Bevan's Flannel Quilt

Hello, and welcome!

I'm just back from Manchester Airport.....dropped off Jonathan, Tanys and Bevan to catch the 7.05am flight to Belfast, Northern Ireland......they are today starting their new life in a new country.......and it was soooo hard for me to let them go.

I held onto Bevan for as long as I could, feeling his soft breath on my face, as we stood in the misty rain that had just started to fall in the dark, cold morning, at the drop-off point.

Jonathan is my baby, and I've never been without him........and Bevan is a part of my heart.........

I am hopeful that they will love their life in Ireland, and that Tanys can find good friends for herself and for Bevan, while Jonathan settles into his new work..............

They looked so very young as they walked into Terminal 3.............

I was so glad that my Gillian was driving us, because I wouldn't have been able to get myself home!

And Bangor is only an hour's flight away, so it won't be long before we can go to visit....just have to wait until Ken can spare the time away from work, and we can afford the flight.....haaaaa!

I know that I've been spoilt, having them living just minutes away, and because they have stayed at our house for the past three weeks.......but indulge me, here!.......I'm missin' them already!!!!

No card to share, today, but I thought I would give you a peek at the flannel quilt I finally finished, for Bevan.......it gets coooold in Northern Ireland, so it had to be flannel, which is my very favourite kind of quilt.....all soft, snuggly comfort.....sigh......

Remember, I only do quick, simple, easy......and my quilts are far from perfect (I don't do perfect, ever!)......but every stitch was made with love :)..........

It is very soft.....very warm......very cosy.......

And I want to imagine Bevan sleeping beneath it, and remembering his Grandma........

Hugs,

Anne-Marie x
