Nothing much has changed at your place then maddy apart from you being extra busy making things.  It all looks lovely.

I need a really light suitcase - if you ever see a good one in the bargain basement please let me know. Probably the medium size up to 25kg luggage size IYKWIM. one that spins in 360 degrees. I bought a POK suitcase last time Gretch said they were going cheap and it's been snatched a few times by my kids but I've managed to get it back. Had to swap it in Croatia for my DD's smaller one that was battered and falling apart as she said she'd doubt if it would stay together for her 4 month holiday. What a shocker, it's in the bin.

Oh Maddy, welcome back  ;D

CP. I recently bought a three set Paklite flight weight from POK only $150. Absolutely the lightest ever and they actually fold up a bit when not in use. The larger of the three I will probably never use but ya never know. They are
very strong and I love my Paklite as not one I have had with a LOT of travel has ever let me down. It is the three red ones in this pic.

One of these. The one with the outside pockets I have had maybe 25 years and it is extremely well travelled though it has never been checked baggage.

Thanks for the case tips Gert.  Must say I have never seen that brand before so will have to have a look around.

I have missed your shopping Maddy, and I love the boots.

I love all your pink Maddy; just like my GD; any colour Grandma as long as its pink, nothing else will do.

I bought the pack lite cases too. Two of the smaller ones as we always travel as light as possible.  They look good and as Gert says fold down when empty.
