Today we are recording an adventure, a time when we did something extraordinary. For me that was deciding to take a holiday on my own. Scary. The year was 2005 and John, my beloved husband had died 3 years earlier. I just didn't have anyone to go on holiday with and so I took the bull by the horns and booked myself into Abbotts Hall in South Cumbria for a walking holiday.
I have printed out a photo onto one side of a postcard and written about that adventure on the back and posted it to myself. 2nd class stamp posted at 1800 hours today wonder when it will drop through my letterbox and I can add it to my book.
My book still not finished but I have made a start. Hopefully will be able to finish the covers tonight.
2100 hours (or thereabouts) I finished the front cover of my book.
With a scrap of patterned paper and some ribbons with words on that I have had in my stash for ages. the butterfly stickers with wings that are raised and the little foam sticker with cute animals and letters I had fun

Now that looks like a fabulous place. I'm not sure if I'm posting mine to me yet, but I'll be interested in seeing how long yours takes to come home
Great adventure Mary & I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Coincidentally my Big Adventure was in 2005 too! I'll be posting in the forum & on my blog tomorrow!! As Sandra said, it'll be interesting to see how long Royal Mail take to get our cards back to us!!!
Scary stuff indeed Mary - nice to document how brave you were too.
Oops meant to say how lovely your front cover looks too!
It must have been scary going on holiday by yourself for the birst time, Mary. A walking holiday is a good way of meeting other people and not being on your own. Your book cover is lovely. Have fun filling it!
I love your bookcover. so clever. You are so brave to go on your own.
Wish I had the nerve to fly and go away on my own GO YOU!
Your cover is stunning. I enjoy walking every day but we don't have a walking club near me so I do it alone.
I love your cover! I'm a bit behind but looking forward to sending off my postcard. Good for you for taking that first step in vacationing on your own even though it must have been difficult. An adventure indeed!
