Great pictures of Concorde Lilian. Funnily enough we visited Cosford at the weekend. No Concorde, but plenty of other interesting planes. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #7
ReplyDeleteI hope your visit was as rewarding as it sounded Lilian so nice to do the things we have wanted to do for a while. It looks very impressive.
ReplyDeleteYour clean space looks a welcoming sight, I always seem to be creating in a tiny area. Happy WoywW Tracey #3

Your card is lovely! Thank you for joining Try it on Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteOOh I didn't know you could go and see Concord! Fascinating. I remember my neighbour loved it, and had actually flown on it. She would go up to Heathrow to see it take off. Sadly she passed away many years ago. A lovely lady but such an unusual passion!! Great card too. Happy WOYWW Cindy #23
ReplyDeleteI always thought the Concorde was such a beautiful plane and it was a great shame when they grounded it but I bet it was very special looking round it. Thanks for sharing this visit with us. Wishing you a very happy woyww and a lovely creative week, Angela x17x
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy WOYWW for yesterday. My granfather actually flew on the Concorde, such an impressive plane.
ReplyDeleteConcorde pictures are fab - such a shame it doesn't fly any more - my Dad saw it in flight and said it was like a big swan! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteJust enjoy your diamond painting, which I have never heard of before.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you went to the Concorde - what a thrill.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx
Such a pretty card! Thanks for sharing at JUGS!
ReplyDeleteHi Lillian. What a lovely post! A truly nostalgic visit for you - Filton and Concorde. I only saw it once, flying over what was my childhood home. So graceful up there in the sky, and so distinctive. A lovely card, too, for the challenge - well done. That desk is just SO neat and tidy - I like to work that way - but hardly ever succeed!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.
