One of the very nicest things about blogging is making new friends. More often than not I seem to have a lot in common with all of you out there. I certainly feel like I’ve encountered quite a few kindred spirits and made some very good friends along my blogging journey. Let’s face it, I don’t meet a lot of crazy knitters and quilters in my everyday life, but I find inspiration and enjoy my blog friends every day! (And for that ladies, thank you!!).<\/p>\n

Once in a while I have the chance to meet one of my blog friends in person. In some ways it’s a funny experience – you already know such a lot about each other and the signs are good that you’re going to get along just fine – but in the back of my mind there’s always a little ‘but what if we don’t’ thought. I mean when it comes down to it I could be meeting up with an axe-murderer – the chance is probably very slim, but it must happen sometimes!<\/p>\n

Yesterday I met up with Lindsay from Rocking Chair Reflections<\/a> in Luzern. You won’t be surprised to know that we barely drew breath for over 4 hours. Luzern was looking particularly beautiful, but to be honest we were so busy gassing that we really didn’t pay it as much notice as we should have. Lindsay is delightful – as I knew she would be and I’m sure we’ll meet up again, maybe next time with our knitting!<\/p>\n

So here is Lindsay ….and a little sample of Luzern in the sunshine. It’s a lovely town. You may want to have it on your list of places to visit if you’re ever in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Lindsay for coming down from Engelberg to meet up. We had a lovely day and I went home feeling really uplifted. A day out in the sunshine with great company did me the world of good.<\/p>\n

The people who say that blog friends aren’t real friends don’t frankly, know what they are talking about!<\/p>\n

PS Thank you to all of you for your lovely comments about my hip pain. It’s starting to feel a little better – so I haven’t given up hope yet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
