I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Preparations

It’s almost time for our annual Summer Road Trip.  With that in mind, when I was shopping recently and spotted a pack of Heidi Swapp’s No Limits paper in a discount store*, I picked it up immediately.  I’ve actually used this collection before, because it works well for a travel journal and the colours are to my liking too.

It’s a no frills journal this time.  Just a simple 6 x 8 landscape format which will eventually be spiral bound.  I cut plain and patterned pages and will use them in whatever order I come across them.

The first page is complete, though.  Isn’t it irritating when the place you are looking for is off the map, though?

 

*I bought the pack at Home Sense in Gloucester, the homeware offshoot of TK Maxx.  Though it wasn’t labelled as “seconds”, the quality of the print is not good and if I’d had more time/energy, I’d have taken it back.  As it is, I’ve cut most of it up and I guess it’s no big deal.

Once again, the Queen of Journals struts her stuff. I'm anticipating another spectacular travel journal.
