Still travelling around but now we're just settled in Florida enjoying finding bead shops, buying prom dresses and having too many pancakes, hash browns and brownies.

We visited the Ringling Museum today. We've been to the grounds before but the museum was under constructions so it was great to see it all this time- especially now I'm a trapeze artist in my spare time- in fact I need to watch those brownies or my next trapeze lesson won't be much fun!

I return to London soon- just in time to head off to Istanbul for the International Bead and Beadwork Conference being held there- and then return to London in time for Bead Magazine's new Bead show on the 1st December.

At some point I'll fit some beading in- I brought some with me, planning to spend lots of time lazing by the pool doing it, but of course never have enough time- but am crocheting a new scarf instead!

Today I've decided to treat you to a picture from the Midnight Buffet on the cruise- which I'm very proud to say I did not indulge in!
