Popping in to upload a few pics…the Inspired retreat is over, and it was a great event. I love walking around the class to see what students are creating…and holy frijoles, they made amazing and inspiring pieces!<\/p>\n

This is Crabwell Manor, the location of the event. Loved it….it's an old converted castle, and the rooms are all unique.<\/p>\n

This is part of the old wall that surrounds Chester. At one point in history the Romans were here, and there are even remains of a Roman wall and they've discovered the site of an amphitheater.<\/p>\n

There are lots of tudor-style buildings in the Chester shopping district. Lovely!<\/p>\n

Chester Cathedral….a lovely old cathedral that dates back as far as 927 AD.<\/p>\n

Here's Karen Burniston<\/a>, my long lost pretend twin separated from birth…heh heh. We had a blast, and bought these "jaunty caps" because it was raining and we were cold. <\/p>\n

Here's another shot of Chester…and all the shoppers with their "brollys" (umbrellas).<\/p>\n

\"Small07\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I didn't take many pictures at the event (I was too busy teaching), but hope to steal, er, I mean ask politely if I can download some from Emma & Karen.<\/p>\n

I'll leave you with a few shots of the interior of the Chester Cathedral. <\/p>\n

I love England….so fun to be back here again after all these years (y'all know my family lived here for 3 years when I was a kid, right?) I just wish my fellas were with me! I'm bringing home 60 Curly Wurly's and 48 Star Bars and 5 lbs of gummy sour coke bottles!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
