded and listened to Charlotte …
Final Blog – phew I hear you shout! No more purple photos and slightly ridiculous projects. But as it is the very last one it has to go out with a bang and be long! Very, extremely long…….
I really can’t quite believe it. I just looked at my Delhi return flight tickets. I left in October and am returning in March. Hah, that should be six months but it was in fact just four. Halloween to St David’s Day. But what a time. And like all good things, it must come to …
Sneaking in another blog post.
I just went a bit mad with projects these last few days. All this stuff has to be used up or left here. And luckily the ideas kept flowing! When you go mad doing craft stuff all day you end up with lots of bits and pieces. And really I don’t want to return with …
Penultimate Blog….I am pleased to be posting all these last projects.
Large Andeshe Plant Montages Every morning in Andeshe after my yoga (ok very short – 10 minutes using the Yoga Studio App) I ran with Johnny the adolescent dog here. We run up and down the road and return in time for my breakfast of an oat, date and banana dairy smoothie. During the run …

The home run – I really cannot believe this wonderful and empowering sabbatical is nearly over!
Talking to Harry about recently we agreed that you always feel ready to come home at the end of a holiday. In many ways this has been like an extended Indian craft holiday and I am excited to be coming back although not for the weather or actually having anywhere permanent to live! But that …
The pressure is on. Must get as many projects completed as possible!
Never let it be said that doctors aren’t competitive. They are and I am. I am on a mission to finish up as many things as possible. It is nearly as bad as an obsession about purple or prime numbers or spirals. To fit everything in as I am running out of time and want …

Trying so hard not to buy anything related to stationary and craft here! But failing……
Whilst most of you are getting up today I will be heading off to Pune or Poona for my final (promise really!) set of supplies for my last week here in India. I just need a bit more paper, some mauve fluffy pompom balls, a bit of lace, some leather for a luggage tap and …
Post Valentine’s Day Post
So there is a little bit of hype here in Pune for Valentine’s Day but really nothing of substance which, to be honest, is a relief. I have run away from the fantastic organic farm about an hour outside Pune to stay in the city for the weekend. Going to the synagogue was a wonderful …
Only stuff from my trip to Hampi.
Actually I stayed in Anegundi on the opposite bank to Hampi and made all this stuff there! I cycled to quite a few temples in Hampi and enjoyed the hippyness of the Hampi Bazaar area. But mostly I came for the stunning scenery and to stay in Uramma Cottages (https://urammaheritagehomes.com/properties-hampi/uramma-cultural-residency/) which came highly recommended. Every …
