This Sunday Sevens is being sent by a rather worn out Postcard from Gibraltar, the reason why will become apparent in the sixth photo!
Sunday sunset
We had a beaut of a sunset on Sunday evening. So colourful. I’ve not included a sunset in Sunday Sevens for a while, so thought I’d put this one in.
It’s starting to look like a dress!
At last at my dressmaking class I am seeing progress. My dress is looking like a dress! Now time to fiddle with the frill!
A farewell lunch
An arty friend of mine is leaving Gibraltar and returning home to the Netherlands. This week I met her for lunch along with another arty friend to say farewell. We had Indian Tapas. It tasted as good as it looks.
Sunny morning walk by the sea
On Wednesday morning I went for a bit of a walk, I went for a coastal option rather than climbing up the Rock like normal. It was beautiful as I walked through Catalan Bay.
Experimenting with backgrounds
My next watercolour painting will be of nasturtiums, and I’ve been experimenting with the background to set them off nicely. I want a traditional Gibraltar stone wall, but how do I do that without drawing atttention away from the flowers? We’ll see if I can pull it off or not!
Med Steps
So yesterday was the Med Steps Challenge. It was really, really hard work – but then it wouldn’t be a challenge if it was easy would it? Not got much to add to that, still feeling rather tired!
Royal wedding fever
Royal wedding fever hit Gibraltar yesterday. I missed most of it slogging up the Rock, but had a quick trip to Ocean Village later on and there was a lot of well dressed people hitting the cava. One or two looked like they had started at breakfast time and were pushing on through to the FA Cup final. I think there may be a few sore heads around this morning!
That’s all for Sunday Sevens this week, thanks for stopping by! I’m linking with Natalie from Threads and Bobbins for this weekly blog series.
I take it you made the 5 times round The Steps – well done! Enjoy a well-earned rest.
Stunning sunset.
Thanks Sandra, I didn’t actually finish all 5 unfortunately. I wimped out before the end. I ran out of steam for some reason. But the most important thing is that the charity we were helping raised £1000s through the event. 😊
Not surprised – it sounds one hell of a challenge – be proud of what you did though and helping to raise all that money. My knees wouldn’t stand one descent of the Steps let alone 5 – I have to walk down hills sideways, much to the amusement of my grandchildren!
Thank you Sandra, as time goes on I’m realising that I did do well. I genuinely didn’t feel well so I did very well to achieve what I did. Two other members of the family have since been struck with the same symptoms so it wasn’t just my lack of fitness which made me feel like that!
Then you really did do extremely well!!!! <3
Thank you x
Well done on the Med Steps Challenge Lindsay!! Always enjoy your Sunday Sevens.
Aw thanks so much 😊 that’s lovely to hear. Didn’t manage all 5 this year sadly. Ran out of steam on number 4. Still a great experience though.
